Miss Sarah Roller entertained the iridge club most delightfully at rd Hall last Friday night.

In addi- ion to the bridge players from this 'icinlty, there were several guests rom' Charles Town. Charles Byers, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. Byers, was quite sick the past vcck in Akron, Ohio, where he has Jccn cmn'oved in the automobile tire vorks.

His parents are greatly relieved to know that he is well again. The dance held in the firemen's hall ruesday night under the auspices of the American l.egion was a great success. More than WO persons were inj attendance, and the excellent music' kept the dancers moving in exhilarated' pleasure until one o'clock. Bob Wilkinson has come back fiom the poor-house. He pined for Shepherdstown, and so he has made his way back home, and having recovered his $aw-buck and axe he is again ready for business.

We suspect that he is like the groundhog, however? has come out a little too soon. We call attention to the advertisement this week of the Hurwitz Creamery Company, which has just begun operations in Charles Town. This is a thoroughly reliable concern, and if it is encouraged it ought to mean a great deal to the dairy and farm interests of this county. We hope that it may prosper. We direct especial attention to the' public sale ot A.

I) Crowe's property next Tuesday, February IOth, between Shcphcrdstown and Sharpsburg. Mr. Crowe will sell twelve good farm horses and colts, 27 thoroughbred Durham cattle, 18 shcc- and 20 hogs, besides a lot of farming implementMr. Crowe invites all his West Virginia friends and the public generally to attend this sale. The young folks of Kcarncysvillc will hold an apron social at the school-1 house on the evening of February 20th.

to which everybody is invited. The; I idea is to have every one wear an i apron, and pay for it at so much an i inch according to the measuremejit I of the strings around the waist line. The cunning young teachers of the school have been trying to get the editor of the Register to promise to attend on this basis. Uh, uh! Not us! Unless they offer a prize. Fast Thursday night an old gray' horse belonging to James Wright, col- ored, fell on the ice on the public I road near town, and could not regain its feet, dying a few hours afterward.
