poorest known in the history of the
industry in this county. Those who
shipped direct from their orchards
realized far more money than
those preferred to use the storage
and wait for better prices. The lat
ter class has failed, and many have
been compelled to sell their crops
at a price much below that offered
earlier in the season. 1t Is under
stood that this stock are being pur-
chased by the cider and eyaporat-
ing plants.
Because of the inferior quality of
weather, the apples-eyery variety
have withered and decayed, and
those who have patronized the
stofages, hoping to find better
market, are having difficulty In
making sales, thereby not realiz-
ing what they would have had they
made early sales, and have not to
their credit as much money as
their friends who took advantage
Of early prices.
In spite of all hindrances Berke-
ley county's prosperity Is a "fruity"
one. This years apple crop has
been transplanted into the coin of
the realm. and If the amount re-
ceiyed is only a little more than
$l000,000, when the crop is only
about twO-flfths OF normal, 1t is ev-
ident that the county Is far ahead
of any of her sister counties in
West Virginia when it comes to
helping feed the country with fruit.
There is more than a king row full
Of Apple Kings" In the county.
A syndicate of Pittsburgh capital

I'd S2000.000 in the purchase of or

up to his climax by telling of the
way in which aliens, members of

did not obey.

that we may produce more beef and
mutton and thereby lower the price of
meats.

The DEATH RECORD.
CLARK DeBERRY.

On Saturday morning, August 9th,
at $50 o'clock, Mr.. Clark DeBerry,
residing one and one-half miles north
of Oakland, departed this life. The
deceased was born in Preston county,
West Va, October 10, 1843, where
he spent his boyhood days. On May
3, 1866, he was married to Jane Mar
garet Fredlock, daughter of the late
Henry N. and Martha Fredlock, who is
still living. To this union twelve chill
dren were born, four of whom preced-
ed him in death. Those still living are
Mrs. 7. W. Casteel and William P.
DeBerry, of near Oakland; Mrs. S.
M. Kuykendall, Keyser; Mrs. H. K.
Powell, Adrian, Mich; Mrs. T. H. Bell.
Sistersville, w. Va; Walter, Jeanne
and Preston, at home. Two brothers,
one sister and twelve grandchildren
also survive. While yet in his teens
Mr.. DeBerry began teaching in the
schools of his native county, continu-
ing in that profession for several
years, and nine of his children fol-
lowed the same profession. Early in
the spring of 1867 he moved to the
present homestead, where he spent the
remainder of his life and where he
had won the respect and high esteem
of his fellow-citizens. He was a true
and loving husband and father, his
purposes and plans looking to the
highest good and lasting happiness
of his wife and children. Mr.. De-
Berry was an extensive reader, keep
ing abreast of the times in which he
lived, and, aided by a good memory.
had store of knowledge which made
him versatile and interesting in con-
versation. He was interested in the
intellectual and spiritual advance
mert of his fellowmen. He kept him
self supplied with the literature of
the day and, aided by this together
with a sound judgment and practical
common sense, was one of the best
and most up-to-date farmers of the
community. He was for many years
member of the NJ. E. church in Oak
land. His funeral took place from
his late home on Monday, the 18th,
the services being conducted by his
pastor, the Rev. w. NJ. Shultz, and
interment was made in the family
burying ground on the farm.

BOTH PATHS LEAD TO THE
FERRY OF DEATH

From the mansion, the castle. mar
BILE halls, the path of humankind leads
to the Ferry of Death.
From the cottage, the tenement, the
howell the path brings its human load
to the Ferry of Death.
It doesn't matter how far one has
climbed in life, to what heighth of
fame or fortune he has assembled, nor
to what depth of shame or misfortune
he has fallen finally he finds himself
waiting at the Ferry for the Ferry
man of Death.
A rich man, wealthy beyond the air.
castles of other mortals, finds his way
down that path. For him it is strewn
with flowers; he meets with cheering
words and kindly eyes, but all of his
millions cannot halt his footsteps
trudging on and On to the landing
where awaitszthe Ferryman of Death.
Nothing that humankind can do may
turn that path in another direction.
Always, forever, has it led to the Fer
ry of Death; and always, forever, will
it lead to the Ferry of Death.
And always, from the minute of
your birth, the Ferrymanis there wait
ing for you, waiting to take yon over
the Sea of unknown, into another life,
into eternity. There is no bribing that
Ferryman; there is no escaping him.
There is nothing humankind can do
but travel that path. And, let US
repeat, the path, no matter where it
starts, comes, in the end, to the land
ing down there where awaits the Fer
ryman. There is path for every hu-
man being, path sometimes, through
valleys of happiness, sometimes over
rocks of sorrow, again where the trav-
cling is pleasant and where one is
inclined to delay awhile; and again
it winds a weary way through hard
ships which would speed US on, but al
ways the path runs on and down, COM
ing at last to that landing.
And when one comes to the landing
before even one can take passage
with the Ferryman one must leave be-
hind him the vast accumulation of
gold, the crown of fame, and the
sceptre of power, just as others, less
worldly, fortunate, are forever past the
pangs of want, sorrow and pain.
But one can take with him, on that
last journey, the love of his fellow
the knowledge that in life he lived
his life we'll and harmed no man. The
human soul that cannot take that
with him when he goes away with the
Ferryman has failed in the only real
worthwhile, purpose of life, whether
he comes from the castle on high, or
the howell below.
