The Berryville phone holders of
the Winchester Telephone Company
have made formal complaint to Hon.
H. L. Barton, president of the Com
psny, Of the bad service over the Com
pany's lines to places some distance
from Berryville. A message to Win
chester or to sections of Clarke coun-
ty has to be repeated to receiver by
central at Winchester, while it lie i'm
possible 20 get Msrtinsburg at all.
This state of affairs has been existing
for some time, and informal COM
plant has been made of same to Supt.
Hoover, but the service has never
been improved. If something to bet
ter the system is not done the Com
pany will receive little or no patron
age here whatever.

Nearly every day last week a good
steady rain fell in this section, which
was sufficient in quantity to break
effectually the drought. Thursday
evening the downpour of rain was
heavy and incessant for about an
hour, and so great was the quaint
ty of water that fell that the town
run was within six inches of the
high water mark made during the
year of the Johnstown flood. All
the gardens and yards bordering on
the run, were flooded, and in many
places the roads we're badly washed.
