Woodrow Wilson Gets Into Trouble.
Little Woodrow Wilson VanMetre, the
two-year-old son OF Mr.. aud Mrs. Fred
VanMetre, and grandson OF Postmaster
VIM. L. Remnant, had very narrow eS-
cape from death last Sunday. The little
boy, who is unusually bright and ener-
getic, had been taken by his parents for
visit to the family OF Charles Miller near
Kearneysville. He went on an explor-
ing expedition on his own hook, and in
the garden found some arsenate OF lead
in can, which had been used for spray
ing. BY some means he managed to
swallow enough OF the fluid 10 make him
deathly sick, and If was feared for time
that he would die. DR.. Lucas, OF Kear-
neysville, and DR.. Burwell, OF Shepherds
town, were summoned, and they used
heroic efforts TO counteract the effects OF
the poison. The child was relieved. and
now seems to show little trace Of the or
deal through which it passed.

Gone To San Francisco.

Miss Louise Welshans left the first OF
the week for San Francisco, California,
where she expects to make her future
home, and concerning which further an
nouncement will probably be made in a
few weeks. Miss WelShans will BE-
greatly missed in Shepherdstown, where
she has been one of our most popular and
highly regarded girls. AS alright young
teacher in the graded school she was un-
usually useful, and as organist and soloist
of the Reformed Church she occupied
acceptably a position of service which
may not be easily filled. Accomplished
and agreeable. and always ready for her
part in the social and intellectual activi-
ties of Our town life, her departure is
generally regretted. We join with her
many friends in the sincere hope that she
may find a congenial and happy home in
the Golden West.

Morgan,s Grove Fair.

The Morgan's Grove fair began Tues
day under very favorable circumstances.
The weather was delightful, in marked
contrast to the rainy days of last week,
and the beautiful grounds were never
more comfortable and inviting. The
exhibits were up to their usual standard,
the several departments being well rep
resented by the best specimens. The
tent reservations were greater than ever
before, showing that the social features
of the fair lose none of their attrsctivenesS
for our people. Everybody seems to
enjoy the opportunity TO camp out for a
few days in this charming spot, where
they are sure TO see almost everybody
they know in this part OF the country.
The agricultural department shows a
better class OF exhibits than we have ev-
err before seen. The fruits are particu-
larly numerous and overflow accommoda-
tons had TO be provided for the apples.
The exhibit of grapes is extremely tempt
ing. There is fine display OF vegeta-
bleS OF every sort, and the grains and
other farm products are also above the
average. A stalk of corn II ID feet
high, exhibited by 9. H. Myers, Shows

number OF years and are as popular as
ever.
A game of baseball was played at the
fair grounds on Tuesday between the
Shepherdstown boys and the Martinsburg
