The Local Option Election will
be held next Tuesday, December
13.
The agitation and electioneering
which has preceded this election
has engendered considerable bit
terness among the friends of each
side, although we think this should
not be.
The great basis Of our Govern
ment Is control by the majority,
and we think the present election
IS not different from any other in
that respect.
Whichever way the election
goes, there should be no agitation
or bitterness over the result.
Let the majority rule.

Southern Churchman.
Twas a group Of youth and beauty
For their pictures there that sat:
Lads and lassies full of mischief
Making mirth Of This and that.
Presently woman entered.
Old she was, and worn. and sad.
Draws her veii-so shy and shrinkiur
From that group so gay and glad.
Whisperings now and voiceless laugh
ter
Poor old timii Eldred GRAY,
She will have no picture taken.
Gently turns and walks away.

Draws his sinner, draws his saint:
The other end the angel holdeth-
Why not he some picture painte
True there's difference in the drawing.
We see only outward signs.
Read but lines Of deshly meaning.
Angels read between The lines.

Made that day far other picture
From the one we've JUST passed bv.
Face all hal0ed In rapt glory.
Luminous with love and hope.

ployed by Mr.. w. O. Champion.

steer about > o'clock last Monday
evening. The young man. in
company with Mr.. Champion and
Mr.. w. T. Ramey. were driving
some cattle into the lane at the
Champion home when one steer
refused TO be driven and charged
at Mr.. Ramey. Mr.. Ramey es-
capped by jumping a fence and the
steer turned on Burner. who was
unable TO get out of the way. The
animals head struck Burner in the
throat and Its horns produced two
very ugly gashes about three
inches long and an inch deep. DR..
). Edward Harris was quickly
summoned and stitched up the
wounds. Burner lost a great deal
of blood, but will probably recover.
as no arteries were severed.

Miss Ford Seriously Injured.

The many friends of Miss Ruth

regret of the very severe accident
last Sunday evening in which she

from the vehicle.
Help was quickly at hand and
Miss Ford was carried back to her
aunt's house, where physician
set the broken arm and rendered
medical attention.
Miss Ford was unconscious for
some time, and it was feared that
she was suffering from conclusion
of the brain, but we are informed
this was not the case.

hundreds, there will be much Joy

To THE CITIZENS OF BERRYvILLE:
The article addressed TO YOU and
signed NJ. w. Jones, published i'm
this issue, which the Editor of the
COURIER very courteouSly has per-
mltted us TO see and reply TO, is
quite lengthy and profuse. We
will endeayor To make the reply
thereto as short rs possible.
Mr.. Jones says, among other
things, That he is more than sur
prised at our attitude. " OF course
we cannot be held responsible for
his surprises, and we do not know
whether he means that we should
not heve taken the liberty of criti-
cising his pvJltcati'on, in the Bat
tletown News of October II. 1904.
or whether we stepped beyond the
lines of duty in giving YOU in the
last issue of this paper n titH state
ment of the financial condition of
the town, both assets and liabilities,
when he had only given the assets.
and had treated an uncollected
debt, that is, uncollected taxes and
water rent, as cash. We wonder
if this Battletown iinancier has so
completely lost his cunning as to
be willing to accept uncollected
taxes and water rent bills in pay
ment of the same amount of water
bonds, should he be the owner of
such. He asks the question, IF
his report was garbled, misleading
and Incorrect, why did we receive
and pay him for itl" We would
not have received it, nor would we
have paid him, if it had been, in
our opinion, either garbled, mis-
leading or Incorrect, and we have
made no such charge; but we did
say that his pubiication of the re-
port containedali three ingredients,
and have no reason To change our
minds.
As he stated in that publication,
Just think of it, IN the XreaS9rcr'S
hands, S2303.0S' when in point
of fact, htS report showed 1910. -
of uncoHected taxes and water rent;
and he now undertakes to excuse
himself 10y saying that he WAS
employed to make a statement of
/ the condition of the Treasurer 5
books, and was not asked to make
n statement of the debts of the
Town." but it appears from his
publication in the Battletown
News that he did make state
ment of both the assets and habili-
ties of the town; not from the
authentic source (the 1reaSurer'S
books) oh, no; but from his fer
tile imagination, and he wohld
have you to believe that we haC
in hand on October 6, 1904
| $23O3.0S. and suggests that $4,000
of this might be invested at ) pei
cent in the purchase (for example
of water bonds, when he now
admits in his statement in thi,
issue, that he knew S940.52 wa
uncollected by the Treasurer anC
therefore could not have been il
his hands. His report to the Coun
Gil shows this. His publication
suppresses it. Which statement i
garbled, misleading and incorrect
the one published by Mr.. Jones il
the Battletown News or the ON
published by us in the last issue q

themselves. He asks us by wha
business principle have we tn

taxes from the balance in tn
