Funeral Director r. S. NJ. Hoffman
has placed in commission his new auto
mobile hearse, brought from Piqua,
Ohio, last week and it is probably the
handsomest vehicle of the kind in this
section. The hearse which he had be-
fore was grey, but this is black, with
soft. dull satin finish that is beautiful
II is without superfuous ornamental
zion and is dignifed in style and i'm
pressive in appearance. The motor is
a powerful twelve cylinder engine OF
the very best type. The hearse has the
most modern Improvements and ap-
pliances, and is the latest and best in
the way of a funeral car. Mr.. Hotf-
mans enterprise in bringing to our
community such a splendid equipment
is to be highly commended.
1t looks as if the ladies and gentle
men from Martinsburg and HagerS-
.own who are holding revels each Fri
day night in the fremen's hall in this
place will have TO be run out of town
if the fair name of our city is to be
preserved. Tie hall was rented some
geeks ago by Martinsburg parties for
re purpose of having weekly dances,
nd these SOireeS are causing some
Interesting episodes in our community.
ast Friday night lively time was had
~ an Town Sergeant Shipley was
called upon TO preserve order, but a
hig fellow from Berkeley county in
lie uniform of a soldier defed anyone
20 arrest him. Our town sergeant
ever backs down, but the big dough-
OK didn't know it, He made fierce
pass at the sergeant and missed and
ext thing he knew he was feeling a
bump on his head where the officers
club had landed. He was yanEed be-
.ore Mayor Hill in short order and
fined $40 and costs. He paid up and
was released. The crowd kept folks
awake until early morning as they
-ambled about the streets. The con-
duct of the ladies who attend the
dances is reported to be anything but
exemplary, while their language shocks
even the unsensitive ears of those
who have heard the most picturesque
and vivid expressions of the mule
drivers on the canal towpath. Quiet,
respectable Shepherdstown is not used
to such carvings on. The dances
ought TO be stopped by all means.
