advanced there may be gained trom the
tact that the bean season is about over

aspires to be sheritf of Jefferson county.
He names as his deputies George C. Link,
ot Shepherdstown, and T. Grove Henkle,
of Harper's Ferry district, with W. B. Adder,
ot Charles Town, as jailor. Mr.
Engle is highly regarded in his home district,
where he is known as a man of
ability and integrity, and he will unquestionably
get a large vote. Mr. Link, of
this place, is one of our most popular
men, and he has a wide circle ot friends
who will do their best to help him elect
his ticket.
Our friend J. Strider Moler, candidate
for sheritf, asks us to say that he is still
in the fight, notwithstanding the reports
that are being circulated that he had withdrawn
because of ill health. Mr. Moler
is recovering from his recent illness, and
in a few days expects to be out again and
will devote his time to his candidacy.
He asks that his friends stand by him and
help him all the more because he has been
sick for the past month or two.
Announcement is made this week of
the candidacy of Floyd L. Wat^bn for the
important office or assessor tor Jetterson
county, with T. Ogle Link and Charles
Langdon as deputies. Mr. Watson and
his deputies have been very popular officials
during their current term,and their
friends say that they are entitled to reelection.

her knees so badiy that she has since
been confined to her bed. Miss Rickard
has been kept in the house for the past

sorry to know that she has again met
with an accident.
Mrs. William M. Sheetz, of Martinsburg,
formerly of Shepherdstown, was
painfully hurt on Tuesday at her home in
the former place by falling down a stairway
while carrying a heavy chair. Besides
many minor cuts and bruises, she
received a very painful gash in the head.
Burial of J. L. Link. >
The funeral service of John Luther
Link, whose death in Brooklyn, N. Y., A
was announced in last week's Register, a
took place last Sunday afternoon in the ii
Lutheran Church at Uvilla, the service 7
being conducted by Rev. 1. D. Worman, o
the pastor. The body was interred in a
Elmwood Cemetery Shepherdstown, in a F
vault especially prepared under the direc- F
tion of Mr. Link's son, Ernest Albert o
Link, of Brooklyn. The latter has bought b
fourteen lots in this cemetery, which he e
designs tor a burial place for his own V
tamily and other members of the con- a
nection. A double vault was prepared S
last week at great expense, much ot the ti
excavation being in limestone rock. The n
body of his mother, which had been in- C
terred in the plat a year or two ago in a A
steel vault, was taken up and reinterred v
by the side of his father, where they will tl
rest side by side for untold years in all L
probability. Each vault was constructed u
of brick and concrete, and in each was y
placed a heavy and costly box of copper, o
in these copper boxes being placed the v
caskets containing the remains of the g
husband and wife. In each grave was u
deposited a heavy steel cylinder contain- ii
ing a written history of the Link family, o
Atter the caskets had been placed in the a
copper receptacles the latter were locked a
and hermetically sealed and arched over e
w ith brick set in Portland cement. Over v
the a.ches a heavy coating ot concrete ti
was then placed, and deep concrete foun- tt
dations tor tombstones or monuments A
were also put down. o
It is Mr. Link's purpose to beautify S
this plat with flowers and shrubbery and ir
to adorn it in accordance with plans he o
has in mind, making it an especially at- tt
tractive section of (jod's acre. It is said S
that he ultimately expects to rebury here a
the ashes ot those of his kinfolk who a
have been interred in ancient burying P
grounds which are now in a neglected tt
condition, and mark their graves appro- tc
priately. The Link tamily is one of the
oldest in this section, and during the century
and a half that has passed since they J
first settled hereabouts hundreds of them
have passed away and been committed ?
to mother earth. It will be an arduous
task to locate their graves and re-inter
them in this cemetery, but it would be a "
noble thing to have them lie together in *
one common plat there to await that great
day when the trumphet shall sound and ?
the earth and the sea shall give up their P
dead. "
d
Fine Entertainment Friday Night.
The "Evening With Shakespeare" in
Shepherdstown on Friday night of this ,1
week promises to be the most delightful P
entertainment of the year. As heretofore
announced, the celebrated artists, Mr. [

services, presenting an attractive series "
of readings and scenes from Shakespeare,
among which are selections from "As
You Like It," "Merchant of Venice," \
"Julius Caesar," "Macbeth," "Hamlet," jJ
"Romeo and Juliet," and " The Taming Pi
of the Shrew." Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd
have national reputations as Shakesperean v
performers, and they should attract a very
large audience. For between acts an
attractive musical programme has been L
arranged, including songs and piano
number by our best local musicians. w
The proceeds are for a very good cause B
?the hospital reliet fund?and as all the C
performers tender their services free of tt
charge, it is hoped that a handsome sum yi
will be realized. After the performance oi

Mistook Hair Tonic For Booze.
John Manning, a colored man living 7
along the Shenandoah river near Manning's
Ferry, made a sad mistake recent- \
ly. He had been to the booze joints at h
Weverton, where he bought a liberal sup- h
ply ot their celebrated brands of whiskey,
a considerable quantity ot which he drank
before he reached home. Early next tl
morning he had that daik-brown taste in c
his mouth, and picking up a bottle of hair h
tonic in mistake for whiskey he took a
big drink of it without noticing any dif- n
ference between it and the Weverton -1
rotgut. He became very ill from the wood
alcohol that was the basis of the preparation,
and it took the united effort of C
several physicians to save his life. S

oor Service.
The unsatisfactory electric light and
ower service of the past few weeks has
aused a good deal of annoyance in Sheperdstown.
The current has been going
tt and on in the most erratic manner and
nemen have been cutting off the power
rithout taking the slightest trouble to
otity consumers. Last Thursday afteroon
when a part of the edition of the
!egister had been printed the current was
hut off without notice and came on no
lore until nearly dark. As a consequence,
early all of our edition missed the reg
lar mail, inquiries ai uam i\o. ana ai
eadquarters in Martinsburg brought no
atistaction, and the Register and every
ther user of power had to wait the slow
leasure of workmen somewhere along
te line. There's mighty poor managetent
somewhere.
"hose Who Move.
Mr. Strieby, of Hampshire county, W.
ra., has moved with his family to Sheperdstown,
occupying M. B. Baker's
ouse, corner of King and New streets.
P. C. Van Metre, who has been farming
he Obed Van Metre farm in Berkeley
ounty, has moved to Mrs. Billmyer*s
louse at Vanclevesville.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ware, Jr. have
loved to Collinwood farm, near Charles
'own, where they will make their home.
Horace Fraley has moved from Mrs.
Iris well's farm near Marvin Chapel to the
mall farm west of Martinsburg.
RELIABLE REMEDY RESTORES
KIDNEYS.
For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr. Ki.mer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney .liver and bladder remedy.
It is a physician's prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medicine.
Dr. Kilmer used it for years in his
private practice. It helps the kidneys,
liver and bladder do the work nature intended
they should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it will help you. No other remedy can
successfully take its place.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention the Shepherdstown Register.
