Surprising their friends and relatives,
Mr.. lanes r. Rau, of Harper's Ferry,
and Miss Bessie Lamar, of Shepherdstown,
last Saturday went to Frederick and were
married by the Rev. E. w. Halleck, rec
tor of the Episcopal church at Princeton,
Va. Mr.. Rau and Miss Lamar went to
the home OF Mrs. Chas. W. Ross where
the ceremony was performed. There
was some trouble in finding minister
and the groom finally got Mr.. Halleck,
who was in Frederick conducting funeral
and was about TO leave the city. II is
understood that the wedding was TO be
kept a secret, and Mr.. Rau thought re
had furthered the plan by securing a
stranger to preform the ceremony. AS
MIR. Haleck entered the parlor he i'm
medately recognized the bride, having
known her and lived in the same commu-
nifty all his life. He obligingly married
them and the youthful couple departed on
a short honeymoon. Mrs. Rau is one OF
Shepherdstown's most attractive girls
and has large number OF friends and ad-
mirers who join us in extending them

KeedysyiIIe Has Big Fire.

Avery disastrous fire occurred Monday
night shortly before midnight, at Keedys-
vile, which destroyed several thousand
dollars worth OF valuable property and
threatened a number OF houses which
were near the scene. AT ll.3O p. m. an
alarm was sounded and the people OF
Keedysville rushed TO the railroad where
they found the warehouse OF w. c. Geet-
ing enveloped in flames. When the tire
was first discovered 1t was burning on
the second story OF the warehouse, 1t
having apparently begun in about the
centre OF the building, which was frame
structure, about IS by so feet. In about
IS minutes after the fire was discovered
it had spread TO the B. & o. station which
was only a few yards away and this
building was soon doomed, but fortu-
nately the operator, F. A. Gates, was
there and secured most OF the papers and
records OF value 10 the railroad company.
The loss of the station is estimated at
about 81 900. The building was about
20 by so feet, and was built about Is
years ago. The conflagration then spread
to the wash house of Emory Line, and it
was only by strenuous fighting that the
destruction Of this building and his resi-
dence was prevented. Mr.. Lines loss
is about SIS. The stone building OF Grant
Line and also that of Roy Line were en-
dangered.

Morgan's Grove Fair.

The 18th annual exhibition Of the Nor
gan's Grove Fair Association will be held
next week and from al indications will
be one of the most successful in years.
The grounds are in better shape than
they have ever been and number ofim-
provements have been made. A space
has been reserved for automobiles and a
new gate has been put in at the top Of the
hill through which only autos may pass.
The horse show promises to be better
than ever. A great many entries have
been listed with more to come. The
feature of the horse show will be the La
dies Riding Class. A very handsome
loving cup is the prize, and great many
contestants are expected. The cup is
the handsomest that the Association has
ever offered and it will be exhibited in
Owens and Miller's drug store in a day
or two.
The usual baby show will be held on
Friday afternoon with H. L. Snyder in
charge. The prizes are as follows: Pref
test boy baby, silver cup, second prize,
$3.50; prettiest blonde girl baby, neck
chain; prettiest brunette girl baby, neck
chain; latest baby, $3.50, second prize,
81 so; for finest twins, $500.
The free attraction this year is lady
aeronaut, who will ascend daily in bal
loon, make a parachute jump and give
a trapeze performance while descending.
A number of sideShows and other attrac-
tons have also been booked.
The social features that have been so
enjoyable at the fair will be greater than
ever. Nearly of the former teat-holders
have applied for their old places, and a
number of additional persons want to join
the circle and have part in the good
fellowship that has SO long been Tea
ture OF the Morgan's Grove Fair.
1t is hoped that our people generally
will unite in their efforts to make the fair
a success. Everybody ought to prepare
exhibits and thus add to the interest in the
various departments. Liberal premiums
are offered, and it is worth while TO enter
the contest for the prizes that are given.
Premium lists may be secured from the
secretary or other officers of the associ-
alton.

Hog Cholera and Criminal Negligence.

Editor of the Register-During recent
visit in Jefferson and adjacent counties, !
was amazed al the fatal ravages Of the
hog cholera, and utter carelessness in
the disposition of the dead animals. Ii
can be checked 10 some extent if proper
precaution is observed. When hog
dies of cholera, the flesh become mass
of polluted poison, and permeates the
whole atmosphere nearby, and thus in
fects other animals. The proper course
is to burn TO ashes the dead animals as
soon as possible. Some persons do moi
even bury the remains of cholera hogs,
but let buzzards feast upon the putrid
flesh and scatter the disease in all direc-
ton. The health officer, or persons who
desire to prevent further spread OF hog
cholera, should lodge complaint against
anyone who does not bury the remains
OF infected animals.
Respectfully,
/. H. CRoWFORD,

SUSSEX COUNTY TEACHERS
TO ASSEMBLE At LEWES
LEAVES MILFORD BECAUSE He
WAS UNABLE TO DEAL FOR HALL

Milford Business Men Sore Over the
Affair and Claim it Will Mean a
Loss of Over $4,000 to Them
The merchants and hotel men of
Milford will be short fully two
thousand dollars this year, by reason
of the loss of the annual institute
being held at Lewes, Delaware.
Prof. E. j. Hardesty has decided
upon this course after receiving two
letters from Lieutenant Foulk, who
was at the time manager of the
Armory Hall in Milford, in which he
states that he was compelled to take
the Teachers Institute elsewhere,
after having been held there for so
many years. When the Teachers
Institute was held there last fall,
the heating apparatus was out of
order, and the session for one day
had to be held in the Methodist
Church, and for this reason Prof.
Hardesty held back part of the
rental of the hall, which seemed to
be one of the Misunderstanding be-
tween him and the management.
He states that he wrote to the man.
ager this fall asking for reservation
of Armory Hall for the institute in
November and received in reply a
letter which he considered personal
affront TO him but for the sake of
all concerned he again wrote asking
for positive reply to the question
of a reserve for the last week in
November for this years institute.
To this he claims that an answer
which ne regarded as insulting to
him was returned and he Immediately
sought for another town in which
to hold the sessions of 1912. Lewes
guaranteed that he should have two
hundred reserved seats sold in ad-
vance at one dollar each for the
evening entertainments, and the
deal was closed; which cuts out
Milford from sharing in the cash
/ disbursement made In holding the
Annual Teachers Institute in Mil
ford. There are 297 teachers in
Sussex County, and each pay 81. 25
per day for three days and the merch-
ants have heretofore reported that
their cash sale to teachers would
amount to sum equal to an average
of four or five dollars per teacher.
Many have bought winter outfits
while the sales of fine shoes, turs
and other merchandise have been
pleasing. The people from the sur
! Foundipg-eountry have generally-at-
tended the sessions and they will
miss this opportunity for hearing
instructive lectures on matters per-
tanning to education.

FOR EVERY FAMILY

To the head of every family the
Aealth OF its different members is
most important, and the value Of an
agreeable laxative that is certain In
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies In the family
medicine chest is a combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists aud physicians
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in its
action on the bowels, yet positive in
its effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere SELL DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in so" and $1.oo
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to DR.. ". B. Caldwell,
pol Washington st., Monticello, ILL.,,
and ask for a sample bottle. Dr.. Cald.

Great Falls.-The final survey of

1t Is an interesting coincidence that a

Copper company. This conference
coming so soon after the final survey,
is accepted by local business men as
evidence that construction work will
start very soon.
