Winchester PreSbytery.

Winchester Presbytery, which EN-
braces the work OF the Southern Presby-
terrain Church in the counties in Virginia
and West Virginia lying in the triangle
bounded at its points by Luray Va, and
Berkeley Springs and Davis, w. Va,
was in session at Keyser from Tuesday
to Friday OF last week.
There were thirty eight ministers and
elders present.
Rev. Mr.. Clark, OF Davis, was elected
moderator, and Rev. c. D. GilkeSon, Of
Moorefield, and Rev. H. M. Moffett, OF
Charles Town, were made clerks.
Beside the regular routine work OF the
Presbytery, plans were formed looking
to the erection OF a new church near
Blaine, w. Va, and a more adequately
sustained effort TO reach the large num-
bers of practically unchurChed through
the coal and lumber sections Of the Ale
ghanies.
A more liberal support OF the home
mission work throughout the Synod OF
Virginia was also undertaken, and an
overture was adopted to be forwarded to
the General Assembly, which meets at
Atlanta, Ga, in May, asking certain
changes in the policy and conduct OF the
foreign mission work OF the church,
which it is believed would add 10 the
effectiveness OF the work.
Rev. Alfred Jones, D. d., OF KernS-
town, Rev. J. H. Lacy, D. D., OF Win
chester, and MessrS. N. w. Kuykendall,
OF Romney, and W. A Fry, OF Keyser,
were elected commissioners to the ap-
preaching meeting OF the Assembly.
From the reports that came up to the
Presbytery from its constituent churches
il is evident that the work within the
bounds OF the PreSbytery is being con-
Quoted with energy, and the church is
enjoying an increase Of effectiveness
over that of the past and previous years.

Uncle Jesse Peterson Passes Away.

Uncle Jesse Peterson Passes Away.
II is with genuine regret that we an
nounce the death OF Uncle" Jesse Peter
son, an aged colored man, who has been
a familiar figure about ShepherdStown for
many years. Uncle Jesse before the war
was slave, living in the KearneySville
neighborhood. He was man OF power-
full physique until sickness Slapped his
strength, and for long time he had been
partially blind. For a number OF years
he turned the press in the Register office,
where he became noted for his wise and
witty sayings. He was an unusually
shrewed maa, typical old Southern
darky, and few persons could corner him.
He had limited circle OF white
gen men" as his most intimate friends and
they found unceaSing amusement in con-
versation with him. Uncle Jesse leaned
to the Baptist faith, and before the final
summons came he expressed his full con-
fidence that his great Master would give
him welcome. Peace to his soul.

Mothers Day.

IhOlhCi HNN'
Mothers Day will be celebrated this
year on Sunday, May II, special services
being held in many OF the churches OF
the country on that day, and the wearing
OF white carnations, Symbollzlng the
purity OF mothers love, being worn by
thousands of people. This will be the
fourth annual celebration OF the day.
Mothers Day originated with a former
West Virginia woman, Miss Anna Jarvis.
Six years ago, when she was comment
Grating the death OF her own mother, II
occurred to her that the second Sunday
in May, falling as it does, in the time OF
the year when the skies are blue and the
spring blossoms at their height, may
well be set aside as an annual festival
upon which due tribute OF affection and
remembrance should be rendered TO all
mothers. Miss Jarvis plead her cause so
eloquently with leading clergymen that
finally May 10, 1910, was set aside as the
first Mothers Day, and now, annually,
il is celebrated on the Sunday nearest
that date.

Good Baseball.

In very close and exciting game OF
baseball here last Saturday the Shepherd
College team lost to Frederick High
School by the score of 2 to |. This was
by far the best game played on the home
field in long while, and both teams play
ed a fine game. Phillips started spitch-
err for the home team, but was relieved by
Garfield in the third inning after the Wis
itors had scored their two runs, and he
prevented further scoring on their part.
Luck seemed to be against the home team
for there were times when il could easily
have tied!the score, but they were unable
to get a man home. An explanation is
that one OF the visitors had rabbit
and whenever we were about to score
he would put the charm under his right
heel and stand on it.
