SHEPHERD COLLEGE NOTES, The enrollment at Shepherd College has now reached 140. This includes only resident students, as the ap plications for enrollment in the cor respondence study department have only begun to come in. Late last fail an attractive folder announcng cor respondence courses given Miss Turner, Mrs. Gardiner, Mr. Muldoon, Mr Morrow and Mr. Kenamond, was sent up to 500 teachers in the East ern Panhandle and South Branch re gion. This is a new feature of the work at Shepherd College, but the plan was thoroughly tried out years on by the big schools, such as Uni versity of Chicago and University of Wiscon and has more recently been taken up by the leading normal schools of the country. Hardy coun ts teachers in particular have shown their appreciation of the advantages of instruction offered by mail, though a few enrollments have already been sent in from Berkeley, Preston, Mor gan and Jefferson counties. Some material equipment ordered earlier in the year for various de partments of the school is being re ceived. A case of chemicals had ar rived for the science laboratory, and the home economics tables are being equipped with electric hot plates fur nishing three ranges of heat. These, Werene [via be nele trical many through the agency o f Strider Mater, and John R. Crow is looking after the installation. Among our books for the library already received is The South in the Building of the Nation, in twelve volumes, published by the Southern Historical Publication Society of Rich mond, Va. It was a history “designed to record the South's part in the making of the American nation, to portray the character and genius, to chronical achievements and progress and to illustrate the life and traditions of the Southern people.” Three volumes are devoted to a history of the States and two to biographies of prominent men of the South. One volume is given to fiction and another to oratory, while the remaining volumes tell the political and econ omic history and describe the intel lectual and social life. Eight prom inent writers of the South did the work of editing, among then: Dr. W. L. Fleming, formerly of our own State University, but more recently profes sor of istry in Louisiana State Uni versity. The set is proving a popu lar addition to the large colection of historical books in the library of the school. . The college auditorium is taking on a decidedly better appearance, now that the painters are well along with the work of decorating the side walls R. Miller and Sons have fed the l ay Rev. J. D.

John Snyder, an aged resident of Shepherdstown, met with a serious acc ident last Monday afternoon. He had gone with W. Sandower down the river road for a load of raw, and had climbed on top of the load for the return trip home. He lost his Balance some way, and fell to he ground, injuring himself very bad l. He was brought to his home in this place and Dr. Burwell was sum moned to give him surgical attenineg . He found that the unfortunate man had broken two of his ribs and sus tained a bad fracture of the collar bone—indeed, the bone had been torn from its connections and was in such condition that it will be a long time in healing. He may not recover, if complications set in. Mr. Sniper has been a victim of a good tea misfortunes. A few years ago one his hands was ruined when he h it in a circular saw pear town, and has had practically no use of arm since that time.

An awful accident occurred last Monday afternoon about 3 o'clock at the quarries of the Standard Lime and Stone Company at Kearneyasville, by which Earl Welsh, aged about 22 years, son of Thomas Welsh, lost his right arm. The young man was rns ing a drilling machine, which is used to put down the holes in the limestone rock. In reaching across scine to oil one of the caught in a set of coges drawn into them almost up to the shoulder before the machine could be stopped. He was held so tightly by the cogs that he could not be ex tricated until the machine was taken apart, and when this was finally done it was found that the mangled arm was hanging only by shreds of read ers. Carl Fleming got his automobile and took the unfortunate young man to the King's Daughters’ Hospital in Martinsburg, where his injuries were attended to. Sujah McAllister, a young man from Shenandoah, Va., was the victim of a bad accident at Shenandoah Junc tion last Monday. He was employed in a gang of workmen who have been making repairs at the water tank and coal chute of the Norfolk Western Railway at the Junction, and in help ing to handle a heavy piece of lum ber it fell upon his leg and drove the bones of his ankle against each other with such force as to cause a very bad fracture. Dr. Burwell was called from Shepherdstown and gave him surgical aid, and later the young man was ta ken to Shenandoah on the evening train. His injury is a serious one and may result in a stiffened ankle. see Three Villa Recorded.
