Big Shipments Of Flour

The Berryville Milling Company
is doinga good business these days
on its flour, and is building up an
immense trade.
Their specialties, Brilliant, -
Primrose" and Virginia Daisy"
are well liked by consumers, and
wholesale dealers and jobbers are
increasing the size of their orders
with each consignment.
During the last ten days more
than 500 barrels of flour have
been shipped by the Milling Com
pany, and many orders are now on
their books for future delivery.
We think this speaks we'll for
the energy and ability of MrR A.

NOTED to permanent. Manager al

AutOmObiliStS Pass Through,

Eighteen automobiles, entered
in the endurance run of the Rich
mond Times Dispath. on their way
from Washington to Harrisonburg,
passed through Berryville Friday
afternoon.
OF the eighteen, nine passed
through Berryville at a greater
speed than permitted by law, but
no arrests were made, as the
people here seemed to take pleasure
in watching them hit her up"
We noticed in the Times
Dispatch that the contestants were
warned, just before starting, that
it was the desire of the Times
Dispatch that no speed laws be
broken, but we have no doubt the
contestants took it as a joke.
Some of them, including Miss
Dunlop, who ran into Mrs. Kelley
and Mrs. Rice, had difficulty with
the officers of the law further rdowr
in the Valley, and some of them
paid fines.

High Praise for Delegate GrigSby

In speaking of members of the
Virginia House of Delegates. the
Richmond Journal has the follow
ing very complimentary notice of
Hon. j.. Ralph Grigsby, Of Clarke
county:
During the last session of the
General Assembly the counties of
Clarke and Warren were most ably
represented by j. X. Grigsby, a
resident of Berryville. Although
this was Mr.. Grigsby's first term
as a delegate, he has demonstrated
to all his ability as man of wisdom
and good common sense. He has
also occupied a place on the stand
ing Committees on Insurance and
Banking. on Public Property, and
Privileges and Elections. 1t is a
peculiar coincidence that Speaker
Byrd, Senator Ward and Delegate
Grigsby grew up as boys together
In the same neighborhoOd, and
now, after lapse of more than a
quarter of a century, are again as
sociated as members of the same
General Assembly. While this is
Mr.. Grigsby's first term in the
lower House, he has served the
people of his County as Supervisor
for two terms. He is a faithful
and consistent Democrat. In
private life Mr.. Grigsby pursues
the Occnpion of a farmer, being
the owner of a splendid tract of
land near Berryville, on Rural
Route No. ,. Since coming to
Richmond as a Delegate Mr..
Grigsby has created a most favor
able impression among his asso-
ciates. and his record is one of
which anyone might feel proud. :"
The COURIER has considerable
pride in reproducing the Journals
comment. and it shows that in a
body of men the size of our
General Assembly, composed of
the brightest minds in the State.
our own Delegate did not get lost.
From time to time during the
session of the Legislature we COM
mented on the fact that Ralph
Grigsby was on hand and voting
when his vote was needed. and
expressed himself with point and
courage on any question which
came up for discussion. and we do
not think he missed any of the roll
calls of the House. We think our
affairs are in good hands at Rich
mond. and believe Mr.. Grigsby
will do much in the next Legisla-
ture to help his County, District
and State.

Ladies Have Narrow Escape

a buggy in which Mrs. George
Rice and Mrs. Paul ID. Kelley,
both of Berryville, were driving to
Winchester last Friday was struck
by an automobile near Minnie
Wood Chapel, Mrs. Rice was

High School Wins and Loses.

The High School went to Win
chester on Thursday and were de-
feated by the 5. V. A.. baseballists
by a score of 8 to 5.
On Saturday the 5. V. A, boys
came here and the High School
team won by score of s to4.
Saturdays game was replete
with brilliant playing on each side,
some of the plays being of the
spectacular variety.
For the visitors Grim easily led
his team, both at bat and in the
field, while John Moore was the
quick-thInking, clean, accurate
player whom we know so we'll on
the local team. It's a pity Grim
isn't local boy. as he would make
a star addition to our local team.
For the High School, Phil
Powers pitched good game, and
was lucky to win, as his support
wobbled badly at times. Walker
caught a superb game, Foley
starred at third, and Mesmer
handled some pretty plays at first
base.
1t looked as though the game
might go into extra innings when
the score was a tie at 4 to 4. and
John Moore was pitching superbly,
but poor throw by one of his
tielders let in two runs and lost the
game.
The ;. V. a. boys are a clever
lot. and we are always glad to see
them no our ball field.
After the game the visiting
players were entertained at tea by
Mrs. A. Moore Jr.. and Mrs. j. r.
Elder.

Lonely are our hearts today.

Has forever passed away.
The little toys are put away.
The little clothes laid by:
And a mothers hope, fathers jov.
In deaths cold arms doth lie.
Go little pilgrim, 10 thy home,
On yonder blissful shore:
We miss thee here, but soon will come
Where thou hast gone before.
Farewell, sister, but not forever.
There will be glorious dawn:
We shall meet 10 part no never
ON the resurrection morn.
Tho thy darling form lies sleeping
In the cold and silent tomb;
Thou shalt have a glorious waking
When the blessed Lord doth come.

And lead US in the Heavenly way;

In realms of everlasting day.
