TOWN COUNCIL ORGANIZES.

The recently elected town council met
in the council chamber last Monday
night, with Mayor ]. Strider Moler
presiding; others present were Herber,
Rogers, recorder; councilmen /. II.
Robinson, S. L. Cooley, H. M. Turner,
and VIM. B. Snyder. H. c. Malone,
who had been elected as councilman,
declined to qualify, and r. C. Miller
was then elected in his place. s. L.
Cooley was reelected treasurer and
W. w. Winters was reelected town
sergeant and tax collector.
The matter Of street Improvement for
the coming year was discussed. II la
Dor can be secured for reasonable
prices the town quarry will probably be
operated. If high wages shall be de-
manded il is likely that crushed stone
VIII be gotten from the quarries near
Engle. The usual contributions for
oiling the streets will be solicited az
once, and it is hoped that there will
be liberal responses, so that more of the
streets can be oiled and two coats ap-
Piled during the summer. If salts
factory arrangements can be made for
storing the oil, a tank car of 5000
gallons will be bought The price of
oil Is only about half what it was last
year, and if bought by the tank car loaa
it is about third less than getting
1t in barrels, as has been the custom
heretofore.
George N. VanMetre was granted
permission to erect public weighing
scales on portion of the corporations
lot adjacent to the National Highway
Garage.
1t was ordered that a milk-testing
apparatus be purchased for the use of
the town board of health, SO that milk

An Old Landmark Passes.

one Of the oldest houses in Shen-
nerdstown has just been torn down
II is the old Staley house on what was
formerly known as Mill street now
Rumsey Avenue, near the Rumsev
monument grounds. Nobody knows
Just how old the house is. For MANY
years II was owned and occupied by
the late Jacob Staley, and it was tho
nome OF his father, Jacob Staley, be-
fore that. Our venerable fellow-towns
man, George r. Staley, tells us that
ms father was host at the wedding
dinner for him and his bride sixty.
SIX years ago, and the house was not
new then. The building was a sub
stantial frame structure, and the inside
tlmberS were still sound and solid
When they were removed last week.
While 1t was being torn down by E.
R!Hih and r. P. Shaffer Karl Hill found
an English copper penny dated 1866.
Inc house occupied a beautiful loca-
tion on the ridge overlooking the town
run and its picturesque waterfall and
the deep ravine through which the
stream flows to the river, with a beau,
tiful view up the river. After the
Staley family was scattered and moved
away the house passed from their pos
session, and for number Of years has
been owned by II. G. Marten. The
grading for new pavement left tho
house high and dry on its elevation,
and as the roof decayed and it fell
into general decay it became almost
uninhabitable. A few months ago Mr.,
Marten sold the place to Mrs. c. w.
Boyer. She decided to demolish the
old building, and it is her intention to
later on build new home on the his
toric spot 1t is quite likely that the
old house was $50 years old. There
is possibility that it may be nearer
200 years, as that part OF the town was
the first TO be built up when New
Meckenburgh was originally establish

Our Road Bids Rejected.

The West Virginia State Road Com
mission last week awarded contracts
Tor twenty-eight projects in twenty-one
counties Of this State. Bids were re-
Jected for two proposed roads-one in
Jeherson and one In Berkeley. The
lowest bid for the construction Of Ia
miles Of concrete road through Boli-
var and Harper's Ferry was that of tho
bester-Long Company, OF Hagerstown.
which wanted $53,722.l2 for doing the
work. The commission rejected this
bid. The lowest bid for the construc-
ton Of the Martinsburg- winchestes
pike between Inwood and the Virginia
State line was that Of Hager Brothers,
Grafton, who offered to do the work for
S1OO,749. This was also rejected.
1t is stated that the bid OF the Bes-
fer-Long Company was rejected be-
cause it was not in proper form. New
bids will be advertised for.
The twenty-eight projects that were
let call for an expenditure of ap-
proximately 100000. Major C. p.

as saying thta the bids we're "unusually

To Oil Our Streets.

Everybody will be glad to know that
our city fathers are taking steps look
ing to the oiling and improving Of our
streets just as soon as necessary ar
rangements can be made. The usual
contributions will be solicited from
private individuals, business firms and
civic bodies, and these funds will be
supplemented with appropriations from
the corporation that will enable US to
put our streets in fine order. 1t is
hoped that sufficient money can be
provided to buy tank car Of OIL abou,
5000 gallons, as there is a very large
saving in buying it by wholesale. II
this is done, not only can more OF the
streets be oiled, but the oil can be
applied two or three times during the
season, and thus insure us against the
Objectionable dust nuisance Let all
the people help in this good cause.

