A Long Sentence for the Injured Man
Farmville Again Disgraoed.

Mr.. Editor:
Elisha Johnson, whom you, no doubt
.ad of in the Richmond papers OF
November 18th, being confined in the
county jail here was shot between the
hours of one and two-o'c clock Monday
morning, November 10th by some
blood thirsty rascals. 1t had been ru-
mored that some harm might befan
him, but having quite sufficient po-
lice force, no one watched the Jail in
which he was incarcerated. charged
with highway robbery which he ad-
mitted. Monday, 10th being court
day, aud every one being satisfied that
he would be dealt with according to
law, returned to their several homes
after church about 10 o'clock.
THE NEWS OF TIE OUTRAGE.
On rising Monday morning, we learn
the news that the prisoner had been
visited by mob and shot. Several
shots were fired at him and he was
shot in several places, one being his
thigh. He was tried to-day and SEN
fenced to state prison for twenty years
under two indictments. This action
has aroused our best citizens who do
not believe in such disgraceful pro-
ceedings.
these blood thirsty demons will
reap their reward ere long, which will
be blessing to Farmville. We say
the boy should be punished, for we are
not condoners of crime in any form,
but the law should always be upheld
and mob law banished from our land.
WOULD HAVE LYNcHKD THE WOMEN.
Had not our boys been SO vigilant
Mary Alternately and Pokey Barnes. al
so Solomon Marable would have met
death at the hands of a mob.
Elisha johnson, leaning on a cane
was taken TO the state prison this even
ing, we suppose for the doctor to at
tend his wounds. Such actions like
this will cause somebody TO lay in q
very thorny bed. We all should be
law abiding citizens, and when we are
charged with crime, we should have
protection from our police officers and
county officers, unless law and order
prevail.
DROVE AWAY CAPITAL.
We cannot expect for capitalists tc
c Ime among US and invest the money
IN building up our poor town and
country We say again that our bes,
citizens depiore such actions. We
trust a reward will be offered for the
apprehension of the culprits, and tina
they may find position in state prison
! as we'll as the boy did. They are no
as good as the boy or no better.
Respectfully yours,
OIvIs.

VALUE OF GOOD FRUIT.

Rlpe apples are especially healthy,
ana children may eat them without
danger. Some doctors say that an ap-
pie at bedtime produces sleep. Pears
are more savory than apples, but not so
healthy, unless cooked. Prunes have
medical qualities which cannot be de-

also be eaten, as they frequently re-
store health and strength to the weak.
strawberries, though a cold fruit, have

cooked. Figs are also excellent. They
were in great favor with ancient

WHEN A DOCTOR IS NOT NEAR.

1t is very often the case that at just
the time one needs medical man it is
impossible to get him. A sick person
may take a chill after the doctor has
paid his call. Warm the patient at
once. Fill strong bottles with hot
water, placing them under the knees,
at the feet, under the armpits. Give
stimulants and cover with blankets.
After he warns up, do not sweat him,
but gradually remove the extra cover
ing Be sure to keep an even tempera-
ture in the sickroom. This is most
important at night and in the small
hours of the morning. Always have
hot water available in sickness of any
kind. Anyone with the average in
telligence can keep track of the pulse,
temperature, and respiration, so that
in case of Paintings or sinking spells
he may know when to give stimulants.
A bottle of brandy or good whisky, a.
rubber bag for hot water, and can of
ground mustard are the three first
requisites for the family medicine
closet. Always be prepared for emer-
gencies.

FRESH AIR IN THE BEDROOM.

In the daytime allow plenty of air,
light and sunshine into your rooms, for
even if it does injure the furniture and
carpets, it is not so expensive in the
long run as a doctors bill More colds
are caught by keeping fresh air out,
in that it makes people more suscept-
ible to changes of temperature, than
are ever caused by letting fresh air in.
Ventilation, by good management, need
not mean a draught.
AS water collects and generates i'm
purities, it is good thing to empty
the washing-basin and jug yourself
every morning, so as to insure the re-
filling them with fresh. Drinking
water should be boiled, analysis having
proved that filters are not to be trusted,
for, after having been in use for some
time, they add to the water the dan
gerous accumulations they have taken
up in previous use. To remove the
insipid taste of boiled water pour it
backwards and forwards from one jug
to another.
