Farmers Wool Prices and Postwar Debate in West Virginia
The Shepherdstown paper notes farmers have not sold wool at 16 cents per pound in a long time amid a broader critique of a protracted Republican administration. It highlights rising antiwar sentiment, looming taxation, and Congress action on naval and army growth. The column cites Wall’s letter on freight costs, rail delays, and criticizes railroad managers. It recalls West Virginia political maneuvering, Senator Block’s accusations, and ongoing patronage fights, ending with upbeat notes on recent federal appointments for West Virginians.

Road Routes in Jefferson County Foreseen for State System
Dear Mr Editor. A June 17 meeting of the three county courts in the Eastern Panhandle weighed routes for the State road system. Proposals include Charles Town to Martinsburg via Leetown and Kearneysville, and a Shepherdstown option. The State Highway Commission will decide based on cost, grades, alignment, distances, and rail crossings, with county land or tax support required for rights of way. Jefferson County plans for a north south corridor linking Charles Town Martinsburg and Shepherdstown with connections to Harper's Ferry and Clarke County, weighing routes to minimize railroad crossings and serve county needs. The final choice hinges on cost, available funds, and alignment to form a robust statewide road network.
