The "CruCifXiOn." Z"

One of the largest congregations
which has ever assembled in Grace
Episcopal Church filed that edifice
Monday night to hear the magnifi-
cent rendering of Stsiner's Cru
cifixion," by the combined choirs
of Calvary Church, Front Royal,
and Grace Church.
Eight singers of rare merit and
excellence came over from Front
Royal. five of them coming from
the Eastern College there, and,
with the strength of the local choir,
presented a beautiful rendition of
this superb piece of music.
All of the singers deserve the
greatest praise, and especially the
soloists, Miss Connie Strickier,
soprano, Mr.. Rogers, tenor, and
MIR. Roderick, basso.
While the night was extremely
diSagrecable, the first thunder
storm of the season passing over
BerryviIlc at the service hour, the
church was filled, and everyone
seemed well pleased with the music.

Virginia Horse Flesh.

According to publication in The
Sunday Times-Dispatch, complied
from the auditors reports, Virginia
had in 1905 332,292 horses and
mules, valued at S14, ,551, ,9O2, or a
fraction over S43 per head. Rich
mond's horses and mules averaged
SS3 per head, Roanoke's S54.
Petersburg's S63, DanvilIe's 500,
Norfolk's S67, Lynchburg's Sos,
LOudoun's S67, and so on down
the line to Grayson, where the
value is ST. per capita.
One would suppose from this
exhibit that horse flesh is very
cheap in Virginia, yet we were in
formed the other day that it was
hard to buy a good driving horse
in Richmond for less than $500.
The man who gave this informa-
tion said he had just sold his horse
at that price, and we were shown
fancy driver at $500. We were
further informed that the man
who owned this fancy horse would
pay $500 for his match.

FAR AWAY.
Written for the COURIER.

Written for the COURIER.
Where is now merry the party
remember long ago,
Laughing round the Christmas fire,
Brightened by its ruddy glow;
Or in summers balmy evenings
In the field upon the hayy
They have all dispersed and wandered,
Far away. Far away.
Some have gone to lands far distant,
And with strangers made their homes,
Some upon the world of waters
All their lives are forced 10 roam;
Some are gone from us forever,
Longer here they may not stay,
They have reached fairer region,
Far away. Far away.
There are still some few remaining,
Who remind us of the past,
But they change, as all things chang
here,
Nothing in this world can last;
, Years roll on, and pass forever,
What is comingy Who can sayy
Ere this closes many may be
Far away. Far away. +. J. II.

Biz Company Chartered.

The last issue of the Wall Street
Summary contains mention of the
chartering of the Shenandoah Ore
and Iron Company, of Virginia,
under the laws of the State of New
Jersey, with a capital stock of
S25O,OO0.
While nothing definite can be
learned concerning the company
plans. il is believed here by peo-
nle who are in a position to know
of the state of the iron ore market,
as well as those who are interested
in the opening and development of
ore properties in the Valley, that
the company intends to raise suffi
cient funds to properly equip large
ore vasheries and construct cleo
trio tramways for the transporta-
tion of the product of the mines.
In that connection we hear a
rumor to the effect that the ore
hanks along the Shenandoah
river have been found to contain
ore of the best quality, in large
quantities, and it may be possible
that the Shenandoah Ore and Iron
Company intends to utilize the
power from the big Millville cleo
trio plant in the maintenance of
electric tramways for the trans
portation of ore, as it was recently
demonstrated near here that the
transportation of ore by wagon
trains was too costly and slow.
The daily papers contain ac-
counts of a survey from MillvilIe
to ore banks and quarries in that
section, with prominent Charles
Town and Winchester capitalists
as the leading figures in the move
ment, and we predict a general
connection between all of these
points.
Rumor has it that the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad is behind the
movement as it will mean greatly
increased freight tonnage for that
line and it is not improbable that
the railroad company IS n party to
the great business movement, or
even the prime mover in it.

Are PedlerS Licensed?

/ beg permission at call attention
through your paper TO practice
by number of parties who are
going over the County (some on
foot and some in wagons selling
all kinds of merchandise without
a license. to the detriment and dis
Advantage of our merchants who
have 10 pay license. Complaints
are frequently heard from mer-
chants, who say that it is an almost
daily occurrence for parties To be
selling goods from their wagons
along the public highways. and
frequently within sight of store.
Now, this does not seem to be Civ
ing every fellow fair deal. for
merchants to pay licenses to do
business at certain places and then
have portion of their trade sup
piled by someone who pays no
license. Now. l hope that no one
will cOnstrue this as a reflection
upon our efficient Commissioner
of the Revenue, for it is not SO in
tended, for presume he has called
the attention of the parties To- the
matter if he Is aware of it. and
they undertake to get around it by
explaining that they are merchants
and are selling goods on or
ders, and only deliver goods that
have been previously ordered.
But that Is only decep-
tive makeshift and an evasion
of the law, for, while in some in
stances, that may be the fact. the
plan l. not strictly adhered to. for
there are numerous instances where
parties have bought goods direct
from the wagons which have not
been ordered.
Now, if that be the case. it seems
very clear To my mind that 4 per.
son operating in this way would bt
claSSed aS 4 pedler. If not. viii
someone who IS more conversant
with the law tell me what pedlel
Is: As it IS time to issue license,
for another year, | would be glaC
if our Commissioner of the Revenu,
would publish, for information
through the columns of our County
paper, his definition of what con
stituteS a pedler and the licens,
required, also the privileges of ;
licensed merchant in reference t,
selling goods away from his Speci
fed place of business, if he has an
such privileges, and what metho,
he should pursue in order to keeI
within the limits of the law.
Attention has been called to thi
subject, and these inquiries hav,
been made at the suggestion of in
terested parties whose patience i
becoming exhausted and who de
mand an investigation.