The annual convention Of the West
virginia Federation Of Women's Clubs
to be held in Shepherdstown next
September, 18th to 18th, promises 10
be the most largely offended meeting
ever held by this organization. Every-
body connected with women's CLUBS
seems to want to come to Shepherds
town, and already from every section
OF the State reports indicate that full
delegations will attend. Our hospital
IT. Will be taxed, but the local club
and our people will do their best to
rise to the occasion, and will give
hearty welcome to our visitors. The
latest bulletin OF the Federation has
this to say about the coming meet
ing:
The Woman's Club Of Shepherdstown
has through its president, Mrs. William
b. Snyder, graciously invited the West
Virginia Federation of women's Clubs
to hold its next annual convention in
that city. This invitation has been
accepted by the board of directors, tho
dates which have been set by the host
ess club and the program committee,

The Eastern Panhandle is beau-
tiful part Of West Virginia and is a
section OF which we are very proud.

hospitality, but also for its wonderful
apple orchards, good roads, beautiful
scenery and places OF great historico
interest.
The country will be at It's best in
September, the apples with their beau-
tiful colorings on the trees and ready
for harvest. II is an ideal motor trim

Will Now Build the Road.

The commissioners of Washington
county, Md, on Tuesday sold SS2, 1000
OF bonds with which to pay the county's
share OF the cost Of building the con-
tinuation of the State road between
Keedysyille and the river bridge at
Shepherdstown. The bonds sold for
approximately S1.09. The contract
for the section between Keedysville
and Sharpsburg was let last fall to
p. Flanagan & Sons, and it is stated
that this firm will in the immediate
future begin the work and push it I'd
completion without delay. II is said
that the work will be commenced at
Sharpsburg and continued toward
Keedysville.
The completion Of this section Of
the road will bring Maryland's fnd
system Of State roads within three
miles OF Shepherdstown, and it is not
unreasonable to hope that within a
short time it will be extended to the
Potomac river at this place. This
makes it imperative that our county
or State shall show good faith to OUT
Maryland neighbors and provide a
good road as an outlet to the South.

American Legion Minstrels Give
Splendid Presentation to Ap-
preciative Crowds.

The Forty and Eight" Minstrels
staged by the John Edwards Post,
American Legion, proved wonderful
ly, not to say surprisingly, pleasing
to an audience which comfortably
filled the mammoth tent loaned to
the Legion by w. I. Swain, veteran
show man of the south, who turned
mis- show over to his aides and an
swered his country's call for men in
the world war. From opening song
to closing scene where the last of
the surplus babies was restored to its
mothers hatchet-wielding hands, the
show moved along with all the snap
and ginger of cast of professionals.
The shouts of merry laughter and
screams of amusement were allowed
to subside at intervals by splendid
vocal selections by Mrs. B. M. Set
tie, Mrs. Thad Montgomery, Miss
Edith Willis, Robert Smith and Jim
my Rouse, giving a program that
pleased old and young, frivolous and
serious minded. "The Lawn Party"
with Cecil Byrne, Ray Davis, Rags"
Penn, and Earl Guess as black-face
walters gave Chester Byrne, director
and interlocutor, opportunities ga
lore to pave the way for some sure
fire comedy dialogues between him
self and the walters. Many two
doyyar show had less fun and enter
tainment than was put over by
these joke-smiths.
The surprise of the evening was
the natural talent for black-face
stuff shown by Howard Ryan in the
character of a "skeered darkey". His
Just Nonsense" made one Of the
dig hits of the evening.
Cecil Byrne in an original recita
Give was great favorite with the
audience, and was encored again
and again.
Miss Alice deSola, in dance roi-
entale, made big hit with her au-
dience, and then added more laurels
by her impersonation of an old maid
in "The Married Bachelor" In this
little playlet Marie McGrath also
proved splendidly effective and
charming. Chester Byrne, as the
smuchly married bachelor, was at his
eest. which is to say he was perfect.
Ray Davis, as the hired man-hired
principally as gardener, to hear him
Ecalk-was a scream. "Army" Arm
strong, as the deacon, kept the house
in an uproar, and when Army" can
impersonate deacon it's the same as
saying he is some actor.
The playing of Miss Hazel Bryce
deserves special mention, for 1t was
her wonderful ability to make the
music At in with the action on the
stage that made the show the great
success 1t was.

Rockport to Have Fair.

Hazlehurst. Miss. - The Rockport
school officers have made plans for
holding their annual community fair
On Oct. 1S and the Christian Chapel
school for Nov. under the direction
of Miss Matte Fugler, county home
demonstration agent for Copiah. At
these fairs last year there were 500
exhibits, from sewing to farm pro-
ducts, and this year the interest is
so great that over 1000 exhibits
will likely be made at the two fairs.
The two communities are rated a.
n ong the best in the county for com
munity work and improvement along
all branches of home and farm work.
