Wool is coming into market and local
dealers are paying 20 cents pound for

much unsettled on account OF the tariff

fectually settled on those streets where
the oil was applied, and it is desired to
have the work done earlier in the season
this year.
The Martinsburg World of Tuesday
says: Harry Cookus, OF North Martins
burg, is in danger OF losing his left arm.
Seven weeks ago he was vaccinated. and
from that time he has suffered constantly
and has been compelled to have the arm

him relief" He is a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Cookus, formerly of Shepherds

ed upon to suffer so serious a misfortune.

Rev. N. o. Sewers, superintendent OF
the Davis Child Shelter and Hospital in
Charleston, and his son, Marion Sewers,
were in ShepherdStown last Friday, max

to receive additional contributions, which
may be sent to him at Charleston.
