THE MARTINSBURG FAIR.

All is in readiness for the Mar
tinsburg Fair which will be held
October 3rd, 4th, 9Th and 9th. The
Berkeley County Fair Association
under whose auspices the Fair will
be conducted have left no stone un-
turned in making it a Bigger and
Better Fair than has ever been at
tempted in this section of the coun-
try.
The Premium List extending to
all departments of the home and
farm has been greatly enlarged. The
prizes offered are all substantial in
their amounts. The Agriculture,
Horticulture, Livestock, Poultry and
Horse Shows have every indication
SURPRISING all previous efforts and
undertakings.
The entertainment features of the
Fair have not been neglected and the
people can be assured that there
will be an abundance of merry
making, which has its proper place
in all well conducted Fairs. The
Fair Management has been able to
make arrangements for Five Free
Daily Acts, both day and night,
Aeroplane Flights by a seasoned
Aviator, Fire Works, Riding Tourna-
ment and three well known bands.
In addition to this negotiations are
about complete to have the crack
Third U. S. Cavalry on the grounds
for daily performances. A large
and modern dancing pavilion will be
open day and night. In fact it can
be well said that all is in readiness
for the Martinsburg Fair which will
be held October 3rd, 4th, 5th and
9th, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday.

Let Us look for q moment at the

palgn expense account shows that he
spent $86,050. This was distributed
In lat patches, one of them $35, 900,
one $4,000, to politicians.
Whether these guileless gentlemen
used the subventions to the best adj
vantage of the liberal mattress max
er must remain locked in their own
bosoms. Suspicion is unworthy and
cynical. When generous amateur
piunges into politics, surely the
noble nature of the professional is
stirred. On the basis of the re-

the State one vote for every $7.25

counties the yield was one vote for

The C. F. Wall Company, of
Charles Town, has opened a meat
shop in the Baker building on Main
street, Shepherdstown, with Earl
Williams in charge. The new shop
will keep on sale a choice line of
fresh and salt meats. Mr.. Wall.
who is one of the most prominent
stock dealers in this section of the
country, says that the freight rates
on the railroads and the charges in
connection with the handling of live
stock have become so Unfortunately
high that there is little satisfaction
in this line of business, as all the
profits are absorbed by the expenses.
He is giving more attention there

ing equipped his place in Charles
Town for this feature of disposing
of stock. He has number of meat
stores in this section and will estab-
lish others.-Register.

WOMAN'S CLUB NOTES.

Everyone from this Club who at
tended the West Virginia Federation
OF Women's Clubs in Shepherdstown
this past week cannot but feel bene-
fitted, and it is to be regretted that
more from here could not have been
present. A more intelligent body of
women has never been assembled in
the Eastern Panhandle. The perfect
order that prevailed, the smoothness
with which the programme was car
ried out, the fine speeches made, and
papers read, were indicative of the
great work being done, by Women's
Clubs in West Virginia. Among the
best papers read was one of Mrs.
Conley, of Charleston, entitled 'The
Truth About West Virginia.. The
Charles Town Club will endeavor to
secure a number of copies for dis
tribution.
At meeting held by the Central
District, President, Mrs. Otis G..
Wilson, of Fairmont, it was voted by
the Clubs in the Eastern Panhandle
not to divide that District as propos-
ed, but to remain as one for another
year, with closer utilization with the
jefferson County Clubs and with the
Martinsburg Club, and with a meet
ing of the same every three months
in order to cooperate better. The
first meeting will be held here in
Charles Town, early in October.
Date to be announced later.
The Shepherdstown Club, Mrs.
William B. Snyder, President, is GER
tainly to be congratulated on the
way it handled the Convention and
all the visitors who came with it.
We take off our hats to our sister
Club.
The next meeting of the Woman's
Club will be held on September 2S
at the Community House at $3.50 ..
m. Please note the change of hour.
A full attendance is requested as
matters of Importance are to be
discussed.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON
TEMPERANCE WINCHESTER
DISTRICT CONFERENCE OF THE
M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH.
Charles Town, w. Va, September
4-6, 1922.

Charles Town, w. Va, September
40, 1922.
We note with deep concern the
widespread violations of the laws of
our land in regard to traffic in in
toxlcatlng liquors. We are panied
to think that many people of whom
We should expect better things, seem
to have no conscience on the SUBJ
ject of prohibition, but treat these
violations of our National Constitu-
ton as a mere joke.
In view of this attitude on the
part of such. large numbers of peo-
pie, we would put ourselves on rec
ord as standing squarely behind the
strict enforcement of the laws pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors.
We endorse the work of the Anti
Saloon League and the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union in
their continued fight against every
effort to weaken or repeal our
prohibition laws.
We stand ready to cooperate as
far as we deem prudent with the
officers OF the law and other agencies
In their effort to stamp out the illicit
liquor traffic from the land.
furthermore, We would register
our protest against the tendency, too
often seen, to deal leniently with
those found guilty of violating the
liquor laws, and as citizens of this
county, we call upon all our officers
to do their full duty in regard to
the enforcement of these laws.
Believing that the liquor traffic in
any form, is an enemy to good
society and to the kingdom of our
Lord, We call upon our people every
where to direct their prayers and
their influence against this great
evil.
