Jewish Holiday.

1t is beautiful and appropriate
custom with which Jewish people
throughout the world celebrate in
due and solemn form ancient forms
and religious devotions, and this
year has been no exception. From
a time almost as old as history
Rosh Hashanah"h as been solemn
~ observed as a Holy Day-the
words meaning Head of the
Year" The day is observed in
earnest and solemn prayer, into
spection and self review, is kept as
a holiday and falls on the 22d
of September,on which the Mosaic
law also requires there shall be
suspension of all business avoca-
tons. Hence our Jewish business
men closed their places of business
yesterday and will be again closed
on Thursday of next week. October
L. Thus eight days after "Rosh
Hashanah" comes Your Kippur. "
or the day of atonement. Then
begins the new year according to
the lsraelitish calender. and by the
keeping in proper form, according
to the law as laid down by Moses,
by which atonement has been made
for the past year. the devout jew
begins the new year joyfulIy, feel
ing that in his atonement he has
regained the favor of the Heaven
ly Father.

On Friday last, September
Is, Mr.. NJ. M. Lynch. trustee,
offered the well known Savage
Property on Main street at public
auction. But few bidders attended
the sale and it was knocked down
to Mr.. j. III. Savage at the low
price of $3.50. This sale does not
represent real estate values in
Berryville, but in this instance was
caused by the fact that the large
house and lot, which embraced the
property sold, had encumbrances
or entails upon it which prevented
some who would have been bidders
from offering to purchase. To the
purchaser, however, the property
Is of much greater value than the
price paid for it indicates.

Lost a Valuable Horse.

On last Thursday, September
II, while the team of Mr.. Sam
Mccormick was delivering wheat
to the depot, his saddle horse slip
ped and fell at the old lime kill hill
Just north of the boom and cut its
jaw very badly. The horse died
Friday night from the injuries
caused by the fall. We understand
from Mr.. Mccormick that the
horse was a very valuable one and
one that can not be replaced. The
hill in question is very dangerous
one and something should be done
to make it paSsable, as in wet
weather a horse can hardly get up
or down without slipping. We
were also Informed by Mr.. Nc
Cormick that while at his farm on
Friday looking after his injured
horse, his driving horse while kick
ing at the flies got its foot caught
over the cross bar and fell, but
fortunately Mr.. Mccormick arriv-
cd In time to avoid any serious
damage to the horse, and only the
shaft and the harness were broken.

A Remarkable Record.

during which time many million
bottles have been sold and used.
1t has long been the standard and
main reliance in the treatment of
Group in thousands of homes. vet
during all this time no case has
ever been reported TO the manu-
facturers in which it failed to effect
a cure. When given as soon as
the child becomes hoarse or even
as soon as the croupy cough APP
pears, it will prevent the attack.
1t Is pleasant to take, many chill
dren like it. 1t contains no opium
or other harmful substance and

A Page County Man Killed on the N. &
W. Railroad.

On Thursday morning last Der
ryvllle citizens were shocked tc
learn that young man had beer
killed at the Norfolk & Western
depot at this place the previou.
night at about II O'Clock. Later
1t was learned that his name was
William Pritchett. and son OF
Mr.. K. 5. Pritchett, postmaster al
Shenandoah City, Page county. Va.
When the train stopped here.
northbound, the young man left
the train and went into the passen-
ger station. and got a drink OF
water. when finding the train be-
ginning to move. he rushed out
and presumably attempted to seize
hold of the guard or railing to the
steps, but probably missed his hold.
and fell under the cars. Itappears
that his clothing was caught in
some way and he was thus dragged
over the ties to death. The back
of his head was mashed almost into
a jelly,and his arm about the wrist
cut off practically, only holding bv
skin and ligaments. He was other
wise bruised about the body.
There was no inquest held as the
body was ordered by telegraph Ia
be shipped to his parents at Shen-
andOah City. which was done on
the 900 train Thursday morning.
The manner and cause of the acct
dent is therefore conjectural. as no
evidence was taken. Chief Rica-
more summoned a list of jurymen.
but the body having been by that
time forwarded. an inquest was
not held.
1t is said young Pritchett was a
machinest by occupation and had
worked in the y. & w. r. Bishops
at Shenandoah City previous to
the removal of the shops to Blue
field, west of Roanoke City. The
writer did not know the young
man, although long acquainted
with Mr.. Bob" Pritchctt. the
father. most estimable gentleman.
and we must express our deep and
sincere sympathy with the parents
of the deceased, who are 81 sadly
bereaved by this unfortunate ac-
currence.
