Back to Florida.

Mrs. May Lieser, Bisbee, Ariz., re-
turning soon to the State she loves,
Florida, speaks in glowing terms of its
desrability as home. No State can
offer like inducements. She has seen
men go there without a penny, and in
a few years own good farms, free from
debt Fruit growing and poultry rails
ing are paying Investments. Vegetable
gardening is also most profitable.

The Inscription On the Coins.

e. A. Bennett, Huntington, w. Va,
approves of our editorial as to the mot
to on the coins, but suggests a compro-
mise, since we have people among us
from all over the world-pagans, Bud
dhists, Jews, Christians. infidels, etc,
but all united in the worship of money.
Why not put on the coins, In God we
trust, and this is the god?

The meeting of the stockholders
of the Berryville Turnpike Com
pany, which was called for last
Saturday.was postponed until next
Saturday at 10 a. m. The official
notice appears elsewhere.
1t is stated on good authority
that the meeting next Saturday is
for the purpose of finally accepting
the bid for constructing the bridge
over the Opequon on the turnpike
leading from Berryville to Win
chester.
A. soon is the stockholders have
accepted the bid. work will he

Know; poisonous chemicals and
drugs are labeled in plain letters.
SO that all may know; even canned
goods, meats, whiskies, and all
food products of deleterious or
poisonous nature or which contain
poison IN any shape, are now
forced to be plainly branded. under
laws recently passed.
Then why, as our people respect
and cherish their women, should
they bc allowed to accept the
poison of life from infamous and
deadly animals in human formg
The whole matter may be termed
an academic" discussion: but we
are unable to sec the danger in full

Home PATRONAGE.

In last weeks issue we uninten-
tionally omitted the name Of ID. II.
Jones from the list of Berryville
dealers who handle the Cigars
manufactured by F. Ii. Morris.
If you read Mr.. Morris adver-
tiSement ON fourth page, You will
understand the character of tobacco
used in his cigars, and can better
Judge what YOU are getting.
When you buy cigars made else
where, YOU cannot tell what they
contain until YOU smoke one of
them. When YOU buy the Morris
cigars YOU know eXeactly what they
contain. Any time you feel like
watching the actual process of
manufacture, call at Morris store
and he will show YOU through his
factory.
But remember to buy home
made cigars. 1t will keep your
money at home. where it belongs.

read and digest the statement of the
annual levy of taxes printed in this

This statement, which is publish

which the money is spent by the
officials of the County in the dis
charge Of their duty.

An Interesting Address.

The address of Rev. DIR. William
ii. Milton, of Roanoke, son of Mr..
w. T. Milton, of Berryville, de-
livered in St. Johns Episcopal
Church, Roanoke, on the hundredth
anniversary of the birth of Gen.
Robert +. Lee january I9), was
one of the most able addresses of its
kind that we have read.
The address was printed in full
in the Roanoke World, making six
columns. With the CoURIER's 5
larger type, ,itwould probably make
eight columns, and, ON account of its
length. we are thus prevented from
re-printing it.
The address is certainly an ex-
cellent one, and, coming from a
native son of Clarke county. is es-
pecially interesting to us.

Plenty of Ice.

During the past week this sec
ton has experienced zero weather
on one occasion, and the thermome-
ter has shown the mercury close to
that point nearly every day. As
a result, plenty of ice has been
formed on all the ponds and bodies
OF water here. Ice houses are be-
ing filled with an excellent quality
of the product. and it is hoped that
Berryville and vicinity will not
suffer from an ice famine similar
TO that of last summer, when ice
sold at one cent per pound.
The project of erecting an ice
factory here, which was talked of
last summer, has apparently been
abandoned, as the talk has sub
sided.
