and Osceola Tribe, No. 1l2, of Shep-
herdstown, Improved Order of Red Men,
agreed to consolidate, and the Shepherds
town tribe was merged into Shenandoah

Owens & Miller have their drug store
in the Register building very beautifully
decorated with appropriate Christmas
designs, and with the handsome holiday
goods that they display, their place is
most attractive. They give cordial in
vitation TO all the people to come and see
them.
The winter schedule on the b. & o.
Railroad went into effect last Sunday.
There was no change OF importance.
Train No. IL, west bound, now stops at

That charming little story, "The Cap
tain," by Miss Virginia Lucas, of this
county, is on sale in ShepherdStown at
the store of Owens & Miller. Miss Lu-
cas- is much annoyed that the publishers
have not yet issued the volume OF poems
by her father, the late Judge Daniel B.
Lucas, which she recently collated.
B. S. Pendleton, who has been in bus
mess in Shepherdstown for number OF
years, offers his store for sale, and will
retire from business. This is one of the
most desirable locations in town and is
worthy the consideration OF anyone de
String to 60 into business. Mr.. Pendle-
ton wishes to retire because Of i'll health.
Mrs. Vim. X. Deck, an aged resident of
Shepherdstown, had narrow escape
from painful injury a few days ago.

had an attack OF vertigo and fell toward

catch her just in time TO save her from
what would have been at lie ST very severe
| burns.

pleasure TO the recipient. Sent TO any

We were requested 10 publish the cor
reSpondence between the local lodge OF
MasonS and the Grand Master, showing
why the latter declined to lay the corner
stone OF the firemen'S hall in this place
with Masonic ceremonies. The copy
was not furnished us, however, until just
before going TO press, and we will have
10 defer it until our next issue.
The canal is being seined at various
points along the line this week by men
working under the direction of the Fish
and Game Association of the District OF
Columbia. The bass and other gamefiSh
that are taken are being put back into the
Potomac river, whilethe carp and suckers
and catfish are the SpoilS OF the SeinerS.
A great many bass have been put back
into the river.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the
President-elect, has done the graceful
thing for the Shepherdstown firemen.
She had sent a pretty embroidered hand
kerchlef TO the firemen to vote off, and it
was destroyed in the big fire here some
weeks ago. When this fact was brought
TO Mrs. Wilson's attention she generous
ly sent another to the firemen, and il will
be voted off during their fair next week.

Col. John H. Leathers, of Louisville,
KY, an old Jefferson county boy who
has prospered in that city, but who still
loves his old home and is interested in
the affairs of his native section, has sent
a check for ten dollars to the Shepherds

kindly sentiments toward the firemen
and hopes that they may be successful in
their undertaking.
