Automobile for Stage Line

Since the COURIER'S recent arti-
Gle concerning the idea to install
a large automobile on the turnpike
between Berryville and Win
chester, to take the place of the
present horse-drawn stage. the
COURIER has received hundreds of
verbal and written concentrations
of the course we advocated.
Mr.. CaStleman, who Is now
advertising a big sale of horses.
cattle, sheep, hogs, implements,
etc, to be held on February Is.
has informed this writer that his
stage-line horses are included in
the fifteen offered for sale. and
that he fully intends to put the
automobile in operation.
The COURIER is in possession of
the name of the probable chauffeur.
and we can personally assure
everybody that there will be no
reckless running on the turnpike,
and that the machine will be
handled in the most careful and
painstaking manner as refers to
the meeting of horses and teams
upon the road. There need be no
fear on the part of anyone that the
safety of women or children will
be jeopardized, as the machine will
be brought to 4 full stop when
horses appear to be frightened .
the speed of the machine will never
be faster than twelve or fifteen
miles per hour and will usually be
maintained at about ten miles per
hour.
Every public-Spirited citizen of
the community should extend his
moral and financial support to Mr..
CaStleman, aS the installation of
the automobile stage will be of vast
benefit to the whole people of this
section.

Ku Klux "reminiscences

The second instalment of remi-
niscenceS of the Ku klux Klan, by
Colonel John {. Reed, appears in
the February number of Uncle
RemuS'S Magazine, giving the ac-
count of how the presidential cam
paign of lS6S was carried for the
Democraticca candidate in Oglethrope
County, Georgia, despite the fact
that the negroes, together with the
few white Republicans, greatly
outnumbered the white masses.
While the article is only the account
of what happened in a very small
part of Georgia, it is of general
interest because it gives an idea of
the power the klan eXerted through
out the South 10y showing what one
Den accomplished in one district.
Colonel Reed writes interestingly
and without prejudice or bitterness.

and interesting address by Mr.. w.

to the Veterans of properly certi-
fled record of the crosses of honor.

ing and gratifying to the Veterans,
and they showed marked apprecia-
tion of the gracious kindness of the
Daughters.

ing the crosses was completed, =,
light refreshments were served
and a half hour spent in pleasant
conversation.

lOnged enough, and that every
Veteran should have the cross of
honor to which he is entitled.
