Returns After Many Years.

Mr.. c. f.. CrockwelI. of Louis
Vile, Ky. is visiting relatives and
friends here. Mr.. Cr0ckwell was
a resident of Berryville more than
fifty years ago, when the town
consisted Of only two streets,
although they were not dignified
by street names at that time. The
Winchester turnpike was crossed
by the road now called Church
street. and the few houses were
located on the two roads. Clarke
county had not then been formed
from Frederick. Mr.. Crockwell
remembers many of the older resi-
dents. but many of those whom he
knew half century ago have
passed over the river to the Other
side.

The Road Lew.

The COURIER was in error in
several respects regarding the ac-
ton taken by the Board of Super
visors at their last meeting regard
ing the road levies for the County
We publish the statement accord.
ipg to the information which we
received, and of course we are
glad to make correction, as we
seem to have given Chapel district
the worst of the argument.
The facts of the case, as present
ed to us by a member of the Board
OF Supervisors are given below.
The Board repealed the special
law of IS76-77, acting under the
authority conferred upon them by
acts of 1881, which empowers
them TO repeal any special law re-
lating to roads and road levies in
the County.
The Board then rescinded the
road levies made at the January
meeting, in order to prevent wait
ing for court decision rs 10 the
conStitutionality of the acts of
lS76-77.
The Board then made the same
levies as those made at the Janu-
airy meeting. which are as follows:
Chapel, 20 cents; Grecnway. %
cents; Longmarsh, Is cents: Battle
town, ID cents.
The editor is always glad Ia
make a correction when we are in
error, or when we do an injustice
to anyone.
In this case the records of the
meeting of tn Board did not show
clearly the action taken. and we
had TO rely upon outside informa-
ton, which, we had every reason
to believe, was correct. However,
a stated above, we were in error.

of interest TO some of our readers
is in regard to changing the pasture

in winter he changes them TO diff

Mr.. PHlliam'S Peculiar Accident.

In starting to cross Main street
in front of the Virginia House
Monday morning Mr.. u. R.Pulliam
suffered very painful accident.
As he stepped from the pavement
to the street he slipped on wet
stone and, to prevent falling,
grasped the hitchipg post with his
left hand. His body was so far
out of equilibrium that his grasp
on the post caused him to swing
around it, and cigar, which he
held IN holder between his lips,
was knocked out and around into
his eye, lighted end foremost. The
pam from the hot cigar ashes was
intense, and his suffering was
acute. He was quickly led to the
once Of DR.. j. Il. Harris, who
applied temporary bapdages and
nlntments, A close examination
was made by DIR. Harris Monday
night, and he gave it as his opinion
that the injury, while very painful,
would not destroy the sight. The
cigar at the time of the accident
had a quantity of charred ashes
upon the end, and this prevented
Ihe lire from actually striking the
eye although the ashes were very
warm.

Presbyterian Work PrOSperS.

Last Sunday closed the ecclesi-
astical work for the year of the
Presbyterian Churches of Clarke
county. and in making out reports
to 90 up to the Presbytery the fol-
lowing facts were brought out re-
garding the churches Of Berry
vile, Stones Chapel and Clear
brook. which are under the pastoral
care and guidance of Rev. ID. II.
Scanlon and his efficient boards of
elders.
This being the fifth year of the
present pastorate, and in order to
see the growth of the work, stats
tics are given for the past five
years.
The amount contributed 10 all
causes, the first year. was $3.50:
second year, $500; third year.
Sl0SS; fourth year, 5000: fifth
year, S225O: or an average of S13
per member per year.
The resident membership five
years ago was 100. Received the
first year. 9; second year p; third
year. Il; fourth year. II; fifth
year, Is. Net gain, 81.
This l. certainly an excellent
showing for the Clarke county
churches, in view of the fact that
in the same period of time there
has been a net gain of 1917 persons
in the whole roll of communicates
Of the Presbytery of % churches,
or an average of about additions
per minister IN five years.
We are informed that the out
look for the ensuing year indicates
that it will probably be the most
