home was artistically decorated in
white chrysanthemums and ferns,
most attractive altar having been i'm
provised of graceful ferns flanked on
either side by white pedestals sur
mounted by candelabra. Prior to the

touch of Mrs. E. R. Clapp, the bride,
looking decidedly charming in navy
blue tricotine suit with accessories to
match and wearing an exquisite cor
sage of Bride roses, sweet peas stew
ia and ferns, came down the stairway
alone and was joined at the bottom
step by the groom. Together they
proceeded to the altar, where the
solemn vows were taken while "Trau-
meri" was softly played. Immediate
ly following the ceremony an elegant
wedding breakfast was served, and Mr..
and Mrs. Bransford then left by auto

Interesting Game of Basketball.

The first game Of the season for
the Shepherd College basketball team
was played at St. James last Saturday,
and it was a highly interesting spec
tacle, enjoyed by all. The game was
played in their gymnasium, which is
partly open to the weather, and the
rain having beaten in, the floor was so
wet and slippery that the players could
scarcely stand, much less run and
.assle. The St. James boys had shoes
with fiber soIes, which gave them
decided advantage over our boys,
whose shoes had rubber soles. At the
end of the first half the score was 80
to 4 in favor of St. James. During
the intermission, Shepherd College
player made an experiment and found
that he didn't slip in his stocking feet.
When the second half began, of came
all the shoes from the Shepherd Col
.lege team, and they gave St. James a
real surprise. When time was called
the score was 81 70 81. In the follow
ing Ave minutes our boys kept up their
lively pace, and the final score was
A to SO in favor Of Shepherd College.
Newton Mckee starred, making ten
field goals in fourteen minutes. He
might have done more, but he un-
fortunately dislocated his big toe and
got a finger out of place at. the same
time

County Court Proceedings.

AT the special term OF the Jefferson
County Court in Charles Town last
Thursday owners of property AUDITING
on High street, Harper's Ferry, and
Washington street, Bolivar, entered
formal waiver of all claims for any
and all damages they may sustain by
reason of the construction of Class
A road through these towns. The
matter of possible damages to abutting
property was one of the big eonsidera-
tions that caused the court to hesitate
about approving the proposed inn
Jprovement over the streets named. The
road through the towns is to have
width of 80 feet, except that portion OF
High street BETWEEN Church and
Shenandoah streets. Because of the
.narrowness of the street in that Sec
ton, the court agrees TO modification
of the plans so that the contractor will
be allowed to construct the road there
a width of p feet only.
DR.. J. M. Miller, who has been presi-
dent of the county board of health for
several years, resigned. The court
thereupon recommended to the State
Board of Health the appointment OF
DIR. Alex. Rouss as his successor, to
serve term of four years from the
date of his qualification.
T. Grove Henkle, of Halltown, quail
flied as a notary public by giving the
required security.
The resignation of ]. William Black
ford as road supervisor of Middleway
district having been in the hands of
the court for some time, it was order
ed that R. M. Everhart be appointed to
succeed him.
Traffic officer ]. j. Skinner has made
a most excellent showing since his ap-
pointment less than month ago. He
submitted a report of his work since
November IS, showing that he had
collected S1,096.29 IN motor vehicle
licenses.
Prosecuting Attorney Porterfeld was
authorized to offer a reward of $500
for the apprehension OF one Roy
Reed, an alleged cattle thief, now at
large.
At the session of the court held on
Monday last Sheriff Engle was given
an allowance for his deputies as fol-
lows: W. B. Alder, Harper's Ferry
and Kablstown districts, S1,250; Geo.
c. Link, 'Shepherdstown district, $3.50;
C. w. Conrad, clerk, S475.
Vim. NJ. Burns was appointed road
supervisor for Kabletown district, sue
ceeding R. E. Boyd, whose term had
expired. Mr.. Burns is the efficient
road supervisor for Charles Town dis
trict, and the people of Kabletown dis
trict asked for his appointment to

PERSONAL NOTES.

