H. SCHOOLING
Ladies Tailor and Importer-Ready-
to-Wear Garments

Every lady should have, at least one
tailor-made suit in her wardrobe and
the more of them she has the better she
', i'll be dressed. There is no other class
of clothing SO smart, SO chic and SO
stylish as custom tailormade suit, hit
ting perfectly, and made from imported
goods They have an individuality pos
sessed by no other style of garment, and
stamp woman as well-dressed. Until
last March the ladies of this section were
compelled to go to New York, Philadel-
phia or Baltimore for their tailormade
garments, but this is true no longer, nor
has it been since Mr.. H. Schoolnic opened
his attractive and splendidly stocked store
on West Washington street. Mr.. School
mic is one of the most expert ladies' tail
ors in the country, and the garments
made by him will compare most favorably
with those turned out by the most cele-
brated ladies' tailors of London and New
York, where he learned his trade He
is direct importer of suitings and has
on hand all the latest fabrics from the
centers of fashion. He also carries
select stock of tailor made ready-to-wear
garments, all made in the latest style
and many can be admirably fitted from
these Mr.. Schoolnic, who was formerly
in business in Baltimore, has been most
successful during the short time that has
elapsed since opening his place in this
city, and has, as his patrons, not only the
best dressed ladies and misses of Charles
Town but of this entire section. Mr..
schoolnic is a member of Eureka Lodge
L., o. o. F., of Baltimore.

thing necessary, casket, robes, hearse, car

reasonable. Mr.. N. S. J. Strider, the
senior member is a graduate of the. Phila-
delphia Training School of embalming,
and was formerly a member of the firm
of Strider & Ramey, undertakes and deal
ers in furniture. His son is a graduate
from the same place and both have passed
By the State Board. This old firm was
dissolved about six years ago, and Mr..
Strider continued the undertaking branch
at the old stand, afterwards taking his
son, Mr.. Melvin T. Strider, into partner
ship. Both gentlemen are always ready
and willing to lend helping hand to
any cause that is for the welfare of old
Charles Town, their home.

buggy and carriage. How greatly they
were mistaken is shown by the fact that
more vehicles are being sold today than
ever before, in the history of the trade,
and the demand every year becomes more
insistent. The only effect the automobile
has had upon the manufacture of We
hicles has been most beneficial one,
for makers have been spurred to greater
effort by the fear of loss Of custom,
and the buggies, carriages, surries wag-
ons in fact, all vehicles turned out by
high class makers at the present time are
far superior to any ever before seen
on the market. The leading dealer in
wagons, carriages, buggies and horse
and stable supplies in Charles Town is
Mr. Melvin T. Strider, whose sales rooms
and warehouse are located in the rear
of 107 West Washington street. Although
Mr.. Strider has only been in the bust
ness few years he has won a place
in the front rank by strict attention to
business, and the fact that he handles
goods of the first class only. Every
owner of horses and vehicles is aware
that there is no economy in buying cheap
rolling stock, it is the costliest in the
end, and can never be depended upon.
MIR. Strider deals only in standard goods,
goods that have stood the test of time,
and have made lasting reputation. He
carries such sterling vehicles as the wag
ons and carriages made by Studebaker,
the buggies of Hess of Hagerstown, and
the famous vehicles of Babcock made in
New York State and sold throughout

.cient and capable Sheriff, who has long
ago demonstrated TO the voters that they
made no mistake whenHt they elected him
to the important Office he fills In GER
tain particulars the position of sheriff is
the most important under the county gov
-ernment,s some of the duties connected
with it carry with them the gravest re-
responsibility, and the character of the
man who is called upon to perform them
should be of the highest calibre. The
people of Jefferson may count themselves
fortunate in having such a man as Mr..
Gardner to hold the Office, for, being
business man himself he gives them
strictly business administration Sheriff
Gardneris native of Jefferson county,
and lives at Shepherdstown. He is, how
ever, at the court house nearly every day
looking after his duties unless they are
such as to call him to some other part
of his Jurisdiction. Mr.. Gardner is one
of our liberal, wide awake and public
spirited men, and of that character. that
helps make their town progress and grow.

PARISH PRIEST REAL HERO OF The OHIO STRIKE

Wheeling hospital threw open its doors

the leasing of coal lands, agreeing to give
the owner certain percentage of the
products. From these pigeon hole mines
