Mr.. /. B Sperow Is now getting
a lot of timber ut and sa we'd for
the purpose of erecting new barn
on me farm on which he Iesides,
near Falling Waters Church.
Mr.. Calvin Tice, who purchased
the Pendleton farm some years
ago, has got quite lumber OF
hands employed in quarrying rock
and cutting timber for the purpose
OF erecting new born, something
that Mr.. rice very much needed.
Mr.. George Brengle, living near
Broad Lane, has set and commen.
ced burning a kiln of lime, which
he intends spreading on his land
this spring. Mr. Brengle Is gen.
tIeman who moved into this neigh
hood from Pennsylvania a few
years ago.
The Martinsburg and Potomac
turnpike, north of Falling Waters
to the Potomac river, is in a most
wretched condition, and some
places are almost impossible, made
SO by hauling heavy loads when
the ground was soft. 1t needs a
good bed OF stone.
We learn that Mr.. jacob Ward
is still confined to his house by
sickness, and Is under the treat

We understand there will be a

been for years.
Mr. Alexander Poterfield will
move from the District in the
spring, to the farm recently pur-
chased by his father, Mr.. w. r..
Poterfield, known as the "mohler

We understand there was a
meeting held at this place on Last
saturday, the lin, to consider the
propriety of testing the validity OF
collecting the road tax on those

about sixty dollars was raised for
said purpose, a foolish move i
mink. Why don't they get pc
ition up and have it signed aud
present il to the County Commits

election to be held at the next gen.

at that time, and the manner in
which the debt has been handled, /
respectfully refer to them. They
were made acquainted with the con-
dition of affairs at the time, as was
the writer hereof, and have, no doubt
watched with interest, the manage
ment of affairs since, as certainly
have done,
Now for results. Four years have
not yet elapsed and the floating debt
of about $50, 900, including $500 Of
Unpaid gas bills has been reduced
to about $4,000. During this time
the interest on the bonded debt, and
on the overdue coupon debt has been
promptly met. Corporation bonds
which, at the time the Mayor and
Council took charge, were offered at
60 cents on the dollar and no buyers,
are now in demand at So cents, and
could be sold for 80 cents on the
dollar. Corporation orders are now
worth their face value in cash, and
promptly paid when presented to the
Treasurer. The credit of the corpor-
alton is at par everywhere; confidence
has been established, property has
advanced, the general aspect of at
fairs is bright, and with future good
management, the corporation would
soon be in a condition to relieve the
present heavy rate of taxation, and
at the same time meet its obligations
and keep up necessary work.
This, in brief, is some of the work
that has been accomplished by the
present Mayor and Council. An ex
animation OF the estimate of receipts
and expenditures for the past year,
as submitted by the Finance Com
mittee, and published at the time,
shows that it took every dollar of
revenue, and required the closest
economy to accomplish this.
In addition to this complete sys-
tenn of keeping the books of the cor
poration has been inaugurated, and
any citizen can go to the Mayors
Office at any time and get any infor-
nation desired as to the financial af-
fairs of the city. would suggest

of your valuable space, but allow
me, in conclusion, to challenge any

This is a pretty broad challenge, but
make it for the purpose of bring

in taking their prisoners away. Ross was
permitted to ride his own horse, while Payne
was mounted en- one led by soldier. As

The threat was answered by Payne, who
repeated the song in 4 slow, subdued tone.
and then sung it, making the old woods ring
with the tender melody and pathos of the
words. II touched the heart of the rough
soldier, who was not only captivated but con-
WINGED, and who said that the composer of
such a song should never 60 prison if he
could help it. And when the party reached
Milledgeville they were, after a preliminary
examination, discharged, much TO their sur
prise. Paine insisted il was because the
leader of the fquad had been under the ma
netic influence of Ross's conversation, and
Ross insisted that they had been saved from
insult and imprisonment by the power Of
"Home, Sweet Home" sung as only those
who feel can sing it.

Payne endured until the grave closed over

d .mro.ch,. JeaIou.y of Thomas.

