Morgan'S Grove Fair.


A special meeting of the stockholders
OF the Morgan'S Grove Fair Association
will be held in Shepherdstown on Satur-
day of this week, when a new board OF
directors will be elected. 1t will be re-
called that at the regular meeting on the
third OF January an almost entirely new
board was chosen, out there was such
lack OF harmony that the new board failed
to organize, being unable to muster a
quorum. The president has called Spe-
cial meeting for the coming Saturday, and
at this time if is expected an entirely new
board will be chosen. For many years
the stockholders have been so content
with the management of the fair that they
took but little interest in the election OF
directors, being satisfied TO re-elect the
old officers with but few changes. AT
the recent meeting, however, by the use
OF proxies, radical changes were made,
and these seem not TO meet with approval
ofthe stockholders. There will probably
be large attendance at the meeting on
Saturday, as all OF the stockholders seem
to be deeply interested, 1t is said that
the cirectors who were elected in jan
uary, and who have not been able to or
ganize, have employed Geo. M. Beltz-
hoover, Jr, as their attorney, and that
he will take legal proceedings in their
behalf. 1t is rumored that an injunction
may be applied for to prevent the cleo
ton on Saturday.

PECULIAR AFTER EFFECTS OF

ton.

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic OF grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in run

heals and strengthens the kidneys after
an attack of grip. Swamp Root is
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
and, being an herbal compound, has a

by Daniel w. Snyder, was entirely de-
stroyed, together with much other valu-
able property. The fire was discovered

the building was wrapped in flames, so
that If was impossible TO liberate the live
stock or remove the farming implements.
Eight horses and two calves were burn
ed TO death, and farming implements,
harness, straw, fodder, ETC., were de-
stroyed. Mr.. Snyder's loss is about g.

for the past year or two. 1t is said that
wealthy railroad contractor who lives
in one OF The towns TO be touched by the

more last week on business in connection
with the work, and il is understood that
other contractors have expressed a de-
sire to bid for portions of the construc-
ton.
The syndicate, which is known as the
Shenandoah Valley Railway Company,
and which has It's main office in Martins
burg, has as yet to definitely determine
which route to use in order to run a spur
into Washington. One route which was
surveyed year or E1ore ago extends
eastward from Winchester through Berry
vile and thence to Bluemont, the south
ern terminal OF the Washington and Old
Dominion Electric Railway Company,
and the other is planned to 60 by way OF
Martlnsburg to Shepherdstown and Har-
per's Ferry, thence through portions OF
Frederick and Montgomery counties,
Maryland, entering the District OF Co.
lumbia on the north. One ofthese routes
is to be settled upon, it is stated, at an

Real Estate Sold.

Real Estate SOlQ.
Geo. Nj. Beltzhoover and Charles E.
Williams, Special Commissioners, last
Saturday offered at public sale in Shep-
herdstown two farms belonging to the
heirs OF David Billmyer-"Shadyside. +"
southwest of town, and the Reynolds"
farm, east OF town. Both farms were Of
tered in subdivisions and then as a
whole. The Reynolds" farm was not
sold, being withdrawn because the bids
were not satisfactory. "Shadyside" was
purchased by David Lemen, OF this place
at ST. per acre, or SIS, 400 for the whole
tract. This is an excellent farm, and the
price paid is not regarded as high, con-
sidering the way land has been selling.
Mr.. Lemen bought it as an investment,
and also had a bit of sentiment in con-
nection with it. as it belonged for many
years to his grandfather, WIlloughby
Newton Lemen, and was also the birth
place of his father, the late W.N Lemen.
This farm is tenanted at present by r. V.
Mcdonald, who has been on it for sew
eral years.

Father Gives Skin to Save His Child.


The Baltimore American of a few days
ago tells the story of a fathers sacrifice
of his own skin 10 save the life or at least
prevent his seven-y ear-old son from be-
coming hopeless cripple for the remain
der of his years, and how Vaughn Legar,
sos Randall street, Baltimore, enthusi-
astically submitted to the grating OF IL
square inches of his own skin on to the
body of his little son, Vaughn Legar, Jr.,
who was horribly burned while playing
with bonfire near his home some weeks
ago. The boy is now on the rapid road
to complete recovery and it is expected
that he will be able to leave the hospital
within a few days.
Young Legar, together with a large
number of his companions, were pranc-
ing gleefully around huge bonfire. In
some manner the boys clothing came in
contact with the flames ana he was soon
enveloped. The flames, which were fast
consuming his knickerbockers, were ex-
tinguished by several citizens and the
boy was tenderly carried to the home OF
his parents. Suffering excruciating pain,
the little fellow was made as comfortable
as possible and DR.. Maurice Jones, the
family physician, was harriedly summon
ed. He advised that the boy be taken
to hospital and on January q young
Legar was taken TO Franklin Square Hos
pital. At the hospital DR.. Jones decided
that the only means TO prevent the lad
becoming a cripple tor life was to grant
skin. Ii was then that DR.. Jones notified
Mr.. Legar that skin grating was sbso-
lutely necessary in the case OF his boy.
and the father willingly gave up the
amount of cuticle necessary to make a
successful operation.
The little boy is grandson OF Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. F. Legar, of Shepherdstown, and
Mrs. Legar has been with her sons fam
lily in Baltimore the past week.

warning.
IF you're here tonight and have
a desire to be Christian, that's an
evidence that God hasn't left YOU" he
said, and again eff you have the de-
sire encourage tit may be your
last
Many who have heard the evangelist
night after night in his prayer, say
Go through the aisles, Holy Spirit,
and speak to these men and women"
and have puzzled over the expression,
after this sermon understood by Sun
days Interpretation of "The Unpar-
donable SIM just what he meant by
his plea. AS Sunday, in praying,
seems to be just carrying on an ear
nest talk with God and with the Son
Of God SO he has dealt with that
which makes up the Trinity, the Holy
Ghost
During the after service, when the
converts were coming forward, Cor
poration Counsel H. w. Byers of this
city made his public declaration of
Christianity to the evangelist and i'm
mediately began to plead with his
friends about him to make the same
acknowledgement Most of the three
hundred and fifty who came forward
were well dressed and keen looking
people.
