The Norfolk Western Railway will sell excursion tickets to the Williams' Grove fair August 23-28. The rate from Shepherdstown is $2.00 for the round trip. Slimmer visitors say there's no prettier place than Shepherdstown and its surroundings. The only trouble is there are not enough places of entertainment to accommodate all who wish to come. The Martinsburg World says that Mr.

Otho Cushwa had a thirteen-acre field of wheat that yielded 47 bushels an acre. This is a phenomenal crop, provided the measurement was accurate. Mr. Charles D. Keplinger recently threshed 2,085 bushels of wheat in twenty hours for Mr.

Thomas Files. The wheat was the product of 08 acres. Mr. Kephnger's new threshing outfit is a fine one. The junior nines of Charlestown and Shepherdstown played an interesting game of ball here last Saturday.

Our boys did the courteous thing and allowed the visitors to win by a score of 16 to 10. A valuable riding and driving horse belonging to Mr. Horace Fraley and ridden by Mr. Charles Needy slipped on the road near the brick-yard Monday and broke its leg so badly that it had to be shot. Mrs Frank 'W.

Muzzey entertained a number of their friends at a whist party at Rockland on Monday evening, and dispensing their usual delightful hospitality made the occasion one of rare enjoyment. General Fassenger Agent W. B. Bevill, of the Norfolk Western Railway, announces that his company will sell tickets to Washington, D. August 12, 13 and 14, good for fifteen days, at one fare for the round trip.

The Boonsboroand Keedysville bands liave made engagements to play during the fair, and several others will doubtless be there. Mr. E.

Rush Turner, superintendent of the live stock department, informs us that the entries are coming in rapidly, and already half of the space is engaged. Secretary R. S. M. Hoffman requests us to say that persons who wish to engage tents should apply to him by the 21st of August.

The premiums for Morgan's Grove fair are exhibited in the show-windows of Mr. II. M. Loyns's shop. It is a large and attractive collection.

iui. charge of the office and moved it to his own building. lie is also express agent and postmaster, we are informed. Last Sunday a very large crowd of persons attended the United Brethren camp-meeting at Inwood Tark. During the day and evening excellent sermons were delivered by Be vs.

Lawrence, Bazle and others. Next Sunday will be the big day of the meeting, when prominent ministers will be in attendance. Bill Beaner, a well-known colored man who spends his time picking the banjo, had a narrow escape from death Monday night. He had gone to Ilagerstown on a freight train, and while lying asleep along the track he was struck by a train and badly hurt. Fortunately he was struck in the head, the least vital spot, and though he was cut in several places he was able to get home the following morning.

Several farmers were talking about the cost of raising wheat in a Winchester store the other day. One eaid it cost 27 cents per bushel, while others calculated the cost from 30 to 38 cents per bushel. There were seven men in the party. The price that each one said it would cost was put down and an average taken. It was found from the average made that the cost to raise wheat per bushel would be 32 cents.

Last Saturday the gasoline engine, the cider mill and the corn crusher formerly operated by Mr. M. L. Eichelberger were sold at public sale in Shepherdstown. The whole outfit was bought by Mr.

L. G. Brotherton for very low price. The machinery will be operated at the same place by Mr. Eichelberger.

Repairs have been made and it is now ready for business. On Tuesday and Friday of each week cider will be made, and the public patronage is asked. There was a fine rain here Tuesday evening. At some nearby points, however, it was more of a storm than was desired. A dispatch from Berryville says that place had the most severe rain and hailstorm experienced for years.

Along its path great damage was done to gaulens and growing corn crops. In Berry ville hail as large as walnuts fell, and the ground was white with hailstones. Trees were stripped of leaves and thousands of panes of glass broken. Cellars and low grounds were flooded and chickens and birds killed. The regular meeting of the town council was held last evening, all the members present.

The street committee was authorized to have certain repairs made to the streets, and where necessary to have the gutters cleaned and weeds removed. It was also ordered that the well at the east end of German street be repaired. Mr. W. L.

Arthur appeared before the council and offered to haul the dirt from the gutters and grade streets if desired, under direction of the street committee. Bills to the amount of $5.58 were passed and the council adjourned. County Court Proceedings. From the Charlestown Spirit we take the following report of the proceedings of the recent session of our County Court: Mr. George P.

Shirley was given a character certificate, preparatory to be admitted to the bar. Mr. C. II. Shipman qualified as a notary public.

George Mc-Daniel was granted a license to operate the ferry across the Shenandoah river, heretofore known as Manning's Ferry. Joseph L. Dailey was appointed overseer of the poor for liartir per Terry district. o. Rivera appointed road surveyor of precinct Xo.

1 in Shepherdstown district. S. Washington was appointed a commissioner to act in conjunction with Cleon Moore, appointed by the circuit court, in settling the accounts of sheriffs and other officers, district or municipal, in the county of Jeflereont Prosecuting attorneyForrest W.Brown was instructed to correspond with the proper railroad authorities with a view of having electric bells placed at the i crossings at Brown's Shop and Engle's i Switch on Main Stem of B. 0. Railroad, and Summit Point, Davenport's 1 crossing and Flowing Springs on the Valley Branch of said railroad.

