Brought Barroom Back.

The recent arrests in Shepherdstown
OF men bringing liquor into West Virginia
has had a mighty good effect on our
neighbor Charles Town. The authorities
Of that town have for the past few weeks
been trying to come u 70 our record in
finding violators OF the liquor laws of the
State, and have been carefully watching
several suspects. Last Friday night their
wstchfulness was rewarded. About
eight o'clock in the evening two OF the
men under suspicion, both colored, were
seen leaving Charles Town with horse
and buggy headed toward Sharpsburg.
Several hours passed and still there was
no sign of their return. But still the Of
ficers, four in number, waited. AT two
O'Clock the patience of the officers was
rewarded, for the two men, Charles
Snowden and Frank Patterson, drove
into town and stopped at Snowden's
house, where they began to carry part
OF their load into The house. While the
men were in the house the police made
hasty investigation OF the contents o.
the buggy and found that there was con-
siderablY more liquor than the laws al
lowance, and when Snowden and Pat
terson came out they were arrested.
Seventy-iive quarts of whiskey and
forty bottles OF beer were found IN the
possession OF the two men, and having
been caught with the goods, they were
placed in Jail. On Saturday Justice Sheeetz
set their trial for today. Snowden fur
nished bail and was released, but Patter-
son was sent back 10 jail to await trial.
Not satisfied with having made such
good haul, the officers then went TO the
Norfolk G Western station TO wait for No.
2, having heard that there might be some
thing doing there. When the train pulled
in one colored passenger alighted and the
train went on. The bulky suitcase The
man carried was too plain to be mistaken
and he was arrested. He gave his name
as John Porter. Six quarts OF liquor were
found on him and in few minutes he
was safely lodged in the county jail. He
is TO be tried today.
The Charles Town officers are 10 be
highly commended for their vigilance and
patience, and their efforts along these
lines will do much toward the stepping
OF the violators OF The law. Already there
is a noticeable decrease in the travel OF
booze wagons through ShepherdStown to
Sharpsburg, and few more arrests will
almost entirely stop this particular indus
try. We hope that the authorities OF both
communities will not slacken their watch
fulnesS.

The Death Record.

The Death Record.
II is with regret that we announce the
death OF Mss Naomi Garrett, which oc-
Cured at Sanitorium, Md, on Sunday.
Miss Garrett, whose home was in
Rockville, Nd, was wel-known in Shop
herdstown, having attended Shepherd
College several years ago and having
graduated in 1912 She was an unusual
ly bright and attractive girl and her many
friends here regret deeply her death.
For three years she taught in the public
school at Bedington, and for the past
two years had lived in MartinSburg.
Miss Garrett, who was twenty four years
old, is survived by three brothers The
funeral was held at her home in Rock
vile Tuesday, and the body was laid TO
rest in that place.
George w. Riner, prominent merchant
OF FunkstoWn, died in hospital in Hag-
erStown on Tuesday, as a result OF an
automobile accident on Monday. He
was driving a horse which SHE'D and
threw him in front OF an approaching auto
mobile, the Car striking him and fracturing
his skull. He was a native OF Berkeley
county.
Earl Barney, aged Is, well-known
young farmer OF Berkeley county, died in
the City Hospital, Martirsburg, following
an operation for appendicitis.
Mrs. Ruth Irwin, widow OF James F.
Irwin, died at her home in Martinsburg
last Friday, aged SO years.

Changes OF Schedule.

Important changes have been made in
the passenger schedule Of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad, effective last Sunday.
Train No. q, known as "The West Viz
ginian," has been withdrawn. No /,
the New York TO ST. Louis express, which
has been popular train, especially from
Baltimore TO points in this State, runs
about an hour and a-half later than its
present schedule. Instead OF leaving
Baltimore at 3 p. m, as heretofore, it
leaves that city at LAO p. m, and will
not stop at Shenandoah JUNCTION. This
change will be a considerable disadvan-
tage to thu large number OF passengers
who use il as a connection at Shenandoah
Junction for points south on the Norfolk
& Western Railway. No. SO, the Cumber-
land special, will be made an hour later,
and passengers from Baltimore and Wash
ington for points on the N. & W.will
have to use this inferior train. No. 2,
east-bound, will not stop at Shenandoah
Junction, either, and No. 90, the local. from
Cumberland, will carry passengers from
N. & w. points. The new schedule will
be very unsatisfactory TO our people.
The only change in schedule TO affect
Shepherdstown on the Norfolk and West
ern is that No. %, which formerly arrived
here at 1920 a. m, now arrives at 9.35,
fory-five minutes earlier. This train
now makes connection with the B. q o.
No. 60 at Shenandoah Junction. The
earlier arrival of this train makes for less
efficiency in the postoffice, as the mail
or No. Is has to be made up while the
mail from No. l3, which arrives al 8 80, is
being distributed.

