BACHMAN CHAPEL LETTER.
Death Of Mrs. P. L. Wise Enjoyable
Dinner at Perry Halfacre'S-.
Communion at Colony.

Christmas passed off very quietly
throughout this section. No acci-
dents happened, except that a ne
gro, jeff Ruff, who lives on DR..
Hunters place, got his hand badly
torn up by the explosion of a gun.
Mrs. Nancy c.. Wise, wife of Mr..
P. L. Wise, died at her home on
Saturday night, the Goth, aged 81
years, 2 months and 1o days. Her
infant babe had preceded her to the
spirit land just few weeks previous
to her death. Her remains were
laid to rest i'll Colony graveyard on
Monday following her death, her
pastor, the Rev, P. II. +. Derrick,
conducting the funeral services.
. Mrs. Wise was member of Bach
man Chapel church, and her whole
life was a life of peace and quietude.
She leaves husband, one sister,
two half brothers, two half sisters
and step-mother to mourn her de-
parture. They have our deepest
sympathy.
Among my Christmas enjoyments
was to accept all invitation to a
turkey dinner at the home of my
neighbor and friend, Mr.. Perry
Halfacre, Oh Tuesday, the 29th Of
December. Just before dinner MIR.
Halfacre showed us dish which
was bought by his grandfather,
Henry Halfacre, i'll the spring Of
1903, when he first went 70 house
keeping. 1t was then bought and
served as 4 turkey dish by This good
old father one hundred and ore
years ago II served die samc pur.
pose Oh the day i'll question, which
made the dinner quite memorable.
MIR. Editor, I am sorry your Invita-
ton did not reach you in time for
you to be with us on this
occasion, for you certainly missed
one of the best dinners Of your life.
Amy one who cats a dinner pre-
pared by Mrs. Halfacre will not
wonder why her husband is so large
and heshy.
But. to go back to the relic, this
old dish, which is serving its third
generation, Notwithstanding it has
been i'll continual use for more than
a hundred years, has not lost it's
beauty, The flowers on it's face
look as fresh and natural as if
placed there only short while ago
The day was spent very pleasantly
with this kind family and | trust
that i may be my privilege to meet
with again in like manner. To
say that Col. ID. A. Ruff and Mai
Ben HaliaCrc were there is ONLY
saying that it added more to the
fun and pleasure Of the day. Perry
Halfacrc is one among our best
neighbors and citizens, and to meet
each one Of his children is a plain
evidence Of what I say, for they
show that they have been brought
up under good discipline.
There was communion service
at Colony church last Sunday. The
day was very cold, which made the
congregation comparatively small.
Our new pastor, Rev. r. E. Liv-
ingstone, preached a good sermon

There has neen no little am ourt OF
talk about the combination Of the men
who ar. selling milk to the people OF
Martinsburg to raise the price from
5 to cents per quart. Whether or
not this increase in justified by the
cost of producing milk we are not
fully persuaded but we are assured by
geo business men who have been in
tn business and sold out, that there
is no money in selling milk al 5 cents
FER quart.
Milk sells in Washington and
Richmond at s cents per quart
but we have not had time to
ascertain what dealers in near by
towns charge. The effort upon tue
part of some miserable vermin to make
politics out OF the m after is too non
sensical to notice and their statement
that all our milk dealers are Demo-
Gratis is about as correct as they ever
get anything.
If the cost producing milk makes
it necessary to increase the price,
which the dealers assert is the case,
they are justified in raising the price.
If not they cannot be blamed for
com Dining to raise the price as that
seem; to be the general trend Of the
time. There. is hardly an article that
goe toward the family's living that
is not controlled and the price set by
trust and ct there are hundreds OF
people in Martiusbulg who Justify
the extortions OF the trusts. If we are
going to begin to fight the trusts why
begin on few poor farmeas who X
pose themselves in all kinds at weather
and work hard to make ends meet?
WAY hot begin OF the coal trust, thu
oil trust, the meat trust, aud the
sores OF Others that are guading The
life out of the people? We shall not
defend the milk dealers. neither shall
we condemn them until we know
whether or not the increase is nee
essarg to meet the cost of productions,
but we do say that as we are robbed
in The purchase OF everything else we
shall not kick on the excess on milk.
We can stand that a good deal better
than we can stand the robbery OF tn e
