R. Lucien Reinhart, who will remove
from Shepherdstown to Harrisburg, Pa.,
is selling his big flock of White Leghorn
chickens. L). P. Pierce, a well-known
poultryman of Berryville, got 500 this
week, and E. L. Goldsborough, of this
place, got 100. Mr. Reinhart had about
1,000 fowls in all, purebred White Leg- 1
horns of the finest kind, and their beauty
on the green slopes of his chicken ranche
near the river attracted much attention. :
It is generally thought that the corn
crop will be small this season. The recent
rains have kept the corn green and
flourishing, but so many fields are short,
and so many others are irregular, that it
is hardly expected to properly mature
unless the season should be unusually
favorable. Insect pests have caused a
great deal of trouble, and much of the 1
corn had to be replanted several times. I
There are some fields now that are not
much more than knee high.
H. L. Snyder & Co. have for sale two
fine young orchards in full bearing, near
Shepherdstown, aggregating thirty acres,
that will be sold at a bargain. This is a !
fine proposition to anyone who wishes
to go into the apple business, for the land
itself is very desirable, independent of ;
the orchards. The price at which this
property can be bought makes it asplen
did investment. Inquire for particulars |
from H. L. Snyder & Co., Shepherdstown,
W. Va. I
Walter M. Demory, one of Jefferson |
county's enterprising and successful
farmers, south of town, has given us j
some interesting figures of his wheat (
crop. On 34 acres of corn-ground he
raised 686 bushels of wheat, or more than (
20 bushels per acre. On 34 acres of fal- (
low-ground he raised 867 bushels, or
about 26 1-2 bushels per acre. He had a |
yield of 149 bushels of oats on four acres ,
of ground. Mr. Demory thinks that his
crops turned out pretty well, considering f
that this was such a poor wheat year. (
Next Thursday will be George Fra/ier's
big day. On this auspicious occasion the j
colored Baotists will hold their annual |
picnic in the Ringgold grove, preceding
and following which will occur the Fra- j
zier parade. Mr. Frazier has his high (
hat, white trousers, red sash and other
paraphernalia in readiness. The gallant
steed upon which he will ride at the head
of the procession has been in training for '
weeks past, and it will be as lively as
horse powders can make it. Mr. Frazier '
has trained it to some entirely new evolutions,
and he guarantees it to hold its
head and tail higher than ever before.
Keep in mind the date and watch out for
the great equestrian feats of Mr. Frazier, 1
the greatest living chief marshal in the
known world. <

him the hearty co-operation, the love and
esteem of the people among whom he

Improving the Telephone System.
Extensive improvements are being ,
made to the lines of the Jefferson County j
Telephone Company and its connections, |
which will increase the accommodations i
for the benefit of the company's patrons. |
A new copper trunk line is now being (
built from Hagerstown to Shepherdstown, t
which will give these places a direct connection,
instead of having to send messages
by way of Martinsburg. Another j
trunk line is to be built between Shep- '
herdstown and Martinsburg by way of '
Billmyer's Mill, and a third line is under
construction from Shepherdstown to |
Charles Town. The subscribers south of .
Leetown have been transferred from the
Shepherdstown exchange to that at
Charles Town, a new trunk line having
been completed between Leetown and
Charles Town. An additional line will
be built between Charles Town and Harper's
Ferry.
Another supre.ne court, this time in the
Keystone State, has decided that townships,
municipalities, counties or States
maintaining water bars in public highways
are responsible for damages to automobilists
or their cars, caused by contact
with these unnecessary obstructions.
The policy of our up-to-date County
Turnpike Commissioner, M. T. McDon
aid, we are pleased to note, is to obliter- ate
these unnecessary and objectionable
obstructions in Jefferson as rapidly as
possible.?Charles Town Spirit.
We do hope that Mr. McDonald, if I
this is his policy, will soon get around to j
that trap at the foot of the hill at Ambrose |
Hendrick's place on the Shepherdstown r
and Halltown pike. It used to be real J
bad. Some months ago it was "repaired"
and an iron pipe put in, since which .
time it has been much worse than it was j
before. It is a costly trap for automobiles
and even the rural mail carrier is <
thinking of putting in formal complaint.