Messrs. Robert c. Rissler and Clay
| ton L. Haines, of Charles Town, were
in Shepherdstown last Saturday to
confer with the newspaper men Of this
place in regard to the serious problems
that now confront the country news
papers. The situation is such as to
cause grave concern to publishers Of
weekly newspapers, as prices for pa
per and other materials have advanced
beyond all reason and it is almost i'm
possible to secure paper enough to
meet the demands.
Mrs. Chas. D. Wysong, who has
been in Philadelphia for the past
couple of weeks, on Monday submitted
to an operation for the removal Of a
small bone in her nose which had
been causing her a good deal of dis
comfort. She bravely endured the or
deal without taking an anaesthetic, and
is getting along very we'll. She hopes
to be home by Christmas.
Among the subscribers to the Reg
lister from out of town who have called
TO renew their subscription during the
past few days were Messrs. w. A.

w. Osbourn, of this vicinity, and Capt
H. G. Getzendanner, of Charles Town.
Mr.. E. Frank Ronemous, formerly
of Charles Town, who has been en-
ployed in Washington during the past
year, will return to Charles Town
January 1st and enter the employ of
John c. Burns & Co., hardware and
implement dealers of that place.

sister, Mrs. William Goodrich, whose
little son was operated upon for the

News From Florida.

Albert T. Chapline, formerly Of
Shepherdstown, who has recently
been made night editor at the head Of
the news department of the Herald,
the leading daily newspaper of Miami,
writes US an interesting letter from
that city of the far South He says:
The city is filing with tourists, and
by the first Of the year there viii be
Jam. Prices are high if you want to
pay them, and reasonable if person
does not want TO splurge. II seems
TO be a weakness of some people TO
"blow" their money just TO make a
showing, and there are plenty of peo-
pie here who grab it while it is whirl-
ing.
Miami is. beautiful city, with Bis
cayne Bay, a broad expanse Of water,
on one side, and the Miami river run
ming through the center of the town.
Thefe are yachts and households
packed and jammed here. Million
aires are numerous. Tropical fruit
and foliage abound, and We are wear
ing Palm Beach suits, low shoes and
summer underclothing.
Prohibition does not affect this
place. There is an island called
Bimini, about so miles of Miami, and
it is stocked with Canadian Club and
Irish whiskey. 1t comes in from Mas
sau, Bahama Islands, about one hun
dred miles from here, and thence is
transported in boats via Bimini to this
place. 1t sells for $3.50 per quart.
There are more hotels in this city
than in New York and Chicago.
Everything is a hotel, almost, and
more are being built. Building ooera-
tons here for this year are now over
100000, with about twenty more
days to run before the end of the year.
In this respect Miami ranks second
only to Atlanta in the south. To be-
gin to describe the beauties of this
place would require some thinking,
and when try to do that get head
ache. But it looks odd to see cocoa
nuts growing on trees in the streets,
oranges laying on the ground, grape
fruit, guavas and avocados handy to
throw at a fellow across the street,
If you have a grudge against him. The
kumquats look like little yellow to-

The Right Sort of Christmas Gift.

A number of persons from our own
neighborhood and from other sections
have complied with the suggestion
that the Register makes an acceptable
Christmas present, and during the
past week or two they have sent us
orders for a years subscription for
relatives and friends. We thank those
who have so favored us, and ap-
preciate their kindness.
What can be more acceptable to
anyone interested in Shepherdstown or
Jefferson county than the weekly
news letter that tells them of the af-
fairs of the home neighborhood =? II
carries them a faithful record of local
events week by week, and is at the
same time a reminder of the thought
fulness of the donor.
If you are puzzled as TO the sort
of gift you wish to make this Christ
mas, consider a years subscription to
the Register. II costs but a dollar
and a-half, and will be appreciated
long after some gewgaw that costs
more has been forgotten. Send US
the money and the address-we will
do the rest.

There is really no reason why men

Cider. Cider. Who Stole the ciderg

A well-known farmer Of the Sandy
Ridge neinghborhood had aVfully bad
luck last week. Some weeks ago he
made barrel of extra good cider, and
put in il a, quantity of raisins to make
il just right. The cider was in the or
chard near the house, and every time
he sampled it il seemed TO be better,
with promise that il would reach the
right spot about Christmas time. One
night last week couple Of men drove
into the orchard with al automobile
ard carried off the whole bar-cider,
barrel and all. They were seen by
members of the household, but by the
time an investigation was made the
marauders> had gotten safely away,
and dear knows where the cider is BY
this time.
