Mr.. Ebert Vaughen Link and Miss
Jessie HARDWOOD Mohler, both of this
county, were married at the Lutheran
parsonage in Shepherdstown by Rev. Fl.
c. Haithcox on Tuesday. Weentend our
best wishes for the future happiness of
the young couple.
The postal savings feature put in effect
at the Shepherdstown postoffice yester-
Jay seems not to have been very popu-
lar, as not one customer took advantage
OF the opportunity to deposit money. 1t
is quite evident that our two excellent
banking institutions are entirely satisfac-
tory TO the people.

Jackson in the Southern Methodist Church

Lieut.. J.W. James, Confederate veter-
an of Wyoming, Iowa. who formerly lived
in this neighborhood, in renewing his sub
scription to the Register, asks US to re-
member him to all his old comrades OF
Company D. He says that he still enjoys
good health, and there is plenty of win
ter in his secton-the thermometer has
ueen down as low as d below zero.
John Meter, yard conductor in the
Western Maryland Railroad yards at Ha-
gerstown, was seriously burned at his
home in that place on Tuesday. Mr.
Meter, whose wife was Miss Stella
Jones, formerly of ShepherdStown, was
trying TO thaw out frozen water pipe,
Shen can of oil exploded and threw
the blazing oil over him. His left arm
and hand and leg were very badly burn
ed. the flesh dropping off in places.
We are sorry to learn of an accident
that befel Mrs. Joseph B. VanMetre, at
her home near town, yesterday. AS she
was descending a stairway she made
miSs-step and fell, breaking one OF her
arms near the shoulder. Besides the
| fracture, the arm and shoulder were bad
ly bruised, making the injury more than
ordinarily painful. DR.. ]. L. Meyers gave
her surgical aid. Mrs. VanMetre has been
very unfortunate because of broken bones.
| She has been obliged to use clutches for
several years because of a fractured hip
that has given her great deal of trouble.
There's good deal of kicking at the
unsatisfactory way in which Shepherds
town mail has been handled on the Nor
folk & Western trains the past couple OF
months. II is common occurrence for
the mail clerks on train No. Is to carry
part of the mail past this place, and they
seem to take no interest in getting it back
| on the next train. Although the Western
Maryland train made IFS usual connection
at Hagerstown yesterday morning, no
Baltimore mail was put off at Shepherds
town. and business men had to do with
out important mail and the people had to
do without their daily papers.
The friends OF Mrs Kibler, wife OF Rev.
!. L. Nbler, formerly of Shepherdstown,
| will be sorry to learn of very serious
accident that befell her in Washington
few days ago. Rev. Mr.. Kibler is pastor
| of Calvary Methodist Church South in
that city, and had been arranging for re-
yival service. Mrs. Kibler was assisting
| in the preparations. and while doing some
visiting slipped and fell heavily upon an
| icy sidewalk. She struck upon her
shoulder, shattering the shoulder bone and
also fracturing the arm above the elbow.
The injury is very painful and serious
| one and she will be disabled for a long
