The HotelTo Be Reopened.

We are glad to announce that the hotel
in Shepherdstown, which has been closed
for the past year for remodeling and re-
paiss, is to be reopened within a few
days. The owners, Messrs. E. H. Rein
hart and M. B. Raker, have leased it to
Mrs. Fonrose Shipley, who has taken
charge Of the building and is now clean
ing it up and making it ready for occu-
pancy. She expects to have it opened
for guests within the next week. Mrs.
Shipley, we feel sure, will prove a sue
cessful landIady. For several years past
she has conducted clearinghouse on
Washington street, which has been a
popular place and is highly spoken OF by
those who have patronized II. Good
cooking and comfortable surroundings
may be expected by the guests OF the
hotel.
For more than hundred years this
hostelry has been known as the Entler
Hotel, but its name is TO be changed to
the Hotel Rumsey-named for James
Rumsey, the inventor of the steamboat,
who hundred and thirty years ago first
propelled boat by steam on the Potomac
river at Shepherdstown. Ii is an appro-
pirate and significant name
During the past year the hotel building
has been greatly improved. II has been
remodeled and made much more COM
Portable in every respect. The building
has been repapered and painted, the lobby
and other parts of the hotel remodeled,
more bath rooms and toilet rooms added.
and the whole place gone over. A new
hot-water heating plant has been INSTALL
ed, and every part OF the hotel will be
comfortably heated. The hotel has never
been in as good condition as it is now,
and it is hoped that it may regain its old
time favor with the people of this COM
munity and the travelling public. Our
town has felt the disadvantage OF having
it closed for year, and we are glad that
it is to be reopened under such good
management.

personal NOTES.


Friends of Congressman Brown are
somewhat worried over the time he has
been compelled to spend in bed in his
hotel in Washington as the result of a
recent severe cold. They had hoped he
would be back at his work long before
now, but instead he is still in bed and
probably will not be up for several days,
although he is reported as improving and
not in dangerous condition at all. TIE
work of his office is being carried on by
his secretary, Foster Ziegler.
Mrs. Katherine Staley, one Of our old
est and most respected residents, who
lives couple of miles west of town,

the knob pulled off and she fell heavily
down couple of steps. She hurt one
of her hips very badly and she has since
been confined to her bed. Mrs. Staley
is "a years old and the accident is es-
pecially unfortunate to one of her ad-
vanced age.
We are glad to learn that Miss Eliza
Evans Johnson, of the Leetown neighbor-
hood, who was'reported i'll in Colorado,
is very much better. Indeed, the reports
of her illness seem to have been exag-
gerated. Her physician in Denver has
written to DR.. Lucas at Kearneysville to
the effect that Miss Johnson will proba-
bly, entirely recover if she takes treatment
in sanitarium, which is now being ar
ranged for.

backache, weak kidneys, bladder ills,
Doan's Kidney Pills offer hope of relief

town people recommend Doan'S, the
kidney remedy used in America for fifty
years. Why suffer !? Why run the risk
OF dangerous kidney ills-fatal Bright's
disease. Here's Shepherdstown proof.
Investigate it.

Accident at Bakerton.

Accident at bdkertOn.
A bad accident occurred yesterday
morning at the limestone quarries OF the
Washington Building Lime Company at
Bakerton, when Richard Brashears, OF
Sharpsburg, and John Hetzel, OF Antie-
tam, were painfully hurt. The two men
were operating steam drill, and had
been at work only about five minutes
when mass of rock fell upon them. Mr..
Brashears got the worst OF it, being
literally crushed under the avalanche,
which had probably become loosened
by the rain OF the night before. His
left leg was broken, his collarbone
fractured, and he had very bad cut on
his head, besides other bruises and con-
tuSions. Mr.. Hetzel was not so badly
hurt, his injuries consisting OF minor cuts
and bruises. Superintendent D. r. Hous-
er wanted the men 10 60 to the hospital
in Charles Town, but both preferred TO
be sent to their homes. They were made
as comfortable as possible and taken
home-Mr. Hetzel in buggy and Mr..
Brashears being carried on mattress in
a wagon. While the latter's injuries are
severe, it is hoped that he will recover.

