HORSE AND BUGGY
. DAYS T..
BY the Old Lamp Lighter

A feature of the program rem
dered at the annual pilgrimage
made by the Keedysville L. b.
Church. to Mt Hebron, the site OF
the first church ever built by the
denomination, was pageant de-
picting a service i'll the old
church. The participants, boys
and girls, wore costumes of that
early day. The 'preacner," which
character was taken by young
son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Burt
ner, rode to the cemetery gate, IN
which the exercises were held, on
a horse, which was at that time
a favOrite mode of travel. The
preacher at that time, who was
George Adam Geeting, rode many
miles on horseback. Another piO-
neer preacher of that day, Rev.
Christian Newcomer, who later be-
came Bishop, made IS trips from
his home near Beaver Greek to
the West and back again to his
home, on his preaching tours.
An early number of The Eve
ming Globe gives this news story:
David Rowe and his brother left
their home at the Antietam Paper
Mill to go hunting. They carried
their gun with them in a buggy,
and as they were descending
hill, one of the guns slipped out of
the buggy and in some manner
discharged, the heavy load of shot
striking Mr.. Rowe at the elbow
and tearing a large hole in his
arm. His arm was bent at a right
angle when the shot struck it, and
the muscles and fleshy part of the
arm below the elbow were torn in
a frightful manner. The wound
although not fatal, is very severe
and occasions much pain. DR.. J.
Mcpherson Scott dressed the
wound"
George Wallick. Beaver Creek,
died of injuries received when he
was kicked in the stomach by a
horse, several weeks previously.
He was aged so years.
The lifeless body Of John E.
King was conveyed to the estab-
lishment Of C. M. Suter and pre-!
pared for burial. The deceased
was a brakeman in the employ of
the Western Maryland Railway
and fell from the cars while pass
ing through Shippensburg. His
neck was broken and death result
ed in about an hour. He was
son of John A. King, an employee
of the Antietam Paper Co., and
was highly esteemed.

STILL CAPTURED NEAR
WISE COUNTY LINE

Deputy Sheriff Dallas Mullins
nd Leonard Younce Of the ABC
raiding squad captured a 800 gal
len moonshine still and accessories
in the Cumberland Mountain near
the Dickinson Wise line on Friday
of last week. Seventeen hundred
and fifty gallons of mash was
dumped, and twelve gallons of
white liquor was confscated. Two
men fled from the still, but their
names, if known, have not been
revealed publicly by the officers.
This section along the county
border is ideally adapted to moon
shining. It is reported that a
quantity of whiskey is still made
there, although the price is low.
ranging down to twenty-five cents
a pint. The people in that sec
ion seem to prefer the homemade
white liquor to the store kind. It
is understood that Leonard Younce
will be stationed in Clintwood for
some weeks to give special atten-
ton to the numerous nip joints

According to law, dog owners
must secure dog tags before Feb
ruary l or be subject to a fine
and costs, Game Warden Claude
F. Beverly announces.
Wardens have instructions to
summon every delinquent dog
owner found after February 1 be-
fore the trial justice, and the court
will have no other alternative than
to impose fines and costs. War
dens have also been instructed to
enforce the law requiring dog
owners to keep collars and tags
on dogs at all times except when
engaged in lawful hunting.
Officials urge dog owners to Sc
cure license tags at the treasurer's

themselves the embarrassment of
having to appear in court.
