Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1902-10-29

Mr.. EDITOR.
| have been careful reader of
the COURIER for many years, aud at
no time in its history has it been
more sought for than it has been this
present year. Articles of vital i'm
portance TO the progress and welfare
Of grand old Clarke have been fully
discussed in reference 10 the bridg-
ing of the Shenandoah river. Nv
first impulse was to be on the mega.
tive side, and so it was with great
number of our citizens of Greenway.
We have met often near the postofiice
and discussed the matter. and now
We feel it our duty as honest Virgin
iuns and natives of Clarke, to stand
by our citizens on the east side and
cast our vote for progress We are
by nature aud history a proud people.
Shall we bury our pride and vote
against improvements. ! say no.
thousand times no. Let us each 90
to the polls on the 4th day of Novem-
Der and cast our vote for the upbuild-
ing of our beautiful county, and
prove to the world we are worthy TO
be called sons of Clarke. There is no
question, no doubt, but that the citi-
zens on the east side voted for us
when we called on them for our rail
road, they have been taxed according
to their means as much as we, and
four-hfths of the time are not able
to reach the only means of transpor-
tatlon in our county. Now is the
time for us to annex this cutoff por-
ton of the country by ties of iron
There is no better time than now for
us 10 bind these citizens to us in
closer and stronger friendship. Turn
out, vote for the issuance OF bonds,
vote lower on the ticket for toll
bridges. Reader remember to vote
for bond issue rs we'll as for toll
bridges. read with pleasure the
ably written article of our able repre-
sentative, the Hon. Blackburn Smith
in the editorial column of your last
issue. May he live long to serve his
constituents in the future, as we'll
as he has so efficiently done in the
past. Well may his old supporters
be proud of the young scion of
Clarke.

then covered with sand.
Taking a small fan from their waist
and standing about two feet away,
they fan a rosebush from the cup at
least two and half feet high. bearing
quite q number of roses, one OF which
they will give for a piece of silver.

for any one else to touch without re-
ceiving wound and never get O

"Yes," he answered, 1.-The result has
been in the main most satisfactory.

Is Roosevelt Sounding AIaer?

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 27.-General
Alger will leave the city today for a
trip east. The question is asked
whether the object Of his visit is to
see the president. A mysterious visit
of Congressman Smith Monday night
is thought to have had something to
do with Ayers movements, and the
theory is advanced by local politicians
that President Roosevelt has been
sounding General Alger through Con-
gresham Smith. Senator Burrows
has not agreed in every way with the
administration policies, and it is hint
ed that the president would like to
know where General Alger stands.

A Submerged Electric Motor

Is a new device by which any small
rowboat can be easily transformed into
a power propelling craft without max
ing the slightest alteration in it. If
people who are suffering from ailments
of the stomach, liver and bowels would
try Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. their
condition would gradually improve I'M
til they are completely transformed from
the weak, nervous condition to one Of
robust health. 1t is medicine that the
most delicate stomach can retain. and
one that will not shock the system. Du-
ring the past fifty years hundreds Of
people have voluntarily testified to its
efficacy in cases of headache, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, constipation, nervous
ness, liver and kidney troubles and ma
laria, fever and ague. We would there
fore urge you to try bottle and satisfy
yourself.
