Shepherdstown Register from Shepherdstown, West Virginia • 2

Agister 1 ft L. SNTDBR, Editor and Publisher, W. Va. 1 Tyymday, Jakuart 30, 1908. The West Virginia Legislature convened in apeoial aeasion at Obarlaston on Tuesday.

A number of bills hare been introduced to carry out the reo- ommendationa named by the Gorernor in hia oall, and there seems to be a diapoeition to expedite matters aa fast as possible. Bryan has been in Washington thia week looking after his polit- 1 ical fences, and he seams to hare mended them until they are bull strong and pig tight. The opposition that had been ao much talked about seems to have faded away, and it looks as if he has the nomination al- ready in his vest pocket. i Thb first political announcement of the year is published this card of Frank Lee Bushong, candi- date for prosecuting attorney for Jef- i fsrson county. Mr.

Buahong is a re- spected young attorney of Charles Town, who by his probity and indua- try gained the regard of the people generally and will have a very large vote. While not a native of Jefferson county, he is a Virginian by birth, having come here from Shenandoah coonty, and is the son of a federate veteran. His individual merit, though, is the most important thing to be considered in connection with the responsible office that he seeks, and in this respect we can assure our readers that be measures up to a high standard. Although Governor Dawson did not iuolude iu bis call to the Legislature, as nad Desu expected, the local option measure, the temperance people have lound a way to bring the aubject to tne attention of that body. It is proposed to oifer an amendment to the Siate constitution providing lor proaibition, as has been done in several States, and alrsady the House ol Delegatea has passed to ite second reading a resolution presented by Delegate Williams submitting to the people at tne next election a constitutional amendment to prohibit the manufacture aud sale of liquor in West Virginia.

We hope that our Delegate, Hon. C. M. Wetael, and our Senators, Hon. William Campbell and Hon.

Gray Saver, will give to tneir constituents the vote upon tme amendment. Those persons deeuous of having the county undertake the building ol one or more bridges across tne Shenandoab river are again active, and on Monday presented a petition to the County Court praying tnat the county construct a ondge across tne river at the end of Bloomery pike. Tbe petition was signed by 148 persons. This matter has been before the court a number of limes and has always been rejected. Tne court has, however, appointed a commission to examine into the question, and it will again be considered.

Tne tact that no bridge can be built unless the county issues bonds has been a fatal objection heretofore, ana will doubtless prove so again. The county already has a very heavy bonded indebtedness, and the people will be mighty slow to lacrease this burden, however much they may sympatuize with the unfortunate tew who live east of the Shenandoah. Much interest was created in Shepherdatown last week by the suggestion that the Norfolk Western Kailway is considering plans for the erection of a new station at this place. Major 0. 0.

Taliaferro, the company's right-of-way agent, was hare and at- oared prices on the properties of R. S. 1 M. Hoffman, G. M.

Beltxhoover, Jos- eph L. Oookus and Robert G. Miller, who own the land and buildings be- twoen the present station and yard of 1 the eompany and Washington street. 1 Under the terms of the franchise re- oently granted the railroad by the town council, it must build a new sta- i tion within the corporate limits, and 1 it is generally agreed that the point 1 just south of Washington street is the most desirable place for it. If the company should purchase the proper- i ties named it would secure an ideal 1 location, with plenty of room for both its passenger and freight business, and it would be entirely satisfactory to our town people and the patrons of the road.

We hope that our much- 1 needed new station is now in sight, and that when it does come it will be a model of beauty and convenience. 1 i i How's This? I We offer One Hundred Dollars Re- ward for any case of Catarrh that can- i not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J. Chenky Toledo, O.

Through the courteey of County Commissioner Nelson T. Snyder the iditor of the Register made a visit ast week to the Jefferson county almshouse near Leetown. It was only a emporary visit, we wish to say at the though it may be repeated for i longer period if our delinquent subcribers Jo not hasten to pay up. The occasion was the quarterly meeting of he County Court for business and all the members of the fourt were John C. 3ums, N.

T. Snyder, Daniel N. Roberts and J. Wm. well as Dr.

H. P. Hirst, the jhysician to the alma-house. After a pleasant drive over the good oads through a rich section of the sounty, by way of Shenandoah June ion, Brown's Crossing, and Wageley'e Shop, what is variously called the )oor farm, tha alms-house and the sounty infirmary was reached. It redly isn't a poor farm on the oontrary, is a fine farm, containing 220 aerea well-cultivated limestone land, with every appearance of prosperity, ft has a fine large bank barn, erected i few years ago, with all necessary mt-buildings needed upon a first-elass arm, the fences are well kept up, the mplements housed and protected, and he live stoek in exeellent condition, rhe main building is a large brick nansion, and around it are detached itructures occupied by the; inmates tnd needed for the work of the well kept and presenting a tidy and thrifty appearance.

