Therefore be it Resolved, That the

be and they arc hereby rendered
to each member of the choir; and
be it further.
Resolved, That the high class
of music rendered by the choir is
most satisfactory and adds greatly
to the dignity and reverence of the
Services of the Church and that in
this respect this parish is not
excelled by any in the Diocese.

For mistakes will occur in q hurry and

And some blamed the baby-aDd some

too slow.

Some fought for the sightS-for the
ninth more would die
And who wouldn't see right-sure they
blackened his eye
AT last both the factions so positive grew
That each kept birthday so Pat he had
two;
TIL Father Mulcahy, who showed them
their sins,
Said, mo one could have two birthdays
but twins"
Says he, Boys, don't be fighting for
eight or for nine,
Don't be always dividing sometimes

Combine eight with niue. and seventeen
is the mark,
So let that be his birthday" Amen. -

IF he wasn't twins, sure our history
will show
That at least he's worth any two saints

CORRESPONDENCE

March has given us more winter than
we have had yet.
Quite number of our citizens who
have commenced work, had to return TO
the Top on account of bad weather.
Old folks tell us this is the March
weather 10 protect fruit. As there are
several thousand peach trees planted
around the top Of the mountain we hope
the spring weather will be so as to pro-
tect this crop, as well as other small
fruits
Mr.. John +. Payne exhibited for the
market on the first of March some Of the
prettiest apples of the York Imperial
and Wlne-Sap variety that has been seen
here for a long while at this season of
the year. These apples were grown on
Mr. Payne's farm lying on the west side
Of the Blue Ridge
Mr.. Abe LOngerbesm also kept apples
of these varieties up this time in a fine
state. We often wonder that fruit grow
ers do not come into this section and
buy up and plant out in fruit some Of
the land lying on the west side Of the
mountain. For miles there are many
acres that would produce good fruit at
less cost and much less labor than land
at the Top.
Mr.. Jack Mercer visited his relatives
near the Tor Saturday and Sunday.
Rev. Mr Waters preached his farewell
sermon at Bluemont Sunday morning.
Mr. Walters has supplied this church for

tributing station house in Berry

The electrical machinery which
which is being manufactured by
the Pittsburg branch of the West
inghouse Company. is now being
delivered at the Millville plant, as
the first carload was received there
about ten days ago.
All of the electrical machinery
will be in place by May 1.
IL is stated that work on the
three immense water turbines is
progressing satisfactorily, and
that they will be installed before
the contract time.
Poles for the transmission of the
COmpany's electric wires are being
planted as rapidly as the inclement
weather will permit, and the Off
cials of the Company have no doubt
that they will be ready to light

Another Myth From Winchester.

Rev Frank Kerfoot and family, OF
Philadelphia, are visiting his mother
Mrs. III. ID. Clevenger."
The above from the Winchester
Star has caused a great deal of
amazementand considerable amuse-
ment among the many friends of
Mrs. III. ID. Kerfoot.
SO far as her relatives, friends
and acquaintances are aware, Mrs.
kerfoot has not changed her name.
Even the lady herself pronounces
the statement false.
What more can one desire in the
way of proofl
just who III. ID. Clevenger" is,
the city directory fails to reveal,
but we presume, however. that he
Is to be classed with "Ashby. "who
was murdered and thrown into the
icy waters of the OpequOn, and
"Popkin, " who was foully done TO
death on "the east side of the
Shenandoah" as thrillingly and
graphically told in the Winchester
papers and in heWashington Post
and Baltimore Sun special dis
patches from Winchester.
As Ashby was myth, as Popkin
was myth, in like manner "Clev-
enger" is also a myth.
There are number Of very re-
spectacle citizens of this county
named Ashby; but none of them
have been murdered and thrown
into the Opequon.
We believe there are also a num-
Der of residents named Popkin; but
none have been foully murdered.
\ number OF people in this and
neighboring counties bear the
honored and respectable name of
/ Clevenger; but not one of them has
been united in marriage to Mrs.
kerfoot.
We might go on, indefinitely,
citing these comparisons, but three
will suffice.
Mrs Kerfoot is a charming lady,
she Is of winning disposition and
amiable companionship; she would
be most desirable attainment for
any honest and honorable man; the
/ COURIER considers her one of Its
best friends, and we object to the
high-handed way in which the Star
has Summarily married her off tc
the mythical "Clevenger."
Asthe Winchester papers seldom
make apology or explanation, nc
matter how greatly in error they
may be. we suppose this is now tc
be numbered among the CLOSED
| incidents.
"Clevenger" is myth. just the
same.
