In the Malay archipelago is a reptile
much like the mythical dragon. 1t
has false ribs that extend the loose
skin and form its wings. There are also
a frog with spreading feet that makes
a parachute which enables 1t to fit
from tree to tree and a flying lemur
that can spread out Its whole body
like an umbrella and leap and fly a
hundred feet at a time from the top Of
one tree to another.

Company, for damages for the

verdict for Sl35 and costs, but the
verdict is subject to the action of

Electric Current Turned On

The electric current from the
plant of the Winchester and Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany at Millvile-On-Shenandoah
was turned into Berryville for the
first time last Friday night, the
first building lighted being the
Battletown Inn.
BY Monday night the Bank of
Clarke county, the store of 5. +.
Baughman, and the office of DR..
b. o. Grove were lighted.
Yesterday and today the linemen
have been working to get lights
into the COURIER Office and Grace
Episcopal Church, on Churchstreet,
and the Presbyterian Church and
other houses on Main street.
1t Is expected that the lighting
of all of the buildings which have
been wired Will be completed this
week.
The lights are noticeably bril-
liant and steady, and glance at
the gas street light at the inter
section of Church and Main streets
and a comparison OF that light with
the incandescent lamps in the
Baughman store will give q good
demonstration cf the comparative
strength of the two lights.
No action has been taken by the
Town Council looking to advertis-
| ing for bids for lighting the town
streets, although tits believed that
action will be taken at the next
meeting Of the Council, as the
present contract expires in October
and it is imperatively necessary
that the successful bidder should
be given time in which 10 get his
fixtures and equipment up before
the contract Is dated to start. The
people of BerryviNe will not be
satisfied with less than an all-night
every-night service, whether gas
or electric. If the contract i.
given TO the gas company it vii
be necessary to install more anc
larger equipment for that purpose
I If the contract Is awarded 10 the
electric company, they will have tC

If prompt action Is taken by tn,

Council Makes Discard and Draw

The Berryville Town Council
made its discard last week at spe-
cial meeting and drew down to its
hand, as poker players say. The
action concerned the new depot
which has been proposed here by
the y. & W. Some time ago con-
demnatiOn proceedings were insti-
tuted to gain possession of the
strip of land needed for a street.
way to the new depot site. The
land Is owned by Mr.. Nv. Marks.
a commission was appointed by
the Circuit Court, and a price of
$500 was set upon the land. Then
the Council offered to buy the land
and turn it over to the Railroad
Company If they would construct
the street and a stone retaining
wall for it. The Railroad Com
pany "bluffed" on that proposition
by saying that the stone retaining
wall was not necessary. Last week
the Railroad Company and Mr..
Marks reached some kind of an
agreement in regard to a strip of
thirteen feet more land, in addi-
ton to the 5O-foot strip already
condemned. with the idea of using
a straight Fill" without any re-
tanning wall.
The Council had previously been
requested to meet and see if they
could withdraw their requirement
of the stone wall, and when they
met (the railroad representatives
not considering it necessary to at
tend)they promptly rescinded their
former proposal to pay for the
land and donate it to the railroad
as a street-way, and passed a reso-
luton to the effect that the land
could now be secured for the sum
of $500 tthe sum fixed by the
commission). and that if the Rail-
road Company wanted it at that
price, to come and take it. Other
wise, the Council had no PROPOSE
tiOns to submit. We will now
await with interest the next devel-
opment in this most amusing
controversy.

Unlucky Day for the Serpent.

Friday is reputed to be an un-
lucky day for people generally.
but we can't vouch for the truth of
the ascertain. Certain it is, how
ever, that last Friday was an un-
lucky day for that 6 foot 4 inch
blacksnake that Huckster Rams
burg met on the Blue Ridge. Mr..
Ramsburg promptly climed down
from his egg wagon as soon as be
observed the snake, and, securing
a couple of good rocks, started the
fight which resulted in the death
of the snake. He is good snake
now; but last Friday was his un-
lucky day.

How 10 Break Up a Cold.

1t may be surprise to many to learn
thatasevere cold can be completely brok-
en- up in one or two days time. To do
this, however, prompt action is necessary.
The first symptoms of a cold are dry,
loud cough, a p,ofuse watery discharge
from the nose, and Thin white coating
on the tongue. When Chamberlain :
cough remedy is taken every hour on the
first appearance Of these symptoms, it
counteracts the effect of the cold and re-
stores the system TO a healthy condition