The excellence of the management )f the Jefferson county alms-house is lot only a matter of justifiable county pride, but a eubject of favorable comment throughout the State. This is argely due to the fact that the same has had oharge for nearly forty rears. In 1869 Charles G. Littleton was appointed manager, and from that until his death in for a brief period of lees than one successfully oonducted the place. Qe was a Christian father was a minister of the gospel from Clarke well as good business man, and the unfortunates committed to his care were treated with gentle consideration, while his energy good management of the farm kept expenses down to a low figure.

At his dsath his soun-law, the late Mason Hiedwohl, was ippointed superintendent in his place, tnd he gave equal satisfaction until lis death 1 tit December. At Mr. Hiedwohi's death it seemed ts if there would have to be a change in the management, but Mr. Littleton's four and acjomplished ladies who had long bsen ictive as helpers in the management )f the offered to carry the work, and the County Court wisely appointed Miss Kate Littleton superintendent. With the ince of her sisters and Francis Littleion, the Bprightlj and capable young grandson of the elder Mr.

Littleton, ihe is conducting the institution in the nost satiafaotory manner, and its af'airs were never in better order. Miss Littleton is not what might be called 'a new woman," but ia a capable and lady of high character md unusual ability who commands he respect of all who know her, and fully competent to do the work ahe ias undertaken. At the present time there are inmates of the alms-house? nen, women and children, white and Some have rooms in the nain building and others have their quarters in the adjoining structures. L'hey are properly clothed and sheltered and are given substantial and ivell-prepared food in abundanee, the products of the farm being largely ised lor their sustenance. They all iare great respect and affection for the Misses that ia, the chronic grumbler.

They aslist in the work of the place and do luch chores as they are able, but the mm total of their labor is not great, 'or after the aged and infirm and who are of weak mind are elimnated, there are not many left. Two Shepherdstown persons are among the wnite woman and a )red woman. There is a natural repugnance at the thought of going to the "poor-houee," and on the part of aany a blind, unreasoning terror and ierce reeietance, but once there they toon become contented and the comfort does much to mitigate the Rental anguish. The chronio grumbler, referred to ibove, is one of the oharactera of the place. He has been there for a long time, and, being about eighty years of ige, he teele at liberty to freely criti)ise, until hie criticism has taken the form ot continual grumbling.

Indeed, ae is the sort ot grumbler you read ibout, but seldom meet. He confifeudally informed the writer that they did not have the right sort of religion the sort they jsed to have and the kind he was orought up on; ths place wasn't farmed right; they didn't cultivate the corn properly as he ejected about half-pint of tobacco juice at one discharge, he confided that they didn't illow tobacco enough his room wasn't efficiently warm, aud they even made him hang pictures on the walls self; they wouldn't take him to town when he wished to go; the other a iL ncio uui vruai tutfj UUgUl IU ind no one about the place bad the respect for old age that they ought to have; he blamed the doctor because be didn't prevent hie patients from iyiDg the food waa not what it ihould be, and while he admitted that the inmates had had roaat fowl a day cr two previous, it waa juat tantalising him, for they knew he had no wouldn't get him any. The grumbler has a local reputation, which, we are convinced, doean't begin to do him justice. The members of the court and visiters enjoyed a splendid bountiful country repast of the sort that sticks to the ribs, and the cook same in for many compliments. After the dinner had been enjoyed and the commissioners had finished their business we came away with a much better opinion of the county poor farm than ever before.

And yet we wouldn't care to become a permanent resident, as well managed as the place is. For while it is a noole charity, and one of the things that shows the beauty of Christian civili zation, in that the people care eo wel for God's poor and unfortunate onei yet after all there must be man; dreary hours, and waiting, friendless for the inevitable hour when on shall be carried to the little grave yard along the lane cannot but sad reflections. Still, mercifully, a the body tails, usually the intellec too becomes less sensitive, and most them probably take no thought of th are they not fed an clothed and sheltered from the win ter's storms SHARPSRURG NEWS.

Reporter. )f i- Shepherdstown People With Weak Luntrs Need Vinol. Many people inherit weak lungi which are likely to be attacked by consumption. So also are lungs weaki. ened by dieeaee or by a stubborn oough.

No matter what the cause, Vinol strengthens weak lungs and gives one a the power to throw off wasting dieft eases. The reason that Vinol has such power to heal and strengthen is beo oause it contains in a highly concenb trated form all of the curative, nal and strength-ereating elements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh codj' livers, with the useless, nauseating oil eliminated and tonic iron added. So sure are we of what Vinol will do that we ask every person in Shepherdstown suffering from weak lungs, stubborn hacking coughs or any disease to try Vinol on our offer 6 to return money if it fails.