Col. George W. P. Vernon and J.J.
Kahler, of Baltimore, survivors of Cole's J
Cavalry, have been at Harper's Ferry re- j
cently arranging for a reunion to be held {
at Island Park on September 12, and have
extended invitations to all the old ex-Confederates
to join them.
The above news item is going the rounds j
of the papers. The operations of Cole's
cavalry in this section are too well remembered?even
though fifty years have
passed?to cause the old Confederates or .
any other persons of this section to be ,
very enthusiastic over the proposed re
union. A well-known Confederate re- ,
marked the other day that he enjoyed fra- j
ternizing with the boys who wore the j
blue, but he had to draw the line at Cole's j
cavalry?he knew it too well I

Has Appendicitis. '
John Hill, the young son of Mr. and j
Mrs. E. R. Hill, of this place, developed a
case of appendicitis this week, and yesterday
was taken to the Charles Town j
hospital by Dr. Burwen, wnere an operation
was at once performed. His condition
was very critical, but it is hoped
that he will pull through. John is twelve
years old.
Railroad News.
Yesterday morning Norfolk & Western
passenger train No. 13 narrowly escaped
being wrecked at Old Chapel, three miles
south of Berry ville. The train wasspeeding
along at its usual rate when the engine
struck a railroad spike that had been
fastened in a joint between two rails on
a curve. The locomotive was derailed,
but all the other cars kept the track, and
save for a severe bump or two no damage
was done and no person was hurt?another
example of Norfolk & Western
good luck. In less than hali an hour the
engine was gotten back on the rails and
proceeded on its way, everybody being
thonLrfiil that thAra haH Kaph ctirh 3 fnr

tunate escape from serious trouble. Investigation
leads to the belief that the
spike was put in the track by a colored
boy who lives in that locality. The railroad
company will use every effort to
have the offender brought to justice.
Robert Carmichael, who has been;teleegraph
operator at the Norfolk & Western
passenger station in Shepherdstown
for the past year, lost his place last week
because of making a slight mistake in the
delivery' of a train order. In five years'
service for the N. & W., this was Mr.
Carmichael's first "break," and he feels
the matter very keenly. He has gotten a
position on the Connellsville extension of
the Western Maryland Railroad, and left
Saturday night for his new place. His
friends here hope that he may soon be
reinstated, as he was an able and accommodating
railroad man.

train to Hen-Mar today tor the Odd Pellows'
reunion, although earnest requests
were received from almost every town
along the line. Mr. Bevill was very sure
it wouldn't pay, and wouldn't take any
risk whatever. Such caution is commendable,
even if it is exasperating.
The B. & O. Railroad has cut out the
sale of liquor on its dining cars between
Baltimore and New York.

school officers and citizens' day.
Thursday morning has been set apart
for school officers and citizens' day.
Feeling assured of the great benefit derived
from such a conference, the State
has agreed to pay $1.50 to every member
of the board of education who attends
this session. We hope that there will be
a full attendance. All citizens, and in
fact anyone who is interested in education,
are most cordially invited to attend
any or all of the sessions.
Those from a distance can find ample
accommodations at moderate price. 1 he
State Superintendent of Schools has signified
his intention to visit the institute
some time during the week. Let us
give him a most hearty welcome.

County Superintendent.

Perhaps you have noticed that the oldfashioned
brown sugar, like our mothers
used to cook with, has practically disappeared
from the market. 1 here is a reason.
This reason consists of a "joker"
in the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, in the
form of a cclor test known as Dutch
Standard No. 16. When this test was
fixed it meant the barring out of the oldfashioned
brown sugar, cheap and good,
and that is why this brand of sugar has
disappeared from the market. Whenever
i tariff bill is in the making the agents of
[he Sugar Trust are on hand to see that
the "Dutch Standard" is maintained, and
they had no difficulty in getting the makirs
of the Payne-Aldrich law to accede
to their wishes.
