first OF next April and make this place
their home. They will occupy the old
Staley home at the corner of Main
and Duke streets. and Mr.. Staley's
aged father, the venerable Mr.. George
r. Staley, will live with them. Our
people will welcome Mr., and Mrs.
Staley TO our community, afd we hope
that they may find life congenial and

an old Shepherdstown boy, has been
in business in New York for many
years, but he has the homing instinct
OF all true sons and daughters of this
ancient burg and wants TO come back.
Although he may not retire from busi-
ness, he will make this place his home
and headquarters. During the past
year or two he has remodeled the old
home and installed in il the modern
conveniences.

rain at Washington for Jacksonville,
and are driving from the latter place
to Miami in their car, a distance of
800 miles. They will stop off at ST.
Augustine, Daytona, Palm Beach and
other points of interest along the
route. II is said that the roads from
Jacksonville TO Miami are perfect, and
their trip is expected TO be one of
great enjoyment. Mrs. Byers will
keep Sudley Place open, Mrs. Mary
Keller having come up from Balti-
more to keep her company during the
winter.
Among our callers on Tuesday was
Mr.. Snyder Bane, Of the Charles Town
neighborhood. He says that his
father, Mr.. Zeph Bane. has reached
the advanced age of ninety years, and
though he is handicapped some by
the blindness with which he has been
afflicted for several years he is still
hearty and vigorous and in the best
OF health. He enjoys the company
OF his friends more than ever, and has
lost none OF his conversational powers
with his increasing years. Mr.. Bane
thinks that his father, who lives with
his son-in-law, Mr.. G. p. Brown, at
Wageley's shop, is good for at least
ten years more and will probably live
to reach the century mark.
