OF ashes and other debris.
The firemen did heroic work and the
large number of volunteer firenen also
deserve special credit In subduing the
flames and saving personal property.

And you'n get yourself in trouble Just as

Well, she got to feelin' nervous, and the

which away he few.
zoe himself was just as honest as the
longest day was long,
And reckon that he never had q thought
of goin' wrong,
Till his wife got fool suspicious and be-

Thinkin' that he didn't love 'er and was

Cave Discovered at Charles Town.

Quite an extensive cave was dis
coverd in Charles Town last week
while workmen were engaged in
excavating for the foundation for
new building.
A number of Berryville people
went to Charles Town to inspect
the new cavern, among them Mr..
G. n. Galloway.
Mr.. Galloway brought back q
number of pieces of rocky forma-
ton from the cave, the pieces bear
ing very close resemblance to
rough coral. He penetrated the
cave in a boat for about 800 feet,
and could have gone a great deaI
further but for the fact that the
boat was not very substantial.
A great deal of excitement was
occasioned by the discovery of the
cave, as many people feared the
town would be engulfed, but the
feeling subsidized on more mature
thought.

WELL-SPEKT MONEY.

We recently received the follow
ing letter:
Il enclose renewal for my sub
scriptlon. Let the COURIER come
on, as it has been doing for the
past twenty years. recently
read an advertisement in the CoU-
RIER and was able to buy for sos
an article which l would not sell
for 800. l consider that the
COURIER is worth 81 of any body's
money, if it never has anything
in it but advertisements"
The writer of the above letter is
one of the most shrewd business
men in this County, and he places
every dollar where it will do him
the most good and make the most
satisfactory returns. The fact that
he has been a subscriber TO the
COURIER for twenty years speaks
encouraging words for us, and the
expenditure of $50 or S25 for the
paper in that time has, through
our advertising, been more than
returnd to him by his recent pur-
chase.
1t has been well-spent money.