ID amrosch's Jealousy of Thomas.
The Indianapolis Times cheerfully and
beautifully remarks: "Wherever DR.. Dam
rosch's orchestra has appeared in the West
he, or somebody in his behalf, has caused it
10 be given out that his orchestra was not as
good as 1t might have been but for the
mean and underhanded opposition of Mr..
Theodore Thomas, rival leader, who, it
was alleged, had engaged all the 6rst-class
musicians in New York, and compelled DR..
Damrosch to use inferior material. This
attack on Mr.. Thomas, and the attempt 10
build up Damrosch's reputation by bearing
down Thomss's, is the smallest kind of BUSH
meas, and the sooner DIR. Damrosch, or his
injudicious friends, stop it the better. 1t is
calculated to raise a suspicion that DIR.
Damrosch is trying 10 apologize for The fact,
patent to everybody who has heard the two
orchestras, that his lie decidedly inferior TO
Thomas's. Unauestienably it is fine or
chestra, but il might be better and still not
be equal 10 Thomas's. DR.. Damrosch is a
thorough musician and fine leader, but be
could better afford to admit frankly that his
orchestra is inferior to Thomas's than to try
10 conceal the fact behind an attack on the
great master. Theodore Thomas is the
greatest leader, organizer and master Of or
chestral music that America has seen. He
has done incomparably more for the devel
opment of a high musical taste in this ceun-
try than any other man has done or is likely
TO do soon."

The latter, built by William Rufus, was sui.
ficient until 1920, aud is fairly represented
in the drawing OF Gravelot. In 1920 the
courts now abost to be abandoned were

demands of the common-lsv tribunals.
This led to the erection of the palace dedi-

TWO LOVERS.
One here under the grass
And one in the grass-green sea-

That both of them died for me.
Love Is too much for one
O1e love was enough for me;
One lies under the sun,
And one in the sunlit sea.
Oh, I have loved too late,
Too late have loved the sea.
Why should stay to mate
With the earth that mated me?
Would that the sea might give:

And he who, alasi loved me-

The Composer Or the ..DevIr. waIl.r


Bedrich Smetsna ia Bohemian composer
and piano virtaos0, and was born in Let's
mishl, in Eastern Bohemia, on the I'd of
March, 1924. Like Mozart, he made his first
appearances in public as q pianist when but
six years oil age. After going through the
gymnasium (high schoo) in Brod, Prague
and Pilsen, he devoted himself entirely to
music. He was for a time concert master
to Emperor Ferdinand. In 1856 he became
director OF the Philharmonic Society in
Gothenburg, Sweden, where he played pub
licly with great success. In 1861 he returned
to Prague, where he became, in 1866, the first
director Of the Bohemian Opera, holding the
position until, in 1874, he met with Beetho-
VEINS tragic fate, and was obliged to give it
up on account of his almost total deafness.
Since that time he has devoted himself ex-
,clusiveiy to composition. His most celebra-
ted operas are: The Brandenbergers in Bohe-
mia, The Sold Bride, Daiibor, a Kiss, and
Tbs Secret, which have all been put on the
Bohemian stage, and have met with the
heartiest reception. The plot of the latest
opera, The Devils Val, which the title-page
calls conference.-the, is founded on an old
popular legend, which accounts for the
grsndly picturesque group of rocks, situated
in the beautifully wooded ravine near Brodi,
right in the bed Of the Moldavia, and called
the Devils Wall, by explaining them to be
the rulDs OF u wall once erecLeQ Dy the devil,
10 change the course of the river for the pur-
pose of gaining an evil end. Smetana has
interpreted this NEUROLOGICAL subject with a
fullness and richness of sentiment, and above
all with a touching playfulness of humor
quite his own. Such wealth and delicate
freshness of melody we have not met since
Mozart's day. Regarding musical cultiva-
ton he stands on the very hight of his art.
In Instrumentation he excels, and in coun-
terpart he is no less a master treating the
individual voices with freedom and beauty
which have commanded the highest admira-
ton of every musician 10 whom his compost
tious have been accessible. The opera forms
perfect totality, of which no part could be
lett out without marring the whole, and, a
thing that is very rarely the case, it is played
exactly as it came from the composers pen,
without any cutting whatever. In a word,
he is flushed master OF form. In the con-
ception of his characters he is very clear and
precise, and every note is in harmony with
his conct ption.
