Mr.. William Kelley, local editorand
business manager of the Winchester
Times, died Thursday in Dallas, Tex
as. He was on an excursion through
Western Texas with the Virginia
Press Association. His Wife and
daughter were with him. The fmme-

General Palmer, communicating
chief of the Grand Army of the Re
public, is said to haze used bitter
language about the Confederate flag
at a banquet in Brooklyn, styling it
. that sinking old rag of treason. -.
There are others, doubtless, who
have on numerous occasions expe-
rienced the unsavoriness of the Com
federate banner, but unlike General.
Palmer, they appreciate and respect.
the bravery and devotion that bore it
in the battle front.

sale of these machines throughout the
south, and Charles Town being cen
