The Register is the leading Democratic journal of West and is a live, progressive journal in every respect.

F. Xicodemus, Sharpsburg, presented General E. A. Carman, Antietam battle-field commissioner, with what is likely the largest turkey on record. It is a handsome bronze gobbler, two years old in May last, and the gross weight was 52 pounds.

The mammoth fowl dressed 43 pounds. The first good snow of the season fell Tuesday afternoou and night, reaching a depth of about three inches.

Postmaster Reinhart informs us that the receipts at the postoflice, both postal and money orders, hare been much larger so far this month than at any previous time since he has had charge of the office. The number of packages mailed at this season has about doubled this year. This would and would not indicate hard times. At first sight it would mean prosperity, but as a friend suggested when he was mailing a good many parcels, times were 6uch that he had to cut his presents to fit the mail instead of the express.

Sudden Death of Miss Annie Hunter. Our community was shocked today by the announcement of the death of Miss Annie Hunter, daughter of Mrs.

Mary A. Hunter, which occurred at her home in this place between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning. Miss Hunter had been sick for a couple of weeks with fever and rheumatism, though her condition was not regarded as serious. Last night she was thought to be a little better, but early this morning she became much worse, and a few hours later she died from heart failure. Miss Hunter, whose sudden death will be so deeply deplored by our people, was 32 years of age.

She was born in Pennsylvania, but her parents moved to this place when she was but four years of age. She has lived here ever since, and has always been a most highly respected young lady. She was an active and useful member of the Lutheran Church, and her death wilj be greatly regretted by those who found in her so willing and cheerful a helper in all departments of church work. The deceased is survived by a mother to whom her death is a most serious blow, and by one brother, Mr. J.

E. Hunter, of Moundsville, this State. ITT. 3 x. xl exierni IU lUUU uui sim.cn- lujj.iLhy.

The funeral arrangements have not pet been made. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jolly, of MidJleway, have the most earnest sympathy of a whole oommunity in their most crushing bereavement. Last week we noted the death of one of their children, since which time they have been called upon to give up two others, aged respectively 6 and 2 years, leaving them Miss Mollie Haycock, daughter of the late James H.

Haycock, died at the residence of her brother, Mr. Wm. Haycock, in this county, near Cunningham's Mill, on Sunday evening last, aged about 40 years. A tumor weighing eighty pounds was removed from her body a short time before her death. Mr.

Elijah Rinehart, father-in-law of Mr. Jacob S. Reinbart, of Moler's died last Sunday at his home in Mineral county, this State, aged 85 years. His aged wife is also critically ill. The deceased was one of the most re spected men in Mineral county.

Josiah Thomas, a highly-respected of Keedysville, died last week, iged 68 years. Ltterary Entertainment. The Parthenian and Ciceronian literary societies of Shepherd College a most creditable entertainment the colleee hall last night. It was contest for literary honors between the two societies which had put the members of each on their mettle and for which earnest preparation had been made. The first contest was two recitations by Miss Margaret Welshans and Miss Lulla Reynolds.

Both were of the highest excellence, but after lengthy consideration the judges deeded in favor of Miss Welshans. An sration by W. Gregory Marten on 'The Higher Citizenship," and one by A. W. Porterfield on "What is Our Palladium," were carefully prepared ind well delivered efforts that merited the applause they received.

Mr. Mar. ten received first honors, but Mr. For. terticld deserved high praise also.

An cration on LaFayette, by George Hill, was pitted against a recitation by Miss Janie Strider, and the former won. It wasan excellent address and delivered iffectively. Miss Strider's rendition t)f "Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii," was such as to reflect the highest credit upon the fair reciter. The judges were Rer. C.

H. Rockey ind Messrs. J. S. Bragonier and H.

L. Snyder. Their decision gave the victory to the Parthenians, who were, of course, highly delighted at the success af their contestants. Enjoyable vocal music was rendered by the school, Miss Nellie Butler playing with much abilihv flip niano and Miss Maud Gatrell md Mr. Leroy Hendricks accomjanying on the violin.

The entertainment was in every respect an enjoyable one, and showed considerable progress in elocution and literary ability among its participants. Shooting: Scrape at At Sharpsburg Tuesday hight, in the bar-room of the City Hotel, Clifton Swain, a canal boatman, somewhat drunk, invited Charles Denner to take a drink with him. Denner wasn't thirsty and declined. Swain thereupon made use of bad language, and finally knocked Denner down.

The wounds are not serious. Oranges, lemons and bananas ai J. N. Trussell's. Among me Churches.

c-s iv t. Major Fleming Resigns. At a special meeting of the town council on Monday night Mayor J. S. Fltming tendered his resignation as mayor of Shepherdstown, and the council accepted the resignation.

Mr. Fleming's reason for resigning was that, although the council had ordered the law against shooting firecrackers, iko 011 UC CL11UIVCU UUUUg at the same time a couple of members of the council sold these articles. He 1 didn't exactly feel like taking upon i himself the opprobrium of enforcing a law the means for violating which were furnished by members of the council. 1 Recorder Wm. A.

Chapline will act as mayor until a new official is appointed, We think the state of affairs in our 1 town demands serious consideration- The drunkenness and disorderly conduct that has been allowed uf-on our streets ought to be stopped, and the only way to stop it is by a stern enforcement of the laws. Our town ought to pay a salary to a mayor which would justify him in giving attention to the duties of the office and be a recompense for the unpleasant features connected with it. If the mayor is paid a decent salary he can then be held accountable and we have no doubt there would be far leas disorder upon our streets. Prompt action ought to be taken by our people in this matter. A Word to the Wise.

We would advise our farmer friends to reflect a little before they have their sale bills printed the coming season. Do not be cajoled into having your advertising done where it will do you little good, simply because it is otfered to you cheap. If you have it done for 50 cents or a dollar, you can be sure you get no more than your money's worth. We know it is annoying to be importuned and bored half to death for the job, and we know some give the work where they do not wish it simply to get rid of those who bore them. They have been sorry for it afterward when they have found the returns did not foot up much.

The Keoistf.r will do the work at fair and reasonable prices. It will not charge one man 50 cents, another a dollar and someone else all it can get out of him for the same work. The Register has a circulation among the solid, substantial people, the people among whom it pays to advertise, and fair treatment is asaured all who deal with it. Don't be tempted with low prices, i or no prices at all. Either you will get no more than you pay for, or else you will pay very dear for it in sonic other way.

The Modern Mother Has found that her little ones are improved more by the pleasant Syrup of Figs, when in need of the laxative effect of a gentle remedy, than oy any other, and that it is more acceptable to them. Children enjoy it and it benefits them. The true remedy, Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company only. Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many physical ills, which vanish before proper efforts? rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual disease.

but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly bT all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you purchase.

that you have the genuine arti- i cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- 1 fomia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system Is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the nvrftt skillful physicians, hut if in need of a laxative, one should have the liest. and with the 1 well-informed everywhere, Kyrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and give? most general satisfaction.
