BerryYiIIe VS.. BIuemOnt.

Bluemont's strong team defeated
Berryville in a game of ball on Fri
day last, by the score of % to 3.
This was a bad jolt to the Berryville
rOOters. Their team had been hav-
ing its own way till this Waterloo.
With Burchell sick, and four other
regulars laid up, Young and Shop
herd were practically unsupported.
The players for Berryville were Shop
nerd, p; Young, c.; Milton, 1b.; Bean,
2b.; Glover, ss.; KEENAN,, 3d.; More
land, !. f.; Waters, C. f.; Cunningham,
r.f. The Bluemont team was COM
posed of a sturdy lot of youngsters,
who not only Outweighed the Battle
Town bucks, but outplayed them at
every point. The feature of the
game WAS the star playing of the
Blnemont battery, and the way Geo.
Plaster touched the runners out at
first. Berryville is going to get
together and give the mountaineers
another tussle.

A Dog Fall.

1t appears to ne, the terms of the
surrender, which closed the South
African war, are such as will permit
the Beers to secure a good breathing
spell, and then renew hostihties.
They are allowed to bear arms: to
retain their liberties: to return to their
farms: TO indemnity for their losses:
and to representation in the law max
ing body of Pretoria. What more
could they expect, when they give
up their swords ?
In our school boy days, when one
youth grappled another, and both fell
together with no decided advantage
to either wrestler, it was called a
"dog fall" And so we say of the
South African War, the liberal terms
upon which the beers give up their
arms, amounts to a "dog fall" They
have retained all the perquisities and
rights of a freeman. They can enjoy
life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness. And if the English yoke
gals too much, they can "gO at en-
again.

Mr.. w. H. Whiting.

The principal of Clay Hill Acad-
envy, Prof. w. H. Whiting, has been
elected to the chair of Latin and
German at Hampden Sidney College.
He was Il sub-professor at that
institution for number of years,
and resigned because of the i'll health
of his aged parents, who resided at
Clay Hill near Wildwood. His resig-
nation from the college, was consid-
cred severe loss to that Institution.
Since his return to Clarke, he has
been the owner and principal of
Clay Hill Academy, where he has
prepared young men for College, the
Government Academies, and bust
ness pursuits. During the years
Mr. Whiting has had charge of Clay
Hill, the school has become known
as one of the best preparatory insti.
buttons in the State. His new post
will take him away from this com
munity where he is greatly beloved
by large circle of friends, and
highly esteemed for his usefulness.

Reception at " Alpine. 4"

Alpine the beautiful home of Mr..
and Mrs F. NJ. Thompson, two miles
south of Berryville, was the scene, on
Friday evening, June ID, Of one of the
most delightful social functions Of the
season, the occasion being a reception in
honor of their daughter, Miss Ada
Thompson, and their niece Miss Fleda
May Ramey, who were of the graduating
class of 1902 at Eastern College, of Front
Royal, Va, which popular institution
of learning closed its session on June II.
Rarely has a more lovely rosebud garden
of beautiful giIls, handsomely attired in
exquisite and daintily trimmed gowns
of spOtless white, been seen than were
at Alpine" on this happy occasion.
Miss Thompson proved to be charm
ing hostess, and entertained her large
company of friends in a most charming
manner, ably assisted by her cousin.
Miss Ramey. Both were handsomely
gowned in white Lansdown, trimmed in
applique and liberty satin, perfect gems
of costumes.
Alpine was thrown wide open and
old Virginia hospitality awaited the
coming of each guest. Gayly colored
japanese lanterns shed a beautiful light
on the large veranda, that afforded a
pleasant promenade for the young
ladies and gentlemen. At $50 O'Clock
the guests were called to the dining
room, where a refreshment table, laden
with an abundance of delicious sweets.
claimed the attention for awhile Later
the guests assembled in the front yard,
and were treated to some of the finest
selections in the realm Of that rare gift
elocution.
The appreciation and enthusiasm of
the company knew no bounds as each
number was rendered. THE Coming
Out of Miss Comings," by Miss Thomp-
son; The School Mistress" by Miss
Ramey," and Naughty Eel" The
Hedgehog" and Bobolink," by Miss
Gaver, teacher of elocution at the East
ern, were each a gem itself
The rendering of Bobolink was an
exceedingly intricate and difficult under
taking, but Miss Gaver had perfect con-
troll of her voice
At late hour the guests reluctantly
left the scene that had afforded them so
much pleasure, and will ever remember
the kind and generous hospitality of
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and Miss Ada

The Automobile.

The automobile is making its APP
pearance on the turnpikes of our
county. We have heard several COM
plants from the farmers about these
machines. Horses scare at them
readily, and police regulations should
be adopted for the protection of life
and limb. When the threshing ma
chimes move around the country
roads, the engineer invariably sends
man ahead to warn the travelling
public, and assist people in getting
their teams past. 1t should be so
with the automobiles. One of these
machines moving along the pike,
with noiseless rubber tires and puff
ting gasoline engine, can give the
traction engine two in the game,
in the matter of soaring horses and
beasts of burden. They are enough
to scare the farmers themselves. The
present condition of affairs calls to
mind the time when bicycles were
first introduced. 1t took farmers
and horses long time to get used
to them The first bicycles were on
the upright pattern, and it was the
sight of one of these vehicles that
caused Bill Fields to exclain: "Well,
sub. eff thar amt Ole Satin hisself,
a.chasin' around de country on
buggy wheel"
The owner of the automobile paws
no toll. lie is a gratuitous user of
the turnpike. This seems unjust.
if the pixies were not kept in good
repair, they would be impossible for
this kind of vehicle The toll is
charged for the turnpike, because Of
its superiority over the common road.
1t takes money to keep it that way,
and the automobile more than any
other should contribute, as iii the
absence Of go5d turnpikes. tie auto
mobile would be u useless machine.
