miles above Hancock along the canal

miles above Hancock along the canal
and he certainly has beautiful home.
We spent the nightin Hancock, and about
$50 Thursday morning we headed for
home. In spite OF tie grass, which was
getting worse, and some more engine
trouble, we made Wi!liamsport about
five O'Clock, going TO Hagerstown and
spending the night. The next day started
out mighty warm and the motor seemed
to want 10 take advantage OF that fact.
The level below Williamspot is seven
miles long and we were about three hours
making that seven miles. We were not
far from the lock when We sighted a load
ed boat about half mile in front of us.
By this time we were all pretty warm
and just about tired out, so after very
brief discussion we decided to catch that
boat and load our boat on il and take the
slow but sure way OF getting home. We
got out our tow-line and just as the canal
boat pulled into the lock we caught if.
The captain, Frank Myers, OF Big Pool,
was more than glad TO have US, so we
got our equipment and boat aboard, and
the next several hours We spent in COOL
ing off under the boat awning. AT
Fowler's lock we laid in generous sup
ply OF food, including bread, butter, eggs,
pies, ETC., and with the aid ofthe captains
stove we soon had big supper. Sleep
ing accommodations on canal boat are
rather limited, so we three started to
sleep on the deck of the after-cabin. but
about midnight thunder storm came up
and we were obliged to retire to the hay
house. There was plenty of hay in it,
but il was all baled, and bale OF hay
does not make such a comfortable bed;
however, we managed to get in some
pretty fair sleeping. Saturday morning
about ten o'clock we got TO the lock OPP
posite Shepherdstown, fired, sleepy,
hungry, and badly sunburned, but hap
pier crowd would have been hard to find.
We took some kodak pictures of that
grass, and when they are developed we
will have sufficient proof that it was so
thick that fair-sized turtles crawled about
on top of it.

NOTES FROM NEARBY.


Martinsburg is enforcing its Sunday
laws, and the places where soft drinks,
candies, icecream. ETC., are sold must
be kept closed on The Sabbath day.
There will be no encampment Of
United States troops at Winchester this
summer. The War Department has can
ceIed the leases on the lands il had en-
gagged.
The report of the court auditor shows
that the creditors of Archibald E. Barnes,
who recently failed in business in Ha-
gerstown, will receive y l-5 cents on
the dollar.
The Eastern Panhandle Fair managers
have concluded not to attempt to hold
any fair at Martinsburg this year. as it
would be impossible TO get the buildings
ready by the coming fall.
Hagerstown whiskey got another VIC
tim last week. Ohio CLANCY, OF Clear
spring, went to town and made the round
of the saloons, after which he fell into a
cellar and broke his skull.
II is said that the Norfolk & Western
Railway Company has awarded to Wade
& Graham, of Roanoke, Va, the contract
for the erection OF the new passenger sta
ton at Charles Town at cost OF about
$4,000.
A big deal in peaches in the South
Mountain fruit belt was made at Smiths
burg on Monday, when w. H. Chandler
& Co., of Scranton, Pa, purchased the
output OF the orchards OLD. w. Barkdoll,
DR.. ]. H. Besore, S. Jason Geiser, and
Allan S. Geiser. amounting to about 10
carloads, or about 10000 baskets. The
growers received two cents pound for
the fruit. The growers will pick and
pack the fruit and the buyers will furnish
the baskets. This is the first time peach
es have sold in large quantities by the
pound, as required by the new Pennsyl-
vania law. The deal will bring the four
growers about $1,000. A shortage in the
peach crop in New York and paris OF
Canada has driven northern buyers TO the
MARYLAND orchards. Ii is estimated that
the peach crop in the Smithsburg belt
alone will amount to 1000 carloadS-the
largest in the history OF this section.
Many growers who have been meeting
with short crops in past years will reap
small fortunes this year.
Announcement has been made by the
Government Forest Service that the Ma
tional Forest Reservation Commission
has approved for purchase by the govern
ment 6,OS3 acres in West Virginia, OF
which 5000 acres are in one tract in
Tucker and Randolph counties, in the
Monongahela purchase area. The re-
naming SO acres are in Hardy county, in
the Potomac purchase area. The total
acreage in West Virginia approved for
purchase aggregates l05,4SO acres, and
the lands approved for purchase in the
East total ,lO4, 900 acres, having pur-
chase price OF S., 500, 900, leaving s., co.,
600 Of the original appropriation available
for 1915. The government is building up
good-sized traits, which are purchased
when they are of size worth while.
The average price so far has been some
thing under S. per acre. Some OF the
tracts so far purchased are already pro-
ductive in the sale of timber. Efforts are
being made TO protect all OF the tracts
from fire damage and TO make as much
use OF them for grazing and other pur-
poses as is consistent with the main pur-
pose, which is to protect the watershed.