T. B. Line is selling $4.00 mackin toshes for $2.50. Call early and secure one. An Evening: Drive.

The Register man took a drive the other evening down to Baberton by way of Moler's Cross Roads, and he has thought that what he noticed might not be uninteresting in print. The first impression is that the road from the Charlestown pike to Mr. Geo. M. Knott'B, four or five miles, is far superior to the average country road.

Mr. James M. Hendricks has been the supervisor for a number of years, and he has it in splendid order. Nearly all of it has been macadamized, and as the work is still being pushed it will not be long until every foot of it is piked. If all the road supervisors were like Mr.

Hendricks Jefferson county would soon get its name up. At Moler's Cross Roads it was very quiet. The regulars were either at work or at reckon most of them at the they had begun Jo gather to practice at pitching horse-shoes, in preparation for the great contest to take place between them and the Bakerton champions. Our next stop was at Mr. Jacob S.

Moler's, near Bakerton. That neighborhood is cettintr to be a sort of a Klondike region. Extensive repairs are being made to the old Virginia ore bank property, which has recently been bought by Mr. Edward Mealey, of Hagerstown, and the mine will be worked at its fullest capacity. The new iron ore bank just being opened by Messrs.

Moler and Trail is almost ready for business. The necessary machinery is in place, and in a few days active operations will be commenced on what we hope will be an important and profitable venture. During the past week or two several shafts have been sunk on the land of Mr. J. S.

Moler and the fact again established that he has iron ore of excellent quality almost as plentiful as clay. Mr. Moler showed us very rich deposits in the old workings, just waiting to be dug out and shipped away. Mr. J.

G. Hurst, of Harper's Ferry, is interested in opening up Mr. Moler's mine. The iron is not quite up to the Klondike gold in value, but it is just as certain to pay good money and a great deal easier to get at. A gathering storm prevented us from stopping at bustling little Bakerton, but we learned that business is just as brisk as ever at that place.

A stone crusher has recently been set up there, giving employment to an additional number of men. The stone that is not suitable for lime is made into ballast for the B. 0. Railroad. Mr.

John Baker, the manager of the works, did a generous thing the other day. When asked for a donation towards the new Lutheran Church at Uvilla he told the building committee to send down and get all the lime they needed, free of charge. It was a very liberal donation, and one greatly appreciated. Before we left Mr. us for our museum a tine specimen of an Indian grain pestle, which showed that it had been used long and often to pound the grain for their Mr.

Moler found it on his farm, which was evidently at one time an Indian camping-ground. Many interesting reminders of the red man have been found. The vicinity of his spring was evidently the home of an aboriginal arrow-maker, for innumerable chips of flint and arrows of various sorts may still be found. A few yards from his house is a mound in which area number of Indian graves, over which have grown oak trees of a peculiar sort. Several of the graves have been opened, and the crumbling bones of the savages that have lain there for perhaps hundreds of years exposed to the gaze of the curious.

No relics were found in any of them, however. We prize our -pestle very highly, and it makes another important addition to our growing collection. Confederate Entertainment In Town Hall. An entertainment for the benefit of the Daughters of the Confederacy will be held in the town hall on Saturday evening of this week. It was intended to have been held at Mrs.

McLean's lawn, but for various reasons it has been decided to have it in the hall. A very interesting programme has been arranged, which includes vocal and instrumental music, etc. Besides our local talent, visitors from Baltimore and Philadelphia will participate, and the entertainment will undoubtedly be an enjoyable one. An admission of ten cents will be charged, and refreshments will be sold in the hall at the usual prices. The public patronage is solicited.

Last Excursion to the Seashore. The Baltimore Ohio Railroad announces the last of the popular reduced rate excursions to Atlantic City. Cape May, Sea Isle City and Ocean City on Tuesdav. August 17th.

For aala at sac. aad by all On June 21 a man who claimed to be a member of the Government Secret Service Bureau, and who said his name was W.

A. Raymond, fell at the union dejot at Roauoke, aod it was thought he was severelv injured. He was taken to the Hotel Roanoke, where railroad surgeons were called and pronounced his injury as being a fracture of the hip. For three weeks he lay helpless with his hip in splints. His actions prior to his fall were noticed by several persons, and they at ODce set on foot an investigation, which showed that the man's name was not Raymond, but William A.

Rippey, and that he had had a similar accident in Indiana on the Big Four Railroad, with which he compromised by receiving $2,200 damages. It is alleged that he beat the city of Chicago in the same way and that he got several snug sums from insurance companies in which he held accident policies. It now transpires that the man was not injured at all, but was a contortionist and bad the power of dislocating his hip at will, making the bones creak together as though it was fractured.
