in Successful Development.
One of Gte Important Functions Of High
Class Newspaper.
In presenting interesting phases of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give infor-
nation of as great.value in their adver-
Using columns as in those devoted to the
publication of the principal events of the
day; and when the fame of product is
extended beyond its natural limits into
foreign lands, and large demand ere
ated throughout Great Britain and her
Colonies ami the principal seaports and
cities of Europe. Asia and Africa, it be-
comes pleasant duty to note the fact
and to tell the points of excellence on
which so great success is based. We re-
fer TO the now world-famed laxative rem
edy, Syrup of Figs, the product of the
California Fig Syrup Company. The
merits of this well-known excellent laxa-
tive were first made known to the world
through the medical journals and news
papers of the United States; and is one
of the distinct achievements of the press.
1t is now well known that Syrup of Figs
is an ethical proprietary remedy, approved
by the most eminent physicians every
where, because it is simple and effective,
yet pleasant to the taste and acceptable
to the system. and not only prompt in its
beneficial effects, but also wholly free
from any unpleasant after-effects. 1t is
frequently referred to as the remedy of
the healthy, because it is used by people
who enjoy good health and who live we'll
and feel well and are well informed on
all subjects generally, including laxatives.
In order to get its beneficial effects, it is
necessary to get the genuine Syrup of
Figs, which is manufactured by the Cal
ifornia Fig Syrup Company only.

Miss Gertrude Huyett Jones' only daugh-
er of Mrs. Ellen Jones, of Berryville, Va,
and Mr.. Jacob Fonrose Engle, of this place,
were married Wednesday evening at o clock
at the home of the brides mother, in Berry
vile. Rev. DIR. A. G. Hopkins, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church of Charles Town, per-
formed the ceremony. The wedding was
very quiet and only few relatives of the
bride were present. There were no attend
ants. The bride wore handsome tailor
made suit of heather brown cloth, with hat
and gloves to match, and carried shower
bouquet of Bride roses. After the ceremony
thenewly married couple came to this place,
where they will reside at the groom's resi-
dence, on South George street. The bride is
well-known in Berryville, where she has
large circle of friends, and the groom is
well-known member of the Charles Town
bar. So quiet had the matter been kept that
it was not until Thursday morning that any
one except very limited number of close
friends, knew anything about it. We ex-
tend to Mr.. Eugle and his charming young
bride our heartiest congratulations, with
hopes that their lives will be continual
series of surprises which will yield nothing
but happiness.
