The Lost Copy Of "The School Of
Afhnns :,

We see that the medical class Of the Uni
versity of Virginia has already subscribed
81 600 towards replacing the copy by
Balzac of Raphael's ''School of Athens. y
which was burned. This picture was pur-
chased for the University by the late VIM.
A. Pratt Of Rich mond, an artist and az
cbitect of this State, father Of Capt. e..
Julian Pratt Of Augusta, who was sent to
Europe by the University alumni forty
years ago to have the work done. After
it was done he exhibited it in this country
accompanied by an attractive lecture and
thus largely helped to pay the cost of its
purchase. Mr. Pratt has been dead for
many years, but is we'll remembered hg
many Of our people as the architect who
laid out and prepared the grounds and
buildings Of the Baldwin District Fair
Association-p perhaps the last professional
work he did in his declining years.

Looking After the Poor Of Beverly Manor

AN ORGANIZATION OF LADIES OF THE
COUNTY EFFECTED.
At the suggestion of Judge Lyman
Chalkley of the County Court, whose posi-
ton enabled him to know of much suffer.
ing among the poor of Beverley Manor last
winter, an organization of ladies of Bever-
ley Manor to look after the poor of that
district, was effected on Wednesday last
The meeting of ladies was held at the Y
M. G. A. presided over by Mrs. Fl. D.
Peck. Among the ladies present were Mrs
J. N. Mcfarland, Miss Sallie Kinney,
Mrs. E. J. Gushing, Mrs. W. A. Burnett
Mrs. e. A. Fulcher, Miss Fulcher, Mrs.
D. P. Woodward, Mrs. W. A. Wilson,
Mrs. l.. 6. Williams and Mrs. s. F. Pilson.
1t was resolved to form the beverley
Manor Mission for the Poor" and the fol
lowing officers were elected-Mrs. J. N.
Mcfarland, President, Mrs. HI. D. Peck,
Vice President, and Miss Sallie Kinney,
Secretary and Treasurer.
The Mission then adjourned to meet in
the Y. M. C. A. Parlor on Tuesday next
at II A. M. 1t is hoped that there will be
fuller attendance of the ladies' of Beyer.
ley Manor, now that the notice of the meet.
ing is more general.
The ladies contemplate using the plan OF
the Staunton City Mission in every respect
except that it will be applied to Beverley
Manor district instead of Staunton. They
propose to raise contributions of money
provisions and clothing, and distribute them
among the worthy poor of the District.
There is no doubt that the effort will be
fully as successful as the City Mission has
been, Its field the coming winter will.
without doubt, furnish many cases Of real
suffering and fully establish the wisdom of
having early formed the beverly Manor
Mission for the Poor.''

Maj. Absolom Koiner Of Augusta, was
in Richmond, Tuesday, attending meet
ing of the State Board Of Agriculture, of
which he is member. The report Of the
Commissioner of Agriculture was read
setting forth the work of the Agricultural
Department, money expended for the quar-
ter, and the coalition of crops.
In this paper Colonel Whitehead referred
to the prevalence Of cattle ticks, which
were injecting cattle throughout the State
with deadly disease, and, being question
ed on this matter, discoursed OH it at some
length, giving detailed description Of the
insect.
On motion eff Mr.. Koiner the vote adopt
ing the Commissioner report was recon-
sidered, in order that that portion of it
which referred to the prevalence of ca6te-
ticks could be more explicit, as Mr.. Koin.
Ell considered that, as the report stood. it
was calculated to cause foreign countries to
Institute an embargo against cattle from
this State.
Colonel Buford thought it best to ap-
point committee to look into the quarterly
report, so far as it related to the disease of
cattle.
The matter was discussed at some length,
the board being of the opinion that the
Importance of the matter should be brought
to the attention of the Legislature.
In the discussion member stated that
the buyers of cattle in the market of Rich
mond were using the fact that this disease
prevailed in the State to buy cattle from
the infected sections for mere ong.
1t will be seen from our report of the
proceedings of the county court of Angus
ia that Judge Chalkley has promptly ap-
pointed Board of Inspectors to protect
Augusta county from the Importation of
diseased cattle.
