handle all business routed this way
but the connecting roads, which de-
pend upon coal as fuel for their en-

CONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

In sad but loving remembrance Oh
Joseph w. Perks, who died IN France
November A, 1918.
We do not know the pain he bore,
We did not see him die;
We only know he passed away
Without giving us goodbye.
Somewhere in France they buried
him,
Within a quiet and lonely grave;
Unknown, save by his fighting mate,
Who cheered the cause he died TO
save.
And for his sacrifice the Stars and
Stripes
Still proudly wave somewhere IN
France.
How we watched to see him coming
How we waited to hear him call;
W. can never forget that parting,
That long and sad good pye'
He only left for little while,
In other lands to die.
Won shall always be remembered
In this weary world of STRIFE,
Won shall never De forgotten,
AZ long as God gives us life.
Dear little flag with golden star,
Stands for the sweet heart that
gone afar, VIII,
Who gave his life for the Red White
and Blue,
For the noblest cause we ever
knew.
May the Stars and Stripes Oh Ole
glory wave, o
Over the grave of the dear one
true and brave, 90

BIRTH OF A NATION ARRIL %.

D. w. Griffith's "The Birth of
Nation" will open an engagement
Wednesday, April %. The first
class metropolitan production is guar
anteed to be the one shown here at
the Opera, Charles Town.
Many circumstances have conspir-
ed to make The Birth of a Nation"
the most widely discussed picture
in the world. Suggested by Thomas
Dixon's Southern novels, it embraces
a far wider scope than "The Clans
man" play. Mr.. Grifith's new art
covers $50 years of history and pic
torializes the greatest events of the
War between the States as we'll as
those of Reconstruction, Lincoln,
Grant and Lee; the early glories of
the Confederacy; the decastation of
Gen. Sherman's march to the sea |;
the awful siege of Petersburg; the
signing of peace at Appomattox; the
assassination of the President in
Fords Theatre, and the succeeding
orgy of hate and oppression of the
South-these personages and incl
dents pass rapidly before the en-
thralled spectator and lead up to the
terrific climaxes of Part III, which is
devoted to what has been styled ''the
second struggle between the
North and the South" a struggle
caused by the attempt to impose car
petbagger rule upon the conquered
States. The wild adventures and
achievements of the Ku Klux Khan
dominate the final scenes, which
yield a happy ending of double
romance of Southern and Northern
sweethearts. Remember the show
starts by the clock at 1880 at night
3:15 at Matinee. Doors open half
hour earlier. Prices at Matinee 25
cents to all; prices at night 20 and
80 cents. Two shows at night.
