Compliments Our Public School.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch
Of last Sunday contained an excel
lent article concerning the Berry
vile High School, which was illus
trated with photographs of the
building itself and the assembly
hall.
In commenting on the good work
dome for the school and its pupils,
the Times-Dispatch says, edito-
rally:
1.-The Berryville High School
bnilding is about six years old and
contains six class rooms, together
with an assembly hall. Something
more than year or SO after the
present principal took charge Of
the school movement was started
nv the teachers to establish lib
rary. On February %, 1908, a
nnblic reception was held to which
invitations were issued, requesting
the recipients to be present and
each to bring a book. Over two
hundred and fifty books were re-
ceived and a library association
was then and there formed, to
which any pupil may belong by
paving one cent a month, and any
outsider by paying five cents a
month. With money thus raised
and additional contributions the
number of volumes was increased
to three hundred by the end of the
year.
"A subscription fund was then
raised to furnish the hall and on
February %, 1906, it was formal
" dedicated.

dollar word to the public school
interest of Virginia. 1t is just the

A Compliment From Clay Hill.

In paying his COURIER subscrip-
tion in advance, Prof. w. III.

Death Of Mr.. George Phillips.

Mr.. George f. S. Phillips, one
of the oldest and most well known
residents Of Berryville, died at his
home on Main street Sunday after
noon, after lingering illness from
cancer.
Funeral services were held yes
terday morning at 1870 o'clock
from the NJ. +. Church, South, of
which Mr.. Phillips had long been
member.
The services were conducted by
his pastor, Rev. j. Harry Smith.
Interment was made in Green
Hill Cemetery.
The pallbearers were-Messrs.

Mr.. Phillips, who was II years
of age, had been a very active citi-
zen of Berryville, and had a wide
acquaintance.
He was a native of Port Deposit,
Md, and removed to Jefferson
county, w. Va, as a young man
and married Miss Hannah Blake.
of Rippon. He removed from
Jefferson county to Berryville after
the war, and was first engaged in
business with Mr.. John L. Thomp-
son, of the late firm of Thompson
& Ogden. Afterward he embarked
in contracting and building indie
pendently, and continued in busi-
ness until his failing health caused
his retirement a few years ago.
He was a gallant Confederate
soldier. At the opening of the
war he was a Colonel of militia,
but afterward joined Chew's Bat
terry and served with it throughout
the war.
He was the first gunner of the
command, and it is an authentic
fact that at the battle of Kernstown,
after the battery had been ordered
to fall back, he requested Colonel
Chew to allow him one more shot
at the Union troops, as his gun
was loaded and ready for firing.
The request was granted, and the
shell exploded just above an ap-
preaching squad of Union officers,
causing the very serious wounding

staff, was approaching at a gallOp,

brought from England by Wade
Hampton, afterward a General
and presented TO the Southern
Army. This gun was used in every
battle in which Chew's Battery
participated up to and including
the fight at Brandy Station, and
Mr.. Phillips often told of the guns
good work, and how, after the
command had been ordered to fal

the gun blew out the breech anc
