For Town Lighting Contract.

The matter of advertising for
bids for lighting the streets OF
Berryville, beginning at the expi-
ration of the present contract on
February 10, 1907, was not taken
up at the meeting of the Town
Council Monday night, and a
special meeting of that body has
been called for next Monday night,
at which time the matter will be
taken up and acted upon.
As the COURIER has urged here
tOfOre, the time for advertising for
bids Is at hand, as it is possible
that the contract may be awarded
to some other than the present
contractor. If the contract is
awarded to a new company, it will
take them some time to prepare
their poles, wires and lights.
If the present contractor is again
awarded the contract. no harm will
be done by advertising at this time.
1t Is confidently asserted by
friends of the Winchester and
Washington Electric Company
that their company will be bidder
for the privilege, and that they
Will offer an all-night-every-night
service.
1t Is generally believed that the
Town Council will adopt a resolu-
ton at its meeting next Monday
night and order the advertisement
for bids. If that Is done. the bids
can be opened early in December
and plenty of time allowed for the
preparation before the present
contract expires.
1t seems to Us that the matter OF
all = night every night lighting
should be incorporated in the adj
vertisment, as Berryville i grow
ing too fast to think of making a
contract for lighting our street,
only until II o'clock on cloudy
nights.
Let Us have lights every night.
\ all night.

In Time OF Peace.

In the first months Of the Russia. Japan

necessity for preparation and the early
advantage of those who, so TO speak,
"have shingled their roofs in dry wealth

history and given 10 us our greatest men.
The individual as well as the nation
should be prepared for any emergency.

"DaVy Slow, the Human Torch. 1"

The annual appearance of Hal
lowe'en in Berryville resulted in
the usual pranks and idiocies of
the small boy and his larger land
supposedly wiser brother.
Davy Slow, the we'll known
hostler at Harry Hardesty's Livery
Stable, had an experience that was
not exactly down on the bills.
A large number of our young
men and boys formed a parade,
and marched up and down the
streets.
Davy. who had been pressed
into service as torch-bearer, was
garbed in peanut sack, with
holes for head and arms.
When the procession reached the
residence of the late DR.. Cyrus
Mccormick halt was called, as
the torches had burnedout. While
the refilling and relighting of the
torches was in process, some mis-
creant threw coal oil on Davy and
struck match. In a second he
was sheet of flame. Dancing
around and trying to disrobe, he
would not remain in one position
long enough for the paraders to
smother the blaze. Finally Harry
Waller, the strong man, who easily
hits fifteen or twenty men, ran in
and grabbed the blazing figure and
held him long enough for the other
paraders to smother the flame.
Davy was then sent to a doctor for
repairs.
His back and face were severely
burned, but not seriously, and he
was out and around the next day,
but well swathed in cotton.
1t was only through the GOODNESS
OF Harry Waller and the other
paraders that a tragedy was pre-
vented, as the colored boy seemed
hereft Of all sense and judgment
after his clothing became ignited
and would not stand still Ions
enough for the white men to extin
guish the blaze. When Harry
Waller dashed in and graspeC
Davy, there was no trouble il
SmOthering the blaze.

New Saloon Regulation.

At the meeting of the Town
Council Monday night a resolution
was adopted extending the hour
for closing of saloons on Sat
urday nights to 1890, instead of
$50, with the provision that saloon
keepers who desire to take advan-
tqge of this resolution must pay
for a policcmn to be established in
front of their place of business.
If all of the local saloon men take
advantage of the new order, there
will be five extra policemen on duty
in Berryville on Saturday nights.
which should greatly improve the
order of our streets.
As far a. can be judged from the
resolution, there IS nothing com
pulsory about it, and those saloon
men who do not care to go to the
expense of paying a policemen
salary can colSe at $50 as usua
from November to May each year
