Elder Confirmed as Postmaster

The nomination of MIR. j. X.
Elder as postmaster at BerryviIIe
to succeed the late M Alexander
Mccormick, was confirmed by the
Senate in executive session Monday
afternoon.
This action on the part of the
Senate settles a very determined
fight which had not only been made
by the Republican organization of
Clarke County against Mr.. Elders
confirm alton, but which had been
taken up by the Committee of the
Seventh Congressional District.
At the recent Republican conven-
ton IN Luray a resolution was
adopted in protest against Mr..
Elders appointment.
While the appointment is not
what we would consider popular
with the Postoffice patrons here,
it is beyond the pale of Democratic
criticism. When a Democrat is
elected President we will look fol
and expect a Democrat to be ap.
pointed Postmaster at Berryville-
and not before.

Auditorium Stage Should be Enlarged

a large number of Berryville
and Clarke county people attended
the Isle of Spice" in Winchester
last Friday night and we're pleased
with the tuneful music and we'll
drilled chorus work of the excellent
company.
The appearance of the Isle of
Spice" company gave another illus
tration of the need for charging
the Auditorium stage. The per-
formance had to be ''cut" in a
number of particulars, as the com
pany could not maneuver upon the
stage without colliding with each
other. neach side ofthe stage three
small boxes (which have no value
as vantage points from which to
see the performance and are seldom
used unless the house is crowded,
could be eliminated by any ordi-
nary builder and the stage be
brought forward to new align,
ment. Such a change would ado
materially to both the comfort OF
the players and the pleasure OF
the audience. Very few small
companies play at the Auditorium
and all of the larger companie:
complain bitterly of the stage ac
commodations. If the patrons
make their complaint sufficiently
loud and long we have no doub
the remedy will be promptly
forthcoming.
Brother Star Man, what do you
think about it!

Happy Sequel to Wartime Romance.

The marriage of Mrs. Margaret

John j Hicks, of Blair county, Pa.
by Rev. Julian Broaddus, ID. D..
1.-THE Baptist Parsonage last Friday
brought tea happy ending another
Of the North and South romance of
the wartime period.
During the Civil War Mr.. Hicks
served with a Pennsylvania regi-
ment through the Valley and there
he met Miss Margaret Haley. An
Acquaintance thus begun soon ripen-
ed into love, and they became
engaged. When Mr.. Hicks regi-
ment was ordered away, the young
lovers corresponded for some time.
but Miss Haley's father. who OBJ
lected to the match, intercepted the
letters from her lover and she, be-
lieving him faithless. wrote and
broke the engagement.
She afterward married Mr.. More
land, while Mr.. Hicks married a
young lady in Pennsylvania.
Children were born to both. but
Mr. Moreland and Mrs. Hicks died
several years ago.
Three years ago Mr.. Hicks at
tended reunion of Federal vet
Grams at Winchester. and decided
that he would look up his old
sweetheart.
He found her a widow, with
children grown-up, and his own
children having married and de-
parted from the parental roof il
was the most natural thing that
these two people-alone and un.
burdened with family should
straighten out the tangled threads
of misunderstanding, open a cor.
respondence which has lasted since,
and that Mr.. Hicks should come
back last week and claim Mrs.
Moreland as his wife.
The facts of the case present ar
excellent opportunity for the play.

and touching drama.
The COURIERextends best wishes
to Mr.. Hicks and his wife for 8
long life of love and JOY and
content.

Yes, we might do it. We haven t

hurt Us, and it would, as he sug-
gests. help to fill up. We might

thank God, we do not have to do it
unless we feel like it. 1t would
not hurt him. either. to come
around and say: Give me a col
umn or half column of space for
an advertisement, and here is the
money for it. BY doing this he
would become deserter to that
grand army of deadheads who ex-
pect the newspapers to continually
note the improvements they make,
by giving them free puffs and for
which they never pay a cent. 1t
is high time for all classes to learn
that newspaper is a business
enterprise the same as dry goods

When peerless Pickett famed and flashed
Against the heights where cannon crashed
And rifles poured leaden rain!
