Automobile Notice.

From my knowledge of the great
interest awaiting the successful op-
Grafton of my proposed Winchester
Berryville aH Bluemont Automo-
bile, as scheduled, wish to state
that the present White steam car
was only purchased for demonsta-
ton, and upon successful operation
of same, to see demand for automo-
bile service between these points.
1t has been my intention from the
first to install in its place a very
much larger and powerful automo-
bile. 1t is hoped the public will
give this line its entire patronage,
as past experience has proved that
two or more lines between these
points will prove poor service and
failure to all.

Letter to ChaS. NJ. BrOun.
Berryville, Va.


Dear Sir: A bank messenger lost a
small coin. He set his bag down and
looked for ii. Found it, but somebody
else had run of with his bag.
A man who is going to paint had bet
ter look out for his gallons. Devoe is
the least gallons paint.
It's gallons that cost; it isn't the price
of gallon. With one paint, 10 gallons
is plenty; another, IL or 12 or 13 and so on
to % gallons; and every gallon has 10 be
paid-for and painted-$e to 81 day for
painting paint stuifed-out with some sort
of whitewash. The less the price of a
gallon, the more the gallons.
Bank messengers better lookout for
their bags and not stop to hunt for small
coin; and property owners better look
. out for the gallons that make the expense,
! and not for the price which has nothing
to do with It.

Rag Rugs are Back Again.

1t is quite surprising what aruis-
tic rugs can be made from rags
that have been torn into strips from
one-half To one inch in width and
dyed some pretty shade, says the
New Idea Woman's Magazine for
May. Muslin, heavy unbleached
muslin, and undershirts can all be
utilized, and when dyed in the
sane dye will not all take the same
shade. which gives Il variegated
appearance TO the rug when com
pleted that is quite effective.
Some households have old chenille
curtains which they have not the
heart To throw away although good
taste has long Since condemned
them as hangings. These may be
raveled, and the chenille makes a
good material for crocheted work.
If not heavy enough, use two or
three strands at once.
The most artistic results are
obtained, however by buying new
material, or what is known as
seconds, which can be bought in
large cities for nominal price by
the pound. Lengths of five and
six yards of outing flannel in vari-
Gus pale shades can be dyed, and
when crocheted make soft, pretty

intruder. that sixty-siN gunboats and

dence. and more are still passlngv'
General Smith turned very pale. \
moment later lie cried In a loud voice:
This ball is at an end, The enemy

Then the commander turned TO the
bearer OF this important news, thanked
him for the service and apologized for
his harsh reception.
On Christmas day General Lee NOV
ed out OF Nicksburg with SIX regiments
OF infantry and two batteries TO check
General Sherman in his landing on the
Eazoo river thirteen miles distant.
General Lee occupied the bluffs and
other high ground along line of ten
miles. There. on the three days fol-
lowing Christmas. was much bloody
skirmishing, and ON the Doth was

and ,ae northern general abandoned his
atte@'?t - yet into Vicksburg. Thus
the city was saved TO the Confederacy
for more than six months.
The man IN muddy boots and drip
ping clothes who broke up the ball
and brought about the sanguinary con-
fiict at ChickaSaw bayou. n brilliant
Confederate victory, was Philip II.
Fall, Il soldier detailed as a telegraph
operator. Lee :. Daniel. another Con-
federate teleSrapher. had co-operated
with him In saving Nicksburg. The
details of this i.saortant service, fur
nishing one Of the most romantic sto-
rleS of the s-a~ hetween the states,
have been supplied recently by General
Lee himself. the only surviving lieu
tenant general OF the south.
Tclegraphers were scarce in the
south when the war began. Most OF
the operators were northerners and
went home. When young Daniel and
Fail enlisted at Vicksburg the dis
covery that they could handle the
Morse key and code caused them to be
detailed for telegraphing. Horace B.

those terrible batteries trained down
on the stream, rocked frightfully ON

He did reach there safely and broke

Later he learned that the hueA fiotilla
