Mr.. James A. Forster. one of
Clarke c"unty's oldest and most
esteemed citizens, died at his home.
Jefferson's Fields" near Berry

illness OF about two weeks from
pneumonia. Mr. Forster was born
an 1929, and was in his 18th year.
The funeral was held from the

ciating, and the remains were in
TERED in Green Hill Cemetery.
Heissurvived by four daughters.
Mrs. w. Nj. Hardesty. and Misses
Mildred, Augusta and Ethel

Mr.. Forster, in very marked
degree, held the esteem of all who
knew him, for his purity of life.
his integrity of character, his kind
ness of heart, and his strong com
mon sense. As a son TO widowed
mother lee Was model of care and

a father he was loving and wise: a
a citizen he measured up to the full
standard Of a man, taking an intel

Electric Company Warming Up. .

The big turbines of the Winches-
ter and Washington City Railway
and Electric Company, at.Millville-
On-the Shenandoah, were started
last week in the presence of the
principal officers of the company,
and were in Il highly satisfactory
manner.
Electrical machinery. when idle
absorbs great deal of moisture,
and it was for the purpose of
drying OUT the machinery that
tine tests were made. 1t will take
probably two weeks for all of the
dynamos transformers, etc, To be
thoroughly tested and dried out.
As soon as that is accomplished, q,
the current will he ready for dis
tribution to Charles Town, Berry
vile and Winchester.
All of the line work has been
completed, all of the necessary
work at the big MillvilIe plant is
completed, the station house and
equipment in Winchester have
been installed, and only small
amount of work is necessary to
finish the installation Of equip
ment at the Berryville station.
With no bad luck or accidents.
the city of Winchester should be
lighted from the new plant before
April /.
The matter OF contract for
Street lighting in Berryville has
been held mp in the Council until a
decision can be reached as to the
number of lights necessary.
AS soon as the committee makes
its report, it is thought that bids
for lighting the town will be ad-
vertised. The form of bids will
probably follow the form suggest
ed by the COURIER and provide
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES service.
1t is believed that the Battletown
Gas Company, which now holds a
contract for lighting the streets,
will also submit bid for the new
contract. The present contract ex-
pires in October, and a new contract
should be arranged with one com
pany or the other before the expi-
ration of the present one.

Death Of Mrs. RebeCCa HumSten.

Mrs. Rebecca +. Humsten, widow
of the late Mr.. B. +. Humsten.
died at her home near Berryville
last Friday morning, in her 69th
year.
She is survived by four daugh-
ters, Mrs. VIM. NJ. Gaunt, of
Boyce; Mrs. f. A. Humsten. of
kernstown; Mrs. Il. III. Sprint, of
Winchester; Mrs. IL. f.. Boyer, of
Gaylord; and two sons, Mr.. f. L.
HumSten, of Middletown, and Mr..
j. l.. Humsten, who lives on the
home place.
These mourn her loss, and re-
member with gratitude the num-
berlesS tokens of sweet Christian
life among them. Mrs. Hum
stem was a model mother and n
noble women. Her daughters-in-
law and sons-in-law found in her a
mother with Il mothers interest
and love, and her visits to them
were anticipated with great
pleasure.
One of the rules of her life was
never to speak unkindly of anyone.
Many years ago she chose 'the
better part" and remained true to
her choice, living the life "hid with
Christ's in God, )" so that when her
Lord spoke and said, Tits enough:
come up higher" while she could
not hear with physical ear, the
spiritual ear heard, and she was
ushered into the unknown realities
of Heaven.
She magnitied the home life, and
in her death deep gloom has come
over her loved ones; but they are
comforted in the hope of an eternal
life, spent with Mother in the
land of the sky" where Christ
has gone to prepare a place"
In the death of such, life ends on
earth to the glory of God and the
hope of those who linger yet a
little while" "
Her funeral was held Monday
morning at IL O'clock from the
home which she loved SO we'll. and
was conducted by Rev. Julian

and Rev. j. Harry Smith, of the

Saloon Location Fight Again ?

We are reliably informed that
an application will be made at the
March term of Circuit Court for
the granting of a saloon license for
the east side of Church street.
We are told that a petition to
that effect has been and is being
circulated.
The COURIER opposes the grant
ing of license for saloon on the
east side of Church street. for the
same reason that we opposed such
movement last year. We think
one side of this street should be
kept clear of saloons and the crowds
which naturally hang around IL
front of them.
1t also strikes US that the ruling
of the Circuit Court Mt this term
should be so pointedly final that
citizens of the community will not
be forced to go to the trouble and
expense of contesting such an ap-
pllcation at every license granting
term which means every year.
We want to warn every person
against signing such a petition.
unless they are willing to 90 into
open court and sustain their opin-
ions legally.
Many people do not know of the
petition being circulated, and it is
I'm justice to these, a well a, those
who may sign the petition without
seriously considering both sides of
the question, that we address our
article.
Think well before YOU act!
