We Are To Have A Sewer.

We are gratifed 10 record the TACT that
Shepherdstown is TO have an additional
sewer line. Private property owners
raised a considerable sum OF money and
turned it over to the corporation authori-
ties. who have agreed TO construct the
new sewer, making up whatever addi-
tionaI funds may be required over and
above The amount subscribed. The sewer
will be connected with the main sewer
at Princess and High streets, constructed
several years ago by the State for the use
of Shepherd College. II will extend up
Princess street to Main street, thence
west on Main tor almost three blocks,
terminating opposite the residences OF
w. P. Lickllder and H. L. Snyder. Those
who have subscribed 10 the project are
to have free use of the sewer, while those
who may desire 10 tap it hereafter will
have 10 pay tapping charge and yearly
rental. A sewer has long been needed
in this section, and il will be public
benefit in that il will do away with a
number OF cesspoolS that contaminate the
surroundings. Mayor Martin has shown
much public spirit in the matter and will
superintend the construction ofthe sewer
The necessary pipe has already been
ordered, and il is hoped that the work
will be commenced within week or two.

Bible Society Meeting.

The one hundredth anniversary of the
founding of tfe American Bible Society
was observed here last Sunday evening,
when public meeting was held in the
Shepherd College auditorium under the
auspices of the Shephsrdstown branch Of
the Society. Hon. George M. Beltz-
hoover, who has been president OF the
local organization for 4S years, or ever
since it was formed, presided at the
meeting. The service was participated
in by the several ministers of the town.
Two addresses were delivered. The
first was well-prepared historical sketch
of the parent society by Rev. William
Rogers, of the M. E. Church, who gave
some interesting statistics Of the work
and made an eloquent plea for the carry
ing on OF the great and important business
of spreading the inspired Word through
out the world. The second speaker was
Rev. John S. Alfriend, of Zion Episcopal
Church, Charles Town, who made an
earnest and impressive address on the
value and necessity OF the Bible and the
personal application of its teachings TO
the lives OF the people. Mr.. Alfriend is
always welcome in ShepherdStown, and
our people were edited by his able SER
mon. A feature of the service was the
excellent singing by choir of our local
musicians. including a solo by Miss Will
liams, of the college faculty.
At the conclusion Of the addresses Mr..
Beltzhoover spoke OF the desirability CT
doing something Of practical nature to
show appreciation OF the work OF the
Society. and suggested that donation OF
a hundred dollars be raised as a centen-
NAL gift. Rev. Mr.. Rogers undertook TO
secure the subscriptions and made an
appeal which was responded to fairly
literally. The full amount was notraised,
but il is hoped that there will be addi-
tional subscriptions that will bring the
donation up TO hundred dollars.

Will Oil the Streets.

The dust nuisance has gotten 10 be
very Objectionable again, and we are
glad 10 note that il is TO be abated through
the cooperation OF property-owners and
our town officials. J. P. Rush has been
showing commendable public spirit in
the matter, and during the past week has
collected sufficient funds 10 insure 2
thoroughly good oiling Of Main street
from Duke to Princess, three blocks.
We have no doubt that property owners
along other streets will take similar action,
as they did last year, and that our streets
will be put in the same good order all over
town. The money has been collected
and the oil should be on hand by next
week. The corporate authorities will
have it applied to the streets at once.
The advent of the automobile and the
great increase of travel on our streets has
made oiIing necessity. Without it, the
clouds of dust that swirl in every direction
make enioymentof our porches impossible
and cause housekeepers TO groan over
the dirt that invades their homes. We
just cannot get along without oiled streets.
