IN MEMORIAM.

In sad but loving remembrance of
nv dear husband, Frank Kisner, who
departed this life one year ago today,
April goth, 1918.
In the grave yard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave;
Lies the one | loved so dearly,
In his lonely silent grave.
I often sit and think of him,
When | am all alone;
For memory is the only thing,
That grief can call its own.
Twelve months have passed, my heart
is sore,
As time flies on miss him more.
He sleeps-I leave him inpeace to
rest,
The parting was painful, but God
knoweth best.
Into sweet rest he entered
No more to grieve or to weep,
He is smiling upon me from heaven
NV darling husband has fallen to
sleep.

IS CHARLES TOWN ON THE MAP.

1t looks like in the opinion of the
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railrocd. Charles Town and jefferson
Count 2 of the map entirely. First
they make ruling several weeks ago
that freight could only be shipped
from Baltimore cnce week, making
it impossible for our merchants to get
fresh vegetables, fish, &C., from that
market with any degree of regularity.
And now comes 9 change of schedule
by which through trains cannot be
cought on the main line at any point
in the county, neither at Shenandoah
Junction or Harpers Ferry. Those
who have business in Baltimore or
Washington have to spend two days
making the trip or go by automobile.
1t would seem that the railroad would
try to hold what passenger traffic
they can, instead of forcing people
to travel by auto more and more. We
trust the officials will see that the
present schedule IS a detriment to
them as well as to this community,
and make a change in the present
horrible schedule before many days.

in bed at her home in Shepherdstown
