IN MEMORIAM,

In sad but loving remembrance OF
my dear sister, Mrs. Fannie Ashby
who departed this life five years ago
today, February 9th, 1920.
To think all that is good must die,
The blow was hard, the shock severe
To part with one we loved so dear.
Today recalls sad memories
Of dear sister who is gone to rest
She will never be forgotten,
Never will her memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger,
Around the grave where she is laid
Sleep on dear sister
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.
By her sister, Mrs. T. l.. Shull.

c. N. WHITING DIES IN SHEP-
HERDSTOWN.

Charles N. Whiting one of Shop
herdstown's we'll known residents died
at his home in that place Monday
afternoon February %, after brief
illness. His death was a sad surprize
to his relatives and friends, few of
whom knew that his condition had be-
come critical Mr.. Whiting had not
been in good health for some time
past, because of heart trouble and OF
her complications, but he was not con-
fined to his home and his illness was
not known to be so serious. He had a
spell with his heart on Sunday but be-
came better and was able to be out
again. Monday, he was down street
Monday afternoon he was down street
but went home about three o'clock
and feeling badly went to bed. Short
ly before five o'clock he told his wife
that he was very ill, and never spoke
again, passing away in fifteen or twe-
tv minutes thereafter Mr. Whiting
who was 81 years old was native of
Berkeley county having been born
and reared in the sections northwest
of Shepherdstown. In his early youth
he associated himself with the late D.
Frank Billmyer proprietor of Billmy-
ers Mill, where he learned the milling
business and became an expert in this
line. He purchased the mill from
Mr.. Billmyer, and after running it for
some years built large steam flour
ing mill in Shepherdstown. He con-
Quoted this establishment with mark
ed success until six or seven years ago
when unfortunately it was totally
destroyed by fire. Owing to the ex-
cessively high cost of building and
fitting up with new machinery Mr..
Whiting did not restore the property
and had not been active in business
since the fire. He had been a men,
Der of the board of equalization and
review for jefferson county for some
years. He was an exemplary man in
every relation of life quiet and unas-
Stunning in manner mindful of his du-
ties as a citizen and his death will be
regretted by his friends. He was a
mmber of the NJ E. Church. He is
survived by his wife who was former

neysville neighborhood, his mother a

GAINING INCREASED MoMEN-
TUM

With scheduled production OF
10000 cars for March, the Chevrolet
Motor Company is gaining increased
momentum in the building of the new
Chevrolet and the working force Is
being added to in each Of the IL
manufacturing and assembly plants
throughout the country.
W. s. Knudsen, president and gen.
eral manager, estimates that within
the next month and half the actual
factory working force will have been
augmented approximately 40 per
cent.
hereas the sale of the new
Chevrolet is pushing us to our capaci-
ty to fill orders, we are nGt rxpana-
ing our working force any more
quickly than we can absorb them, !"
explains Mr.. .Knudsen. "When going
into production with a new model
made FEefa new tools, it is important
.nat he entire job be co-ordinated so
as to give the high grade result ex-
pected by the buying now as never
before.
Happily, however, expansion of
production in our Chevrolet factory
centers is not so different as might be
supposed, because lists of our former
experienced workers who may have
been out of employment during a
short period are kept on hand and
these men are recalled to their old
positions as they are needed. In this
way the majority of trained auto
motive workers are trained, leaving
the training of minimum number
necessary"

herdstown Saturday afternoon, Febr-
uary IA, the meeting was organized

fore the meeting shows that the toal

piled to the improvement account,
were S10,31283, leaving balance on

equipment, and the erection of the
dance floor cost the association 49,

which represents this years profit af-
ter dedueting all fair and overhead
expenses of the year, was applied to
the improvement account.
The total amount of premiums paid
aggregated the sum of $1,801 so.
The figures show that the night side
of the fair proved very profitable
Almost 20 per cent of the total gate
and grandstand receipts We're secured
in this manner, notwithstanding the
prevalence of rain and cold weather
each night. The grandstand receipts
were only $782.25, this year, due to
the fact that six of the ten scheduled
performances were not conducted on
account of rain. Concessions brought
into the fair treasury the sum of
$19S2.05.
