FARMERS MAY LOSE $4,000

Farmers of Warren and Rappahan-
mock counties, ii is said, will lose be-
tween 1856, 900 and $40, 600 by an assign
ment Just made by the Front Royal
Milling Company j. W. Welfley, mana
ger.
1t is alleged that Welaey has recent
ly been issuing due bills in payment for
large quantities Of wheat purchased from
growers in these counties. telling the
farmers he would sell the grain for GER
tain amounts IN a specified time. The
farmers thought the grain was being
stored in the mill elevators and made
extensive shipments.
Creditors now pressing for payment
have begun a search of the mill proper
ty through a court process. This has
revealed that there is practically no
wheat on the premises. Investigation
so far has failed to disclose what has
become Of the grain or the proceeds Of
the sale.

THE BLUE AND THE GREY

BY the flow OF the inland river,
When the fleets of iron had fled,
Where the blades OF graye-grass
culver,
Asleep are the ranks Of the dead.
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day.
Under the one-the blue,
Under the other-the Grey.
Those in the robings OF glory.
Those in the gloom OF defeat.
All with the battle-blood CORY
In the dust OF eternity meet.
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day,
Under the laurel. the Blue.
Under the willow. the Grey.
From the silence OF sorrowful hours
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day.
Under the roses, the Blue,
Under the lilies. the Grey.
So. with an equal splendor,
The morning sun rays fall
With a touch impartially tender
On the blossoms. blooming for all
Under the sod and the dew.
Whiting the judgment daay,
Broidered with gold. the Blue,
Mellowed with gold, the Grey.
So. when the summer calleth
On forest and field OF grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drips Of rain
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day,
Wet with rain. the Blue,
Wet with rain. the Grey.
Sadly. but not upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm OF years that are rad
ing
No drawer battle was won.
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day,
Under the blossoms. the Blue,
Under the blossoms. the Grey.
No more shall the war cry sever
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves ol
our dead.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day,
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Grey.