Community Clubs Meet.

The Snepherdstown Community Club
held an interesting and wellsitended
meeting last Friday afternoon in the
domestic scieuce room at Shepherd Col
lege, and proved to deserve its name, for
the meeting developed into lively and
instructive open discussion of the line
points Of canning and preserving. The
members brought their views with them
and expressed them with cIearness and
force. Miss linn was seen on several
occasions TO be taking notes for future
experiments at Morgantown. Altogether
our community spoke for itself in no I'M
certain voice. II is 10 be hoped that this
lively interest will continue, and that
larger and constantly increasing member
ship will pour more and more light on the
work that we have before us, 10 help
West Virginia TO feed herself" Miss
Zlnn gave demonstration OF preserving,
and talk on the government canning
string beans. Miss Alger spoke briefly
OF her hopes for the future in Jefferson
county. The Community Club will hold
its next meeting week from Friday.
The Civic League OF Charles Town held
a meeting last Wednesday afternoon 10
welcome Miss Zinn and Miss Alger. CT
the Home Economics Extension Depart
ment Of the State University. The meet
ing was addressed by both OF these ladies
and also by MIR. Alexander, and the result
OF the impression made was the appoint
ment by the president, Miss Kate Riddle,
OF committee to obtain contributions TO-
ward Miss Ayers work while she is in
the county. With characteristic ambition,
Charles Town, stimulated by the Civic
League, will attempt 10 provide means
of rapid transit for Miss Alger. As we
must not appear 10 be advertising any
particular make of car, we will not men
ton the method OF transportation that was
suggested.
On Thursday OF last week the president
OF the Shepherdstown Community Club,
Mrs. E. S. Jarrett, paid visit, by invi-
tatlon, to the Harper's Ferry Woman'S
Club. Miss Eleanor Potts. Prof. 'Thos.
c. Miller and Prof. J. d. Muldoon were
also OF the party. The two men were
called upon 10 speak on the Jefferson
county campaign for home economics,
and both made interesting addresses, and
Mrs. Jarrett gave report OF the fine
work already done for the cause in the
Shepherdstown district. The Harper's
Ferry club, which is not 10 be outdone
in generosity and public spirit by any
organization in West Virginia, voted to
give financial support 10 The movement,
and will shortly send IFS check toward
Miss Ayers work in the county. The
meeting closed with the presentation OF
dainty hand-painted calendars 10 the
visitors as souvenirs. The well-appoint-
ed club-room OF these progressive women
| of Harper'S Ferry, who were pioneers in
the field OF home economics study in the
county, would in itself amply repay a
visit. Itsadmirable equipmentofutensils,
china and silverware would inspire envy
and we hope emulatlon-in any club
womans heart. May there soon be
many limitations OF Mrs. Lynch and her
co-workers.

The annual alumni business meeting

nounced that the class OF 1917 had pur-
chased allberty bond for 500, TO increase
this fund, and that the faculty of Shepherd
College had also purchased bond Tor

At the banquet, which was held in the
domestic science hall, various toasts were
respondedto. w. J. Knott, '79, proposed

Association who should be sent TO France.
Mrs. Louise Anna Snyder Lynch gave a
detailed and interesting history OF the
class of 1904. Feaster Woford responded
for the class of 1917, with very interesting
remarks. Curtis Feeser, '97. spoke on
"Retrospections," and Professor Miller
spoke in his usual earnest and forcefu
manner on "The Shepherd College OF the
Future" Mrs. Robert Gibson read a
