Deer in This Section.

The Martinsburg Evening Journal
says that two fine specimens OF the
deer family, a buck and pretty doe,
evidently driven from their mountain
haunts in this section of West Viz
ginia or Maryland by unscrupulous
hunters and their dogs, have taken re-
fuge for the time being on the farm
of Ed Rauch, southeast OF Martins
burg. The deer are now in the big
wooded portion Of the Rauch farm, and
could stay there indefinitely so far as
the owner is concerned, if only no
one modest them. The greatest fear is
that some one will try to shoot one
or both of the animals, although there
is heavy penalty for killing deer.
They are protected by law for three
years, yet there are men who would
stoop to anything. True sportsmen
and every good citizen should feel II
their duty, if any miScreant murders
these inoffensive creatures, to do
everything in their power to punish
them to the full extent of the law. Al
ready it is understood armed hunters
with dogs have been seen in the vicin-
near Schoppert's FWdity. The big
buck was seen few days ago by quite
a number along the Tuscarora, and it
came close to J. Henry VanMetre's
near Schoppert's Ford. The fine, big
Metre wanted her husband to take
an ear of corn out and try to coax
the animal into the barn yard. Others
saw the buck at Flagg's crossing. The
deer, with great big antlers, jumped
the stream with magnificent ease and
was as pretty as a picture. 1t is sup
posd he was looking for the doe at that
time

A Close Call.

Samuel Knott, son of DR.. and Mrs.
S. T. Knott, of the Moler'S neighbor,-
hood, had a narrow escape from death
about O'Clock Wednesday morning
He was driving out of town in his
Buick roadster, and just as he was
about to cross the Norfolk & Western
Railway tracks on Washington street
a freight train, south bound, doomed
up. BY quick twist of the wheel Mr
Knott turned his car parallel with The
track, and the locomotive struck it a
glancing blow and threw it to one side
The train, fortunately, was moving
slowly, and the impact was not so Sc
we're. One wheel of the car was
broken and the fender on one side
smashed, but this seems to have been
the only damage to the automobile.
Mr.. Knott escaped without any injury
whatever. We believe that this is the
first time a car has ever been touched
at this crossing, busy as it is, and we
are glad to note that no injury was re-
ceived BY Mr.. Knott.

Taxes Away Up.

State and county taxes must be paid
on or before Saturday of this week II
YOU would get the benefit Of the "a
per cent discount You might as well
walk I'D to the sheriff's Office and take
your medicine. 1t will be bitter pill,
for there's an increase of about 50 per
cent in taxes over last year. The
total tax rate, exclusive of corporation
taxes, is S1.09M this year, as against
IS 1-6 cents last year. There's a good
deal of grumbling over taxes, for ap-
parently there's no additional benefit
from the increased tax rate. Inc
roads call for more money than ever
before, but our roads are not being
improved very much. The State tax
is doubled-but what do we get for
it? The teachers fund jumps from 81
to Al cents and the building fund from
5 to 10 cents, much of this increase
being from the action of the Legis-
lature running UP the salaries OF the
teachers, 1t looks as if we ought to
economic in our public expenditures
but where shall we begin?

Streets Need Attention.

Our town authorities ought to give
some needed attention to our streets
before winter sets in. Main street
between King and Princess is really
disgraceful, and the mud which is so
thick upon it should be scraped of
and a coating of stone or gravel ap,,
piled. The river hill, at the north end
of Princess street, is in worse condl-
ton than it has been for years. A lot
of old bricks and rubbish was hauled
upon it several months ago, and this
has done more harm than good. Com
plants are continually being made
concerning the hill, which in wet
weather is almost impossible. Tour
lists and others who come into our
town and country by this route get a
very unfavorable impression of our
community, and are not slow about eX-
pressing themselves. We hope that
our town officials may put this hill in
order as speedily as possible, we
are sure that public sentiment Will
approve of the expenditure necessary
IN do this

Got Rid of a Tramp.

Miss Sallie Hill, who has been
spending some time at the home of
Philip Banks, north Of town, had an
interesting experience few days ago.
Some time after dark she had gone to
the cistern for a bucket of water, and
as she was returning to the house she
was accosted by a strange man. He
asked for something to eat and permis-
sion to stay all night, and when Miss
Sallie refused he wanted to argue the
matter. She didn't like his looks, and
told him that he must not detain her
that she must go into the house and
give attention to her patients. whats
the matter with them?" he asked
Smallpox" she replied. Twas enough
The stranger gave gasp and started
down the road, and the last she heard
of him he was making about ten miles
an hour, from the sound of his foot
steps. There was, Of course, no small
pox, but her scheme worked all right

Hard Times for Newspapers.

The Hagerstown newspapers have
increased their subscription rates
again by fifty cents year. The ad-
vance is made necessary by the con-
stantly increasing cost of white paper
and other expenses. The average
country newspaper is UP against the
real thing. Paper that a few years
ago sold for S2.40 per 100 pounds is
now $500, and the probability is that
il will 60 to $500 or possibly sl4.00.
This will force lots of them TO the
wall, for weekly papers at best have
been making a bare living, and sucn
large additions to their expenses can
hardly be borne. II looks as if the
two dollar subscription price will soon
be here.

Lemon Extract JagS

The use of lemon extract as "filler'
to ginger ale is said to be growing
among those who still have that un-
ouenchable thirst, the combination
making beverage with a decided kick
to it. The government has issued a
warning to merchants that it is strict
" against the law to sell any OF these
extracts for beverage purposes, and
prosecutions will follow. The great
danger, however, is the probability that
those who use the stuff are likely to be
stricken with sudden blindness and a
horrible death.
