the matter OF abrogating the route from

that this will not be done until the West
ern Maryland can guarantee TO run its

J. M. Rush started out few days ago
to raise money to oil the three principal
squares OF Main street, and in a short
time he had sufficient amount in hand,
as almost everybody is willing to pay to
alleviate the dust nuisance. Other per-
sons are collecting money for oiling sew
eral additional streets, and it is hoped
that oil may be used in every part Of
town. The oil will be applied as soon
as it can be secured, which we trust will
be without delay, as the dust is extremely
disagreeable.
The suit of w. E. Hofiheins against the
MartinSburg World Company Gray Silver,
Stuart w. Walker and other stockholders
in the company, in which suit Mr.. Hoff-
helms asked the court TO appoint re-
ceiver, has been settled out of court and
dropped. In speaking of the case Mr..
HoifheinS stated that everything for which
he was contending had been granted, in
Guiding the return TO him of two notes
and s. 800 worth OF stock which he claim
ed had been wrongfully withheld. On
the other hand, the World people say
that Hr. HoffheinS got nothing but what
he could have secured at any time with
out a suit.
The Jefferson Lunch Room, OF which
Robert 5hipley is proprietor, has just in
stalled an up-to-dat plant for the man
uiscgure of icecream and ices. 1t runs
0y electricity and has a capacity of sixty
gallons an hour. II is thoroughly SAM
tary, as the cream can be put in the
ircezer and the frozen product removed
without removing the lid OF the freezer
or stopping the machinery. Mr. Shipley
has gotten the recipes OF F. L. Johnson.
OF the former Home Cafe, which were so
popular, and he promises TO make ice
cream Of the very best sort. He sells at
wholesale aud retail and serves it also at
his restaurant. Give him trial order
John Lamb, ShepherdStown'S we'll
known bliHd man, was unable TO get to
the Lutheran Sunday school last Sunday
because of sickness, and missed attend
ing the school for the first time since he
started in . years, four months and two
weeks ago. Counting up these years at
81 Sundays 10 a year, and allowing for
five extra Sundays for leap year, Mr..
Lamb has been 10 Sunday school 1920
times without missing once. This is a
very wonderful record, and we doubt if
it has an equal in this section OF the
country. Mr.. Lamb has been suffering
good deal from the swelling on his face
his friends hope that he may soon find
relief
Armistead S. Lucas, OF Shepherdstown,
has been making a lively campaign the
past week for the nomination for clerk
of the Circuit Court Of Jefferson county.
He made up his mind only week ago
to get into the fight, but he has been as
busy as a mailer ever since and has every
hope that he will win over Mr.. Conrad,
who was first to be announced for this
office. Mr.. Lucas is one OF Shepherds
towns best young men, good Demo-
crat, OF unimpeachable character and
habits, and if he should be elected will
fill the office with ability. He is highly
ae+eapad here and will OCT a tremendous
