Almost all our summer birds have
arrived now. The swallows came
couple of weeks ago, the bluejays have
made their appearance, the thrushes
are with us again, and the first of the
week the cheerful wrenS, always
doubly welcome, made known their
presence by inceSsant songs in which
they tried to express their gladness at
being back home once more. The cat
birds and the orioles are yet to come
from the South, but they will soon be
along. Already the robins and red
birds have built their nests and started
housekeeping.
Manager E. Stanley Halter of the
Kearneysville Creamery sent to the
editor of the Register a few days ago
a cheese made by his establishment.
We never hope to taste any better
cheese than this. Rich and sweet and
appetizing, it is a product that cannot
but prove popular, and if they don't
sell all they can make it will be a won
der to us. 1t is a source of good
deal of satisfaction TO the people Of
this section that riie KearneySville
Creamery is being so well conducted
and that its products are so thorough
~ good that it has market for every
thing it sells. With the right sort OF CO.
operation on the part of our farmers
and Gairymen ii should prove to be
big thing 10 Jefferson county and add TO
the wealth and the fame of our already
popular section.

A great change has come DER our
erstwhile friend, Charles H. Shipman,
formerly of Charles Town, now of Lees
burg, Va. When he lived in this coun-
ty he was strong temperance advocate
and none was more assiduous than he
in preaching and practicing prohibition,
even though he lived in the very wet
town of Charles Town. A number of
years ago he moved to Virginia, and
from that time we fear he has been on
the downward path. He has now got
ten to the point where he is running for
Congress, and, worse still, he is trying
to scoot into the National House on a
wet ticket Of his own. Here is one
of the planks in his platform: 81 am
unalterably opposed to taking from
the people rights and privileges hither-
to enjoyed by the people without the
consent of the people. Therefore, if
elected, ! shall seek the immediate re-
peal of the amendment to the Federal
Constitution establishing prohibition
