what they are doing on big scale We

There is no place in this section of
the country that is more interesting
and desirable than Shepherdstown as q
summer resort. Within easy reach of
the big cities either by improved high
vays or railroad; on the loveliest
stretch of hle Potomac river, with

social charm and n community of hos
ritahle and kindly people-every rea-
sonable enjoyment is 10 be found here
and all would be available IL those
who desire to come could only have
comfortable accommodations.
We are confident that a good hotel
here would he we'll patronized and
that it could he made feature of our
community that would be popular and
profitable. Every season there is in
cuiry from large numbers of persons
who would like to come here for theif
yacation-ndividuals and families who
have pleasant associations with the
town and vicinity and who appreciate
the great charm and the natural ad-
vaniaees Of this delightful spot.
Shall not our business men and
others who love the town or who are
interested in il take steps looking to-
ward the establishment of a hotel?

aggressive campaign, and he seemed
10 be Z winner. The explanation IF
Senator Sutherland's comparativcIv
easy victory probably lies in the fact
that the national administration pot
