Herald. That he was an able editor
none will deny. Yet like all mankind
he may have had faults. If he had
none he certainly was an exception.
In his new field of labor he has Our
best wishes for a successful future.
Those who have recently taken hold
have also our hearty wishes for a
bright and prosperous future. AS a
local correspondent we have always
aimed to do our duty as far as intelli-
gence and honor would lead US, with
malice toward none, and friendly
disposition toward all. 1t has been a
source of pleasure to us to be number
ed with the correspondents of the
Herald. If our compositions were ap-
preciated by its readers; if they have
profitted moderately by it we feel that
our efforts were not in vain, but as the
retiring editor correctly says the time
comes to all to say goodbye. as other
pursuits require all the time at COM
mand and justice to the Heard as well
as to myself cannot be accomplished.
In making my exit from its columns |
feel confident the space will be filled
by one more able and intelligent in
giving newsy, spicy reading matter to
its patrons. With ardent wishes for
the success of all, permit me to say
pleasantly, yet with some solemnity,
adieul RALF.

Hotel at Cherry Run.

CHERRY Run, ". VA, March co.
The Messrs Files. who purchased the
Wisner tract of land here several
months ago, and who have already
two large saw mills in operation, will
in few days commence grading q
street and lay off several acres in
building lots. One lot, adjacent TO
the railroad, has been sold to gen
tleman IN Hagerstown, who will in
a short time commence building a
small hotel and restaurant OF the site.
This will fill long felt want. as many
passengers have to spend some time
here waiting for trains on the West
ern Maryland and Baltimore and Ohio,
but have never had the advantage of
hotel No doubt when this becomes
generally known among the travelling
public, the proprietor will do lucra-
tive business.

Moler Avenue.

Now little Billie can work some
good ticks in on the condition of our
roads. We are fully in accord with
Ralph's plans that call for better ones.
The whole system needs revision, or
what is better, totally abolished.
What seemed to be ample provision
for good roads has proved utterly in
adequate. An entirely new plan
should be tried.
One OF the worst places of road over
which it was our misfortune to be
obliged to travel is the Schopper Ford
road, between Frankenberry town and
Ridenour school. A fat bottomed
boat with mud paddles could be floated
far more easily than could wagon be
pulled through.
The board of Opequon met at Riden-
our school on Saturday, and as we
never miss chance to meet the genial
members we sailed forth with that
determination, little dreaming what a
temper-trying Herculean task lay in
its execution. We leaped like kan
CARGO over puddles and bitches, we
wriggled through picket fences,
crawled under bars, was pinioned on
wire fence, and while hanging head
down saw gray horse disappear, all
but the stump of tail, and scratched
and thoroughly angry as we were, a
keen sense of the ridiculous dawned
upon US and we exclaimed, at would
be capital idea to leave the old gray
as floating buoy, signalling danger
and upon that old stump to tack an
advertisement calling for an entirely
new plan of road supervision and of
fering as a reward the old gray mare
? to the man who could evolve thor
e oughly successful system. BY thai

Notes and Comments.

Garden-making is in order.
Spring time is coming, gentle An
ME.
We are pleased to report the sick in
our family are convalescing.
There is always two sides to ques-
ton, our side and the wrong side.
Honesty would not be such valu-
Bile trait if it was not for its extreme
scarcity.
The report of the opening OF the
machine shops here has expired. 1t
must have been dream.
Quite revival has been started ur
in TT casora Lodge l. o. o. F. in this
city Is membership has been thor
oughh awakened to the amelioratior
OF mo-, kind. Accessions are spring
ine np and their goat never was il
be t shape to perform good service.
Rnmor has it that at the municipal
election in May Peoples ticket will
be in the field composed OF no politica
complexion. men who will work 70
and in the interests of the city fnan
cially and otherwise. 1t is misfor
tune that this was not done years ag
party and politics are not what W
want. Too much honor has departe'
from them. Good financial manage
ment is more preferable. We want tn
Queen City of the Shenandoah to ez
pand in wealth, population and soil
manufacturing interests. This is su
perior to party.
We regretted to read the valedictor

