mons has placed in his shop a water
fan to cool the air these hot summer
days This fan is propelled by water
from onr gravity water system and
so far has worked successfully. Mr.
lamp. Erb set up the fan and did
the plumbing, and gave his usual
neat work. A. Jones, who runs the
stand recently occupied by Frank
Wise, has now connected with his
shop two bath rooms for men, which
he rents at moderate figure. We
venture the assertion that Berryville
has two # the most complete and
neatest tonsorial shops of any town
in the Valley, and both of them are
conducted by quiet, sober colored
men.