Charles s. Billmyer and T. D. Ever
hart. of this county, attended the sale OF
Jersey cattle held by Geo. w. Johnson at
his place near Parkersburg last week and
bought part OF a carload OF fine stock.
They say that Mr.. Johnson had a very
successful sale. Cows sold as high as
1910, and baby calves brought from $40
TO $50. About 10 head of stock were
sold, number of them little calves, and
the average OF the lot was over 500.
Mr.. Johnson has fine place OF about 300
acres. half of which is splendid bottom
land, along the Ohio river eight or ten
miles below Parkersburg, and his cattle
are unusually fine. Mr.. Billmyer and
MIR. Everhart have perhaps the best Jer-
seys in this county, and they have added
some excellent material to their herds.
Mr.. Billmyer has cow that has complet-
ed a wears record, in which she produc-
ed 500 pounds OF butter. Her record tor
May was so pounds, and this was just
before she became fresh.
Last Sunday an engine to Norfolk d
Western freight train that had evidently
lost its spark arrester spat out so much
fire between Charles Town and Rpon
that considerable damage was done to
crops in the fields adjacent TO the rail-
road. A twenty-acre field of wheat in
the shock belonging to Marshall Burns
was burned over and all the wheat de-
stroyed, causing loss OF about $500.
The fire spread over large tract OF
new ground belonging to Mr.. Burns and
consumed also field OF hay just ready
TO cut. A fifteen-acre field of wheat in
the shock belonging to p. W. Harrison,
south Of Ripon station, was also set afire,
and wheat valued at from $500 TO $500
was destroyed. w. T. Saunders, in the
same vicinity, had 100 shocks OF wheat
burned. A stubble field belonging to b.
F. Ramey was burned over and some
fencing was destroyed. Mr.. Lafollette,
nm the linn farm, and Mr.. LaRue also
! suffered some loss from similar fires.

hall mile from the head Of Big Pool we
began TO encounter more floating grass,
and if was only by a lot OF twisting
and turning that we were able to keep
the propeller clear. Finally the grass
closed in so thick about us that every
few minutes we were obliged TO stop and
unwind the long strands from about the
propeller. After several such stops we
decided the best and quickest way was
to tow the boat until we got around the
worst of it. SO Johnson and the Junior
hitched ourselves to the towline, leaving
Hines in the boat to steer, and we flowed
the boat until the canal came again to its
normal width. AS il was getting late and
we were pretty tired we decided to tie
up and spend the night in the little town
of Big Pool. just eleven miles from Ham

The next morning, after hearty break

THE Two Sergeants," one of the
finest of the French military dramas
that are proving popular in the motion
picture world of America today, will
be the initial offering of "Blair's
Theater today, commencing with the
matinee and being reproduced twice
during the evening-at 1880 and 9:15.
A. Capossi, one of Europe's fore
most actors, essays the principal part
in this thrilling story of the life of
the French soldier, which is so ap-
propriate at the present time when
France and the several other Euro
pean nations are embroiled in war.
As Captain Derville, A. Capossi has
scored one Of the greatest successes
of his career on the stage. Before
consenting to appear in the silent
drama he had won the plaudits of
Europe's best audiences in the same
production. The story of "The Two
Sergeants" is one of love, hate and
revenge. Captain Derville reproyes a
slovenly soldier and the latter, to Sc
cure revenge, steals large amount
of funds for which Derville is held re-
sponsible., Derville, to escape dis
grace, disappears. In the mountains
he saves the life Of peasant War
