IN MEMORIAM.

In loving memory of my dear hus-
band, Frank Kisner, who died April
goth, 1918:
Alone in this cold and lonely world,
The loving arm on which l rested,
is no longer at my side;
Andthe voice loved to follow,
Never more shall be my guide.
Your well-remembered footsteps,
| was always glad to hear,
But now that they are silent,
l have shed many, many tears.
Sleep on, my dearest husband,
And take your rest,
AS God called you home
He thought it best.
In silence you suffered,
In patience you bore,
Until God called you home
To suffer no more.
1t was hard, so hard to part with thee
But Gods strong arms are sup
porting me-
By one who loved him more than
tongue can tell, his loving wife,
Dora Kisner.

HEART SPEAKS IN WILL.

Sentiment prevailed to q large
extent throughout the will OF MISS
Mary Curtis Lee, the last surviving
child of Gen. Robert z. Lee, which
wasfiled for probate Wednesday.
This spirit seemed to have actuated
her in all of her requests, and was
quite apparent whenever reference
was made to endearing ties OF child
hood or where the subject OF memoir
ials to her distinguished father was
given consideration. In giving SlO,-
900 tothe old Christ Church at Alex
andria, Va, she said:
81 bequeath $4,000 tothe Christ
Church in Alexandria, Va, for It's
preservation, improvement and cur
rent expenses of the church, but with
the same reservation as to its clergy
mans salary, which should be raised
by the congregation themselves. 1t
was the old church of my parents
and grandparents and of my own
children, and is associated with many
of my happiest days"
In connection with her bequest OF
$4,000 for the preservation OF her
| fathers monument in Richmond,
fd.s Sic IldhCS lICoC OOOOA feseAOAiS
"Col. Cutshaw, now dead, was for
merly the official that had it in
charge, and l do not know who sue
ceeded him; but whoever he is,
know he will be Virginian, to whom
it will be labor of love to care for
this monument, and who may be
trusted to expend the money care
fully and judiciously.
Personally ] have always wished
| the removal of the green pantine, OF
whatever it's technical name, and the
bronze restored to it's pristine color
as is the case of most of the monu.
ments in Europe much older thar
this one. In the beginning it mich,
easily have been done and at a~mod
crate cost, but now | am, NC sure
must leave the decision to others, but
consider it at present = decided dis
| fgurement to an Otherwise beautiful
' ro~~vment"

CHARLES TOWN AND RANSOM
PROBABLY WILL HAVE ANO-
THEIR RAILROAD.
lINInN STATION PROPOSED.

The Spirit of jefferson has been
informed by competent authority
that there is strong probability
that the Western Maryland Railroad
viii shortly start to build there con-
templated line from Cherry Run to
Charles Town via Martinsburg,
where they expect to connect with
branch of the Old Dominion Line
now running from Washington to
Bluemont.
The Old Dominion Branch will be
uilt from Leesburg to Charles
3own.
County Engineer A. Spottswood
cambridge fully agrees with the Wes-
tern Maryland Engineers that the
grade would be perfectly practical to
bring the Western Maryland through
Charles Town, instead of over one
of the routes heretofore surveyed
north of town, and the proposed
route of the Old Dominion from
Charles Town is either down the Cat
Tail Greek or over the present route
of the Baltimore and Ohio down
the Halltown run to Millville, and
from there to Harpers Ferry, where
it would cross the Shenandoah river
and follow the South side of the Po-
tomac to Leesburg.
There is a movement under way,
backed by prominent business men
of Charles Town and Ransom, to
have all four of the railroads that
will then reach Charles Town to
erect a fine new union depot at a
point near where the new county
road running from st. Hilda's Hal
in Ransom to the bend in the Shep.

Ferry pike crosses the track of the

COL ROOSEVELT DIES SUDDEN
" MONDAY MORNING.

Theodore Roosevelt, for seven
wears President of the United states,
died at his home at Sycamore mn
at 4:15 O'Clock yesterday morning;
The famous American, exponent OF
"The Strenuous Life" who nad
fought in the Spanish-American war
and risked death in hunting big game
and exploring the. jungles OF AFRICA
and South America passed away
peacefully while asleep, the victim
of blood clot in the lung, resulting
from infiamatory rheumatism
traceable to an infected tooth from
which he suffered 20 years ago.
Probably the main fight in the
West Virginia Legislature about to
convene will be over a production tax
on coal, oil and gas. 1t is an entire
" lust proposition that this great
natural wealth of West Virginia
should not be taken out without pay
ing fair proportion of the state
taxes, and it is hoped that the repre-
sentatives of the Eastern Panhandle
will fully look after the interest OF
their constituents and work and vote
for this legislation.
