applications from non-residents fisher
men to have their SIS license refunded,

the license act unconstitutional, nor

Millions of Blackbirds.

Blackbirds are hocking together
now, and vast numbers of them may
be seen flying to and from their feed
ing grounds and roosting places, morn
ing and evening. They have become a
considerable nuisance to the farmers
OF this section and are destroying
quantities of corn in the fields. When
big flock Of the birds alight in a
corn field they have an uncanny
shrewdness in finding the ears which
are open to their attack by reason of a
loose husk, and in a shortstime they
will have the ear half eaten. Shooting
at them has but small effect. They
simply fly to some other field in the
neighborhood and return when the
firing has ceased. The blackbirds
have been greatly increasing in num-
bers the past four or five years. Some
thirty or forty years ago prodigious
hocks Of them were to be found in this
section. Then for long time they
decreased in numbers, and there we're
comparatively few of them until they
began to increase again a few years
ago. They are not popular for food.
Notwithstanding the famous episode
when four-and-twenty blackbirds were
baked in a pie for the king. else they
might be used to bring down the high
cost of living.

Dir. Crider Makes n Visit.

who should walk into the Register
Office last Thursday but our old friend
Mr.. James A. Crider, who left here
10 years ago for Kentucky and has
never been back since? We didn't
know him, of course, for he doesn't
look over 40 years old, even if he does
confess TO 66. Mr.. Crider, who lived
in the country north Of town and was
related TO the numerous Bycrs families
OF that section, pulled UP stakes and
set out for what was then the West As
years ago. He landed in Milburn,
Kentucky, and that he was well pleased
with that section Is shown by the fact
that he has lived there ever since.
Somehow or other he never got back
to the home of his boyhood DAYS in all
the intervening years, but since his
cordial welcome here by his old friends
he admits that this was a mistake. He
is now visiting around among them and
Is having the time OF his life going
over the scenes OF his youth. Mr..
Crider has prospered in Kentucky. He
has accumulated a family and some
500 acres Of good land, including fne
tobacco land, and after having worked
hard he is now able to take a rest and
enjoy life. He is the same genial lin
that ne was half century ago, and his
friends here are glad to see him again.

Delegate Grove Has Adventures.

Delegate Roy C. Grove, Of Berke-
ley county, who is in Charleston at
tending the extra session Of the Legs-
lature, is having adventures. As he
was standing in front OF his hotel in
Charleston Monday night a govern
ment detective arrested him, mistak-
ing him for Grover Bergdoll, the
famous Philadelphia Stacker and de-
serter The federal agent had been
trailing him for several days, having
hung on his trail from Philadelphia to
Richmond, back to Washington and
then to Charleston. or course Mr..
Grove had no difficulty in establishing
his identity, though it was admitted he
looked very much like Bergdoll The
next day at the capitol building a good
looking woman rushed UP to Roy and
gave him an ardent kiss. He thought
that he was being vamped until the
lady called him Senator Montgomery.
She was an ardent anti-suffragist, and
she had mistaken him for the Senator,
who was violently opposed to suffrage.

Air Tank Lets Go.

Last Sunday morning about 7.30
O'Clock the folks in the south part of
town were startled by loud explosion
at the National Highway Garage. They
rushed to the place, where they found
that the compressed air tank had ex-
ploded in the shop from either de-
feet in the tank or too high pressure,
The tank, which weighed a couple
OF hundred pounds, had blown out at
the bottom, the heavy receptacle flying
up against the roof with terrific force
A rafter was broken and the corner
of the roof had been blown from its
fastenings. The damage to the build
ing was small, however. J. w. Wells.
who was standing near the tank, got
the fright of his life. He was blown
about fifteen feet by the force of the
explosion, but fortunately escaped with
scratch on the forehead. The dam
age was soon repaired, but william
was nervous for several days and still
steps lightly as he passes that tank.

SeasOnable Snake Stories.

VIM. H. Johnson, OF Terrapin Neck,
comes to the front with another snake
story. While gathering eggs a few
days ago he saw big blacksnake in a
hens nest in the act of swallowing an
egg. He called to his son Albert, who
came with a hoe and chopped the
snakes head off. II had by this time
swallowed the egg, but Mr.. Johnson cut
the reptile, and there was the egg un-
broken. II was not unbroken long,
however, for his wife took stick and
smashed it. The snake was 5 feet 2
inches long.
Samuel Grimm, while blowing in a
field of G. T. Brown near Brownsville,
Washington county, Md, turned up a
copperhead snakes nest containing 20
eggs. The eggs, which were about
ready to hatch, were broken open and
% live snakes, each from six TO ten
inches IN length, wriggled out One

APPLE NEWS.

Z. l.. Goldsborough's apple packing
plant in the old manufacturing shops
Is working fine, and the machinery
ne mas installed is running in first-class
style. He has about dozen MEN and
women at work there, besides the force
picking apples in the orchards. This
week he has been packing Yorks for
export to England. They are a biz
green yet, but this is desirable for ex-
port fruit. The apples are of good
size and quality and lack only brigh,
coloring. Mr.. Goldsborough and Hen
ry shepherd are each packing two car
loads OF Gorks for export this week,
and the former has also sent out a
carload Of Grimes Golden. Mr.
Soldsoorough expects this season a
crop OF about thousand barrels Of
apples from his South orchard, purchas.
ed from Jos. E. Byers, and they are
especially fine.
There is very little inquiry for ap-
pies on the part Of buyers. Usually
by this time of year the buyers are
making their purchasers. but this
season for some reason they are hold
ing back. The Grimes Golden Orchard
Company of Berkeley County reports
that it has sold its crop of Grimes
Goldens, amounting to about 5000
barrels, at $3.50 per barrel. f. c.
Henshaw reports the sale Of Ave car
loads of Yorks for export at $500 DER
barrel. G. L. Rothgeb, of Stephens
City, Va, states that he has sold some
OF his York Imperial apples, packed
2H inches, T. o. b. Stephens CITY, for
$3.50. The shipments are understood
to have been in less than carload lots.
In order to meet the demand and in
an effort to get the most out of their
best stock, number of apple growers
selling through the Cumberland Fruit
Exchange are packing apples in boxes
this year, the first time that il has been
done in this section on a commercial
scale. The exchange, it is said, has
orders for 10000 boxes and il hopes to
be able to fill the order. A box holds
four-fifths of bushel of fruit. Every
apple put into the package is hand
wrapped in paper, and the boxes arc
labeled on the outside with the num-
Der Of apples contained and sold OF
that basis, just as oranges. lemons
and grape fruit are marketed, the
number indicating the size of the fruit
Jonathan, Delicious, Stayman, and
Winter Banana are the varieties being
put into the boxes
The pear crop of the Loudoun noun
tain orchards of Becker Bros, near
Harper's Ferry, has been sold to
George Norris, of Baltimore, for the
Stewart Fruit Company, of that city.
1t is said that the yield will be about
10000 bushels. There are 5000 trees
in the orchards, about twenty years