For Cold Storage Plant.

Messrs. Gerard D. Moore and H. c.
Getzendanner, of Charles Town, owners
OF the manufacturing shops in this place,
were in Shepherdstown last Saturday
talking with fruit growers and other per-
sons in regard TO the establishment OF a
cold storage plant here. The buildings
known as the manufacturing shops, it is
said, can be converted into cold storage
plant at a reasonable cost, and being right
on the railroad, with a switch Into the
grounds, form very desirable location.
Shepherdstown ought to have such a
plant. There are between 400 and 500
acres of apple orchards, we are informed
within a radius of four or five miles OF
Shepherdstown, large proportion OF
which are now in full bearing condition,
and there is no cold storage within less
than ten miles. The necessity OF such
an enterprise seems apparent. Well
managed, it ought 10 prove profitable
investment, and it certainly should be a
boon to the fruit grower.
Under present conditions the grower is
not receiving as much as he ought for his
apples. Last fall the price in this section
was around two dollars barrel, bit the
consumer paid double or treble this
amount. If It had been possible to hold
our apples here in cold storage the grower
would have unquestionably gotten better
prices.
Last week John Gather, Of Frederick
county, Va. received returns from three
carloads of apples shipped to England.
For No. l Pippins he got $3.50 per barrel
net, after all expenses had been paid, and
for No. Pippins he received s6.4O per
/ barrel net. J. A. Nicodemus, fruit
grower of Washington county, Md, last
week shipped to Washington and New
York a lot of Pippins, Bens and Ganos,
for which he received as high as 81 bar
rel. These figures show the advantage
of being able to hold the fruit.
MesSrs. Getzendanner and Moore will
be in Shepherdstown again on March
18th, when they will endeavor to more
| fully interest our fruit growers in the pro-
posed enterprise.

MIR. BryarIy's Misfortune.

Thomas M. BryaIly, who lives couple
of miles east OF Shepherdstown, met
with painful mishap last Saturday after
noon by accidentally shooting himself.
He was crossing Rattlesnake run on a
log, holding on to the floodgate with one
hand and carrying shotgun in the other,
when he dropped the gun. AS it fell the
hammer struck board or the log. dis
charging the weapon, and the charge tore
through Mr.. Bryarly's hand between the
thumb and forefinger, making a serious
and painful wound. He took time to
fish the gun out of the creek and then
made his way to the house, bleeding
frightfully from the lacerated hand. None
of the neighbors were at home and there
was no one to send for physician until
late in the evening, when DR.. Myers was
called and dressed the injury. Mr.. Bry-
arly is now getting along as well as could
be expected.

One of the most satisfactory sales made
in this section the present year was that
by ThoS. o. Everhart last Friday near
KearneySville. The receipts footed up
something over 81, 400. Mr.. Everhart
received the highest price we have yet
heard of as being brought by farm horse
in this vicinity, one OF his mares selling
at 1895. another at $3.50, and other horses
at lesser prices. The horses sold at an
average of $3.50. His cows sold very
well, also, the highest bringing 500 and
the average of all that he sold being
$3.50. Mr.. Everhart's sale demonstrates
once more that it pays to raise good stock
and advertise we'll in the Register. Dodd
& Hoffman were the auctioneerS. Mr..
Eyerhart will move to the Wiltshire farm,
now owned by Col. r. P. Chew, and
will be superintendent OF the Highland
Orchard Company'S fruit farms. Carl
Fleming will take the farm he vacates
and continue the dairy business there.

ness also. II is his intention to move

In Remembrance.

In sad but loving remembrance of ouI
dear uncle, Thomas L. Fowler. who de-
parted this life March 7, 1914.
Weep not for the departed. loved ones,
God chose one from all the rest;
Christ saw and knew that one was needed
So He chose from you the best.
God sent down His death angel,
And made him His blessed choice;
So now he has gone TO be with Jesus,
Up in heaven TO rejoice.
Thou hast loved US long and well,
How we miss thee none can tell;
We must say our last farewell,
Till we meet beyond the river,
Happy there with thee 10 dwell.