time the old mare would have as de-
lightfnl and fragrant an odor, and be
as rich and grateful a reward as Berke-
ley county offered to her benefactors
at the last election; but by the time
we had extricated ourselves from our
painful position. the old gray with a
lurch like a houndering ship had re-
gained her feet and slowly waded out
Of the lake Of mud. and we crawled
back into the road and followed her
example. There was no way out. but
we didn't keep the middle of the road.
Finally, afteran hour or SO we reached
our destination, having lost only a
pair ofgnm shoes and thelast spark Of
good nature, and having gained in
weight (of mud ten pounds and gen.
Grated enough gall and ill-feelipg to
last lifetime. But the board was
bland and smiling, and when we Won
dered at the contrast to our own ruff
fled temper, glance downward re-
vealed the keynote to the composure.
The board had it boots on and pants
tucked inside.
With eyed wonder we read that
the Herald has again changed hands.
We appreciated A. B. Smiths fidel-
ity to his party and know something
of the untiring zeal and devotion with
which he labored to make the Herald
a paper second to none in the State.
A labor of love it was, that never
paid its able editors half-price in re-
turn. But the party Elephant at last
gave Dug friend boost and LOT"
rejoices that he has found something
that returns handsome profit for
labor expended, although with regret
we say goodbye to our friend. We
feel secret glow of satisfaction that
the Herald has fallen into such able
hands. The mantle has dropped from
Elijah, but falls upon the shoulders
of Elisha, and the promise is that the
Herald shall lose none of its power,
its tone, its enterprising spirit and
its lofty ambition! Consequently it
will lose none of its supporters, and
may the strings, drawn so tight
ly in the past, loosen and pour into
its lap golden and generous return
for its labor.
Long life, happiness, honor and
good luck follow the retiring and able
proprietor. A. B. Smith, is the wish
of IOT.

La Grippe's Legacy.

Worn out and exhausted in body
and mind, with shattered nerves and
palpitating heart; no desire for food
and no ability to digest it; unable to
rest or sleep day or night-this is La
Grippe's legacy. Long after the grip
germs have been driven out the pois-
ons which they created remain in the
blood, the heart, the lungs, ana the
stomach, weakening the nerves and
lowering the vitality of the system.
There is one way Tor destroying the
seeds of disease and death which are
an inheritance from grip. Dr. Miles
Nervine will do it, 1t gives the shat
tered nerves a rest and helps them to
recover tneir strength. 1t stimulates
the appetite, strengthens the ston-
ach, assists stimulation and fills the
blood with the vital elements OF lille.
Two years ago, after severe at
tack Of the grip, ] was overcome with
nervous prostration, heart trouble and
nervous dyspepsia. / was SO low that
/ could not bear 10 be spoken to, and
during the nervous spasms which
frequently suffered, had no control
of any OF my organs. Every remedy
known to my physicians was tried
without success, and then my wife
brought me a bottle Of DIR. Miles
Nervine. After using one bottle !
could speak few words At the end
of three months | could talk quite
naturally and now l am completely
cured Of the trouble "

SEWAGE DISPOSAL.

The residents of Morristown have more
than passing interest in the inspection
of a new sewage disposal plant at Read
ing, Penn, by the State Sewage Com
mission, which will be accompanied by
number of city officials and prominent
residents of Paterson, Newark, Passaic,
and elsewhere where the matter of a
satisfactory disposal of sewage has for
years been very serious one.
In Beading all the city's sewage is car
ried across the Schuylkill river to a
liberation plant, which disposes of about
100000 gallons daily, at an expense of
$40 900 year. The original plant cost
but $205, 900, and is said to do its work
perfectly. Paris has adopted the sewage
disposal system, after studying the SUBJ
ject for upwards of thirty years, and the
time may come when the river Seine,
now sluggish stream of filth, will be
pure and clear, and an ornament to the
city.
The endorsement of the farm method
of disposal will probably be the result Of
the deliberations of those having under
consideration the publication of the Pas
sale and system satisfactory alike to
towns and cities.

NEW WAR SECRETARY.

Elihu Root, the new Secretary of War,
is distinguished lawyer, man of gen.
eral ability, and in the prime of vigor.
Gus capacity for work. His selection is
due to careful study of duties ahead.
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
are under military government. When
Congress meets their transition period
will begin. 1t is evident that the coming
labors of the secretary relate more to
civil problems than to active army opera
tions. In all except one island of the
Philippines this condition has already
been reached. The greatest War Secre-
tary the country has known was a law
yer, and so was the greatest War Presi-
dent, both acting together through the
same era. Secretary Roots task will be
chiefly one of pacitication and develop
ment. 1t is believed that he has the
qualities and the training to be Of signal
service to the country
