1t is The Jefferson, of which Mr.. A. S.
Allen is the popular and enterprising
proprietor. Mr.. Allen has determined to
give automobile owners in this section
as well as the travelling public a serv-
ice OF the very highest class, and he has
spared no pains to accomplish this re-
suit. His repair department is in charge
OF the most expert and experienced
mechanicians, and there is no work so
delicate, or intricate that they are not
prepared to undertake and carry to a
successful finish. A full line of tires
and other accessories is carried, and
nothing has been left undone or neg
lected that would go toward making The
Jefferson Garage an establishment that
would be a distinct credit to any city
many times the size of Charles Town.
Fronting 80 feet on Liberty street the
building extends back distance of 127
feet, and is supplied with every convent
ence. The business was established by
Mr.. Allen May 20, 1911, and since then
he has mace many improvements to
the plant. He handles the Ford" car
exclusively at the present time, and has
done his part in making it the favorite
machine in this section as it is all over
the country. Mr.. Allen is native of
Jefferson county, but most of his life has
been spent here in Charles Town where
for 20 years he was agent of the B..
s O Railroad Company and has re-
signed to give his whole attention to his
Virginia free press. (Charlestown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1832-1916, 1915-01-07

West Washington street. Mr.. Burns
has been in business here for many years
and has an immense trade which ex-
tends throughout radius Of many miles
in Jefferson, Berkeley and Clarke coun-
ties, where he has a wide circle of
friends. Fronting IS feet on the main
thoroughfare of the city, the building oc-
cupied by him on Washington street ex-
tends back distance of 100 feet and
all three floors are occupied as is also
the basement Two large warehouses de-
voted to the grain and feed branch of
the business are located on Samuel
street near the Baltimore & Ohio freight
depot. Mr.. Burns is the sole agent for
the Oliver Chilled Plow in this terri
tory, acknowledged to be the best pillow
for this locality, and also handles the
Thomas" and Empire" grain drills,
which have no superior on any market.
When you sow your wheat you should
have one of these drills as they distribute
the grain, grass seed and fertilizer even
ly. He also handles the world famous
Deering binders. A full line of Clod
Crushers, Syracuse" and "Deering'
spring-tooth and wood frame smoothing
harrows, ice-saving refrigerators, 'Ma-
jestic" and Laurel" ranges and cook
stoves, and heating stoves are carried.

individual help, that are needed for girls
of the immature age, and insufficient
preparation that often attend such schools.
Stephenson Seminary is large enough to
have whatever real benefit there is in
numbers and yet not so large as to
throw upon inexperienced young people
the responsibility, without guidance and
control, of their own conduct and train
ing amid, as often happens, unfavorable
influences of companionship and other
surroundings. The school is divided into
three departments Primary, Intermedi-
ate and Senior. Each department is
sub-divided into as many classes as may
be found desirable. All the members of
the same class will, as far as practica-
Bile, pursue the same studies. In form
ing classes, care will be exercised to have
no pupils unduly advanced or kept back.
The number of studies pursued by each
class is limited. Besides the exercises of
spelling writing, reading, and English
composition, to which the whole school
will give more or less attention, it is
not thought advisable for any pupil to
have more than four, or, at most, five
studies. Some variety is needed, but
thoroughness and depth ought not to be
sacrificed to secure it, as will be done
if the number of studies is unduly in
creased, Since the death of Rev. DR..
Campbell, a dozen years ago, the Semi
nary has been most ably conducted BY
Mrs c. N Campbell, his widow, assisted
by a corps of trained teachers. The
faculty consists of: Mrs. C. N. Camp
bell, principal; Miss Laura w. Camp
bell, A. B, co-principal, science. mathe-
mates and French; Miss Helen Mar
tin, A, b. English and German; Miss
Janet Young history. elocutiOn, gym

equipment is of the best, the grain ele-
vator with a capacity of 5000 bushels
is the only one of the kind in the city, and
only the highest grade of everything is
carried, while the prices are most reason
able. The yards have frontage of
about 100 feet and extend along the rail
way tracks about 800 feet. The business
now so successfully conducted by William
E. Reed & Son was established over 80
sears ago, and was for number of
years conducted under the name of Reed,
Long & Manning. About eleven years
ago the present firm became successors.
Mr.. William E. Reed, the senior part
tner was one of the founders of the BUSH
ness, and is native of Frederick coun-
ty although he has for most of his life
been actively identified with the business
and social life of this community. Mr..
L. B. Reed, the junior partner, was raised
in Clarke county and is a graduate of
VOLTS Business College at Hagerstown.
The firm members are noted as public
spirited men who are always ready to
help along any cause that is for Charles
Towns good.

Charles Town and Ransom. All the prin-
cipal streets of the twin corporations are
piped, the price charged is reasonable,
and the service excellent The Charles
Town Gas Company is subsidiary of
the Martinsburg and Charles Town
West Virginia Gas Company, the local
manager being Mr.. Carl Riddleberger,
who since he came few months ago to
make this his home, has made wide
circle of friends by his courtesy and de-
termination to give the people of this
community the best possible service. Mr..
Riddleberger is native of Berkeley
county and came here from Martins
burg. He is of the live and progressive
type of men, and one of the business
men here who is ever ready to do his
part towards helping along any propo-
sition that is for the city's good.

rapidly becoming a nation of spectacle
wearers, and some of the most eminent
optometrists put much of the blame for
this upon the glare made by electric
lights. The continued popularity of gas
is also due to the fact that many new
uses have been found for it besides light
ing, and, today, on account of improved
methods of manufacture it is the cheap
est fuel on the market as we'll as the
cleanest and most sanitary. "COOK
WITH GAS" is today the slogan in
scores of the most intelligently managed
households in Charles Town and Ran
son and consequently the consumption
of gas is constantly increasing. Every
modern housewife cannot but appreciate
the utility of the gas stove, both for
cooking and heating purposes. All she
has to do is to prepare her food, set the
utensils on the range, turn valve, and
a. large part of the work of preparing
meal is completed. No coal or wood to
carry, no dirt, no smoke, no ashes. Then
again any room in the house may be
comfortably. heated in few minutes
on the coolest day, the gas can be turned
off when not needed, and the cost is
only few cents. The expense of equip
ping house with gas range for cook
ing and with heating stoves is incon-
siderable; the convenience and saving
of labor inestimable. No city in the couE
Try of its size has better service and
