According to persons living along the
line OF the Norfolk and Western Railway,
IFS passenger service is worse under gov
eminent management than heretofore.
All passenger traffic, il is said, is being
side tracked for the movement OF freight.
II was recently reported that all but a
few passenger trains would be withdrawn
entirely until the freight congestion is
relieved.
The above item appeared in the Balti-
more Sun few days ago. having been
sent from Winchester II is not true.
Speaking for the Shenandoah Valley
division OF the N. & w., its passenger
service is as satisfactory as can be ex-
pected, when the extreme weather con-
ditions and the necessarily heavy freight
traffic are considered. Its passenger
trains arc being managed most efficiently
and when they are delayed it is usually
because they are held to make connec-
tons from other roads, an accommodation
that is appreciated by through travellers,
even ii il is bit annoying to those who
have TO wait We doubt If there is a
section of railroad in this country that is
run more efficiently than the Shenandoah
Valley division OF the N & w, and the
people along the 239, mile stretch between
Hagerstown and Roanoke should be
mighty we'll satisfied.

and 10 days. Surviving her arc three sons
and five daughters. as follows: Charles ~ EIc r

Md. Mrs, J. T. Penner, Baltimore; and Mrs
leaves 4S grandchildren and 40 greatgrand-
children.
In sickness she breathed not murmur,
For the Comforter stood by her side,
And whispered fear not l am with thee,
With me thou shall ever abide.
Then FASTENED the pale faced boatman,
She heard the soft dip OF the oar,
AS over the river he bore her,
Across to the beautiful shore.
Mother, when the violets open,
And the trees in beauty wave.
We will come and scatter flowers
On our darling mothers grave.
We know that while the birds are singing
And the blossoms deck the sod.
That our mothers soul is resting
In the pradiSe OF God.
When God called she answered, Eyes, Lord,
here am l."
Then the chariot was lowered and she rose to
the sky;
Bright throngs at the portals OF gates opened
Sang aloud their hosannas as her soul passed
inside
Twas so hard to lose her, but Jesus will
guide:
When troubles assail meath His wing can
hide;
I'll trust Him faithfully, and soon he will
say,
Come, rest with thy loved one through one
endless day"
By her daughter,
MRS. S. L. SWAYNE.

A curious complication was developed
in the enforcement of the draft law and
came 10 light in this county few days
ago. A couple from Thomas, W. Va,
who thought they were married in 1910
by Rev. ]. A. Yost. at Harpef's Ferry,
could not prove il when the husband at
tempted to have himself classed in one Of
the deferred classes under the draft law.
They could lind no evidence OF their
marriage anywhere, so they decided to
come here and have the knot tied. A
license was procured at the county clerks
office and Rev. H. M. Moffett married
them in way not to be mistaken in the
future. George r. Dawson was the name
of the groom, and the brides name was
Nora B. Lear, or Mrs Geo. R. Dawson,
she did not know which.-Adpocate.

An Appeal To Those Back Home"

The Stale Council of Defense OF West
Virginia asks that we publish the follow
ing resolution OF the Council OF National
Defense just issued: 1.-THE Council Of
National Defense desires TO inform the
people OF the country that abundant food
is supplied to the soldiers and sailors in
the camps and cantonments, and that the
sending of food to these men by their
friends and families is not in any respect
necessary; that the aggregate quantity of
food thus privately sent is enormous, and
that much OF it, having been conveyed
long distances in heated express or mail
cars, is more or less spoiled. and conse-
quently injurious to the health Oft the men.
Therefore, in the interest Of the conser-
walton OF food, and also The health OF the
men. the Council of National Defense
requests the public TO discontinue the
sending OF food-stufis to the camps"

Appreciation of the Red Cross.

The Shepherdstown branch of the
Red Cross has received number OF
letters from our men in The Army and
Navy who received the Christmas box

ton Of the gifts and Of the generous,
kindly spirit that prompted them. We
quote from some Of the letters.

press my hearty appreciation and

THE liquor people are dying hard.
Their latest effort is a series OF adver-
tisements seeking to prevent the States
from adopting the national prohibition
amendment. They are trying to bully
the Southern States, which are solid for
the amendment, by threatening IL they
vote for national prohibition the north
ern Democrats, who are assumed to be
ali wet, will no longer work with the
South to prevent negro domination and
the so-called force bills that are from
time to time proposed in Congress. This
is an impudent threat on the part OF the
whiskey men which will not carry a
great deal of weight-indeed, its very
impertinence will help to defeat them.
The South has from its own resources
been able TO take care OF the negro
question, and force bills are ghosts that
no longer walk in these days OF enlight-
eminent and fraternity.
Having solved the negro problem, the
South is now very wisely doing its best
TO end an evil far worse--the liquor
traffic-and when this accursed thing
has been outlawed and the legalized
saloon no longer exists there can be no
other question to alarm the people OF
this section.
The fact OF the matter is, while we
are proud Of the truth that the South is
practically solid for prohibition, this
is by no means a sectional question. II
the liquor interests shall carry out their
threats to oppose and ostracise those
parts Of our country which are for pro-
hibition they will not only have to 90
against the South, but must take in an
enormous block Of our Western States,
60 as far north as Maine, clear across
the continent TO Washington and Ore
gon, and find friends only in a few
Eastern States like New York and
Pennsylvania, now the last line trenches
of General John Barleycorn.
The liquor business is doomed in the
United States, and those who are now
having spasms over this certainty may
as well give up. Prolonging their agon,
will DO them no good.
