Another Move By Fair Stockholders.

Nearly 200 residents Of Berkeley and
Jefferson counties and adjacent sections
who are stockholders in the Eastern
Panhandle Fair Company of Martins
burg, last week instituted suit in the
Berkeley Circuit Court to dissolve the
company, sell its property and pay its
debts, and secured from Judge John M.
Woods an order to restrain the re-
ceivers of the fair company, Attorneys
H. H. Emmert and A. 6. McIntre, from
bringing further action against stock
holders to enforce the deferred pay
ments on stock purchased by them.
This suit will come up at the Septem-
Der term of court, and will be of inter-
est 10 about 600 stockholders.
The company was organized several
years ago, and about 100000 in stock
was sold broadcast in Berkeley and ad-
joining counties. Fifty acres Of fine
land belonging TO John w. Stewart was
purchased, several buildings were erect
ed, half-mile race track graded, but
no exhibition was ever given, as the
company got in financial difficulties,
and the court appointed receivers.
When it became apparent that the
project was failure, most of the stock
folders refused to pay the balance due
On their subscriptions to the stock, and
attorneys brought suit TO compel pay
ment in full. The lower court ruled
that the stockholders should pay in full
Tor the stock subscribed, but appeals
were taken and the matter is now in the
State Supreme Court of Appeals. If the
present suit for dissolution shall be
won, the stockholders will be relieved
Of their obligations.

Unusually Hot Weather.

The hottest spell of weather that this
section has known for many years has
prevailed this week. Beginning on Mon
day, the sun shone each day from q
cloudless sky with fervid brilliancy
that was absolutely untempered the
whole day long. What few breezes did
bestir themselves came from the south
and gave no relief. Even the nights
were intensely hot, and folks who went
TO bed in a sweat arose next morning
in a perspiration. The thermometer
during the day hung around the hun
dred mark, and at times got up to l04
in the shade, being 102 for hours at
time.
The intensely hot weather has been
general east of the Rocky mountains,
and is peculiar because OF its dryness,
practically no rain having fallen east
of the Mississippi river Reports from
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg and other cities say that the
thermometer was higher than at any
time since the weather bureau began
to keep records. In Philadelphia the
temperature was up to 1882. Because
of the absence of humidity the NOR
tdIity mas NOT DeSH as great as might
be eX pected, but in the cities it became
necessary to shut down some of the
factories.
Yesterday evening conditions were
alleviated by a storm that came from
the west about o'clock, bringing with
ii some cooler breezes and refreshing
showers of rain that were greatly need
ed. We didn't get the heaviest part of
the storm. A few miles south Of US
there was tremendous rain and fierce
lightning and thunder, while in Wash
ington county, Md, to the north there
were heavy rains and hail, too.

Hypo-Cod Puts the Old
time Pep" in His Veins
Knocked Pains Out of His Shoulder
and Arm, Helped His Blood and
Sleep.
SLEEP Is RESTFUL NOW.
RHEUMATISM HAS GONE.

Charley Kemp, Constable, says Hypo-
Cod is the best medicine for rheuma
tism and that general rundown feel
ing he ever heard about. Everybody
knows this gentleman, who also has
charge OF the Centre School, Wheeling,
as Jantor.
Mr.. Kemp is not young, nor is he
very old, as old age goes, but is just
now at about the age when the system
needs a helpful tonic and blood med-
cine, and here is what he says, as thou
sands Of others have said before him:
"My rheumatism was bad in my
shoulder and elbow and | had one OF
Wheeling's best doctors treating me
for two solid months, but he didn't
seem able to do me any good, so took
Hypo-Cod, and | wish | had started on
Hypo-Cod first"
81 was rundown, too, those days,
and would wake up OF a morning feel
ing all tagged out and worse possibly
than when went to bed. just felt
like doing nothing, but friend OF mine,
who had taken four bottles OF Hypo-
Cod, was bubbling over with enthusi-
asm about it, and claimed il had built
him up and made him feel like new
man, and | says to myself, Maybe
there is something in what he says"
and sure enough, before had finished
the second bottle, was feeling great
took il according TO directions and my
rheumatism left me entirely, and I'm
feeling so much more lively and full Of
pep, can't help but believe Hypo-Cod
answers the question, when somebody
wants a good tonic and rheumatism
remedy"
Hypo-Cod contains extractives from
fresh cod livers, malt, iron, sherry wine,
and other recognized bodybuilding,
blood purifying elements. The state
ment of Mr.. Kemp, of Wheeling, is
verified by thousands of happy users.
All good druggists have il.

Future of the Sheep Industry Bright.

1t is my opinion that the high time
on wool has not come. The lower
Shenandoah Valley of Virginia will al
ways be adapted to the raising of early
lambs for the spring market, having
only two hours run from Washington,
where there is an increasing demand
every season.
On account of the early fly season,
cattle are much better to be disposed
of from the silos in the spring, and the
roughage utilized by the use of small
stock cattle, and sold 10 go to the
higher attitudes of Virginia where
there is always a good market in the
spring.
From some cause, there seems to be
a disposition generally among the
farmers TO retire from the sheep busi-
ness. Wool is something that cannot
be done without in the Middle West and
Atlantic States. There will be only
two courses left-eventually a boun-
ty will have to be paid, or the grower
will be compelled TO keep a certain
number of ewes for each hundred acres
of land, and the first proposition is the
most desirable. High cost of food and
the dog tax will eventually eliminate the
dog. G. F. WALL.

Bright Outlook For Cattle.

On account of the cattle market not
responding in the early winter months
of last year, there will be fewer cattle
put on feed the coming winter. 1t is
my opinion, we have not seen our high
time cattle, and even at the present
prices cattle fed a small ration of nub-
bins through the winter will show a
handsome profit in the spring months.

Much Damage By Storm.

The drought that had prevailed in the
Kearneysville neighborhood for some
weeks was broken yesterday evening by
storm that brought heavy rains and
was accompanied by destructive bolts
Of lightning. The rains were badly
needed by the crops, which were suf-
fering, but the lightning was not 80 ac-
ceptable. The barracks on the Roth
we'll fruit farm, formerly the Jones
place, between Kearneysville and Lee
town, was struck by lightning and COM
pletely destroyed by the fire that en-
sued. Harry Fleming is the manager
of the place. Men were engaged. in
hauling oats into the barracks, and when
the storm came up four-horse team
was driven into the building. When the
lightning struck the barracks the place
was set on fire so quickly that 1t was
impossible TO unhitch the horses and
get them out, and they persisted mlser-
ably in the flames. The crops Of wheat,
hay and oats from the farm were all
destroyed. There was an insurance OF
1000 on the building and $3.50 on the
contents, placed with Washington,
Alexander & Cooke, OF Charles Town
During the same storm the barn on
the farm of John Brown, in the locality
of Mount Zion Church, was also struck
and destroyed by fire, together with his
entire wheat and hay crops.
The dwelling-house at Kearneysvllle
of Joseph H. Trout, cashier of the
Farmers Bank OF Shepherdstown, was
struck during the storm, and some dam
age was done, though fortunately il
was not set afire nor was anyone hurt.
The bolt was fierce one and ran over
the wires in the most alarming way,
blowing out fuses and melting insula-
tors.
