PERSONAL NOTES.

A number of Shepherdstown folks left
this morning for Atlantic City by way Of
the B. so. Railroad ard viii spend ten
days or two weeks at that popular sea-
side resort. Those who are in the party
are Mrs. Florence Shepherd and her
grandson, Jimmie BilImyer. Mrs. Bette
Rentch, Miss Annie Licklider, Mrs. FL
eanor Byers, Mrs. Chas. ]. Miller and
| Mrs. T. H. Davis. We trust that our
| Shepherdstown friends will keep sharp
lookout for that shark which is ravaging
the Jersey coast. We suggest that they
follow the example Of the famous Mrs.
Lex and Mrs. Aleshine and wear black
hose when they go in bathing-and it
wouldn't hurt to have bells on their toes
and alarm clocks instead Of the ordinary
clocks on their stockings. We sincerely
hope that all of the party may come back
home safely, with as many limbs as when
they started out.
