Major Knott, joining the company
at this time, sent the prisoners back
to safety, and moved the company
to Moler's Cross Roads, two and one
half miles east Of Uvilla. When
they neared the place, they saw the
advance guard of some force. They
charged and captured one. The
others ran into their column, close
ly followed by our company. They
were over the hill and could not be
seen. The company wheeled about
and exchanged some shots and re-
tired. It was a brigade Of cavalry
with artillery on their way to re-
inforce their forces at Shepherds
town. They, supposing that a heavy
force was in their front, placed their
artillery in position, threw out skir-
mishers, put their squadrons in line
of battle and awaited developments.
Full three hours time was lost.
Every citizen that happened along
was held by them until near mid
night.
They finally moved on, and joined
forces near Shepherdstown but too
late. This timely check of this
brigade for three hours undoubted-
ly saved the day on the pike at
Buffers woods. Our forces were
very many less than theirs.
Marker No. 5 at Moler's Cross
Roads, is few hundred yards west
of where the brigade was checked.

HOG CHOLERA.
Editor Spirit:


An old country doctor has heard
with regret that Hog Cholera is
about to become epidemic in our
county, and desires to suggest rem
edy. Although a defeated candidate
he wishes to save the bacon and pre-
serve inyiolate the Democracy or his
county, rejoicing as he passes along
the way, that he did not get the votes
OF hogs" at the primary.
lie particularly wishes that the
epidemic has not reached kabletown,
as TINS precinct is so thoroughly over
run by Bolshevism that double in
lection might destroy the voting pro-
clivities OF its people or change the
current of the Shenandoah.
The use of serum is alright for sick
hogs and defeated candidates, but
should not be dependent upon solely
as little medicine properly admin
istered is essential.
The Formula Take four pounds
of Stacked lime, one pound each of
EPSON salts and sulphur, mix mois-
ten with water, put in closed oven
and put over hot fire for two hours.
Then put in sealed jars, give freely
IN the slop or any way.
This remedy cannot injure, but is
good for any nfection-except the
foolish desire for office.
If it is not convient to make this
preparation, get a druggist to make
a preparation of Epson salts ano
Sulphide Calcium three to one ano
use accordingly.
This preparation has very disa
greeable smell, nearly as offensive az
that following a municipal cleo
ton or county primary.
Try it at least, as it surely will de-
as much good as the Prohibition
Amendment, and save as many hogs

LAWN FETE A BIG SUCCESS

The Lawn Fete for the benefit of
the Charles Town General Hospital
was held at the Hill farm the beauti-
full home of Mr.. Thorton T. Perry on
Tuesday evening. There could not
be a more attractive setting for such
a function and the decorated tables
In the shadow of the fine trees, with
the pretty summer dresses of those
serving and those being served, made
charming picture. The supper was
enjoyed by hundreds and the various
tables of parcel post packages, fancy
work, cake, &c, were literally pat
ronized. Attentive looking girls in
most picturesque costumes sold can
dy, and guessing cake looked most
inviting.
One of the most attractive pictures
of the evening was the musical pro-
gram under the direction of Miss
Laura Campbell. A chorus of about
thirty voices trained by Mr.. Brazier
sung patriotic and familiar songs
and solos were sung by Mrs. Ollie, of
Morgantown, Miss Goldsborough, of
Kansas City, Miss Mary Woods, of
Martinsburg, Miss Katherine Nc
Weams, of the Boston Conservatory.
and Mr.. VIM. Snyder, of Shepherds
town. The beautiful voices gave
great pleasure to the audience and
the music greatly appreciated. Mr..
Henson's K. K. X. band in their pref
ty new uniforms and the Powhatan
band were in attendance. They
were greeted with much applause and
their playing much admired.
The voting contests brought in a
goodly amount to the treasury. A
pair of brass candlesticks given by
MIR. Brazier was voted to Miss Mar.
garet Kennedy as the prettiest girl
IN Jefferson county, and a necklace
gwen by Miss Elsie Murphy was won
by Miss Ciciely Bowman visitor to
our town, as the most popular young
lady.
Those interested in the hospital
feel very greatful to all those who
presence. One of the most gratify-
helped, both by their work, gifts and
ing features of the occasion was the
fact that nearly every section of
the county was represented. The
Hospital is a County Institution. II
benefits all who need it's ministry
and the more help it gets the bet
ter will be its service. Functions
OF this sort bring it and it's needs
before the public, so if you haven't
helped already help now.
Amount received from Lawn
Fete and donations $1,069.3O
Expense 54.57
Net proceeds $1,014.73
