Farm Dwelling Destroyed BY Fire.

The Advocate says that the dwelling
on the farm of the heirs of the late
Jacob s. Fceser, one mile west of
Shenandoah Junction, was destroyed
by fire last Wednesday afternoon at
q o'clock. II is not definitely known
how the fire started. Forrest Sech-
rist, who farms the place, was at home
at the time. Seeing an unusual
volume OF smoke about the house, he
went to investigate, finding the rear
OF the house enveloped in flames. A
high wind made all efforts to check
the fire useless. A few articles of
furniture only were removed from the
front part Of the house. Mrs. Sc
christ was a patient in the Charles
Town Hospital at the time, and so was
spared the distressing experience of
witnessing the destruction of her
home. An insurance of S400 was car
ried on the furniture, while the house
had only $1,000 on il. The loss on
both will be much heavier than the
insurance.

A Great Milk Record.

Charles S. Bi'lmyer, of this vicin-
ity, who has one Of the best herds OF
Jersey cattle in this part Of the coun-
try, reports a notable performance by
one of his cows, the registered Jer-
sey Fox Golden Fleece. During the
year 1919 she produced 9,652 pounds
of milk, making 703 pounds Of butter
She finished the year still going strong
with one and a-half pounds of but
ter per day. This splendid cow
which is five months old, is due to
freshen in two months to Buttercup's
Oxford Majesty.

Over the Hills to the Poor House.

Bob Wilkinson, an aged colored
man of this place, has found refuge in
the county infirmary, and is sheltered
there from the SHOWS and winds OF
winter, with good, substantial food to
line his stomach. He has been living
alone for a number Of years, winning
a precarious livelihood bv doing oc-
caSional odd Jobs, but as he has gotten
old and feeble il was thought best to
send him to the county shelter. He
didn't like it there-few of the colored
people have ever been able to recon-
cile themselves to the imaginary dis
advantages of the "poor- house,
he trudged back home last week
Some one told him, however, that
Uncle Sam would probably draft him
in the Army or Navy and send him to
fight against the Germans unless he
went back, so Uncle Bob took his last
quarter and bought ticket for
Shenandoah Junction. and walked
from there to the infrmary, choosing
the lesser of two evils. Old shoes
will probably accumulate now in town
for one of Bob's hobbies was that a
pair of white folks shoes were always
acceptable, and a gift that was appre.
ciated was discarded footwear Nc
matter what the size, he would EN-.
phaticaly declare that he could make
them fit fine. Until the very last he
followed his profession of saving and
splitting wood, but il must be admit.
ted that his later efforts in this line
were somewhat futile. Let us hope
that Superintendent Elliott will take
good care of Uncle Bob and keep hin
well supplied with shoes.

Telephone Company Affairs.

Al the annual meeting Of the stock

last week the following board of di-
rectors was reelected for the ensuing
year: G Z. Hughes. l.. D. Getzendan-

James NJ. Mason, Jr., II. G. Getzen-

president, II. c. Getzen'anner gener-
al manager, and James NJ. Mason, .Ir.
attOrnCv.
General Manager Getzendanner
read his report for the past year, and
disclosed the fact that the expenses OF
the company had been SSo6 more than
ITS receipts during 1919. In con-
sideraton of the deficit, the board de-
clded that no dividends should be de-
clared. This is the first time since
the company was organized, it is
said, that a dividend on its preferred
stock has not been declared.
The Public Service Commission
will hold a hearing in Charles Town

the application of the telephone COM
pany for increased rates will be con-
sidered. Opportunity will be given
all persons interested to make pro-

The game at Martinsburg last Fri
day night had very disappointing
ending. Somehow custom decreed that
Shepherd College must lose, though
in close game, 26 to l9. The COL
lege boys had every chance, a superior
team and an excellent referee, so they
found it difficult to explain the game
Someone has suggested, however, that
over-confdence and failure to get
proper balance between offensive
and defensive play were to be noted
and these things will be guarded
against in subsequent games.
In fact, we saw nothing OF them
