THE FARMVILLE GUARD.
This Staunch Company Has History
ofBrayc Deeds Performed.

The 'Farmville Guard now about TO
be mustered into the United states SER
vice is not without renown. This COM
pany went into actual service in the last
civil war and fought IN many prominent
battles, and out Of rs men who first en-
tered only twenty returned home ana
many Of them badly crippled for life.
A few years after the war the citizens
realizing that a military IN the black
belt was a necessity. a meeting OF Farm
vileans and citizens in adjoining coun-
ties were called and the Guard was re-
organized.
Captain George W. Davis was elected
captain. He served for four years and
resigned: then S. w Paulett was elect
cd captain and served for Thirteen years
S. W. Watkins was elected captain and
served two years and left them. The
company then dsbanded, but soon after
wards IL was deemed best to have a good
military company here. so the prominent
citizens held a meeting and solicited
names for enrolment and over fifty
young men enlisted and Mr.. John r..
Martin was unanimously electeA cap
tain.
He held this position for five years
and carried the largest company TO Po-
cshontas IN the State during the riot Of
1894.
About one year ago he resigned as his
railroad duties were so onerous that he
could not give the company the atten-
ton he desired.
He made a popular commandant and
kept the company up 70 its high stand
ard all during his administration. HIS
lieutenant. J. D. Allen. succeeded him,
who Is now captain OF the Guard.

A Much Needed Enterprise Now in
Operation.
SYSTEM SIMPLE BUT PERFECT.
Sixteen Private Rooms and One Pub
lie Apartment, All Kept Cool and
Dry For Preservation of Meats
aud other PcrishabIc Goods
SYSTEM SIMPLE BUT PERFECT.

For years Richmond meat dealers and
other merchants who handle perishable
goods for marketing purposes have been
az need of some facilities for keeping
trosD ihoir goods There was also de-
mand of the same kind on the part of
boarding houses. hotels and others who
handle considerable quantities of perish
able meats and table supplies.
This demand has just been supplied In
"a new and complete enterprise whose adj
Nautagcs O. great many meat dealers and
others have already commenced TO aNail

Vsted at Nos ~ 90 II Market square. 10

Mr. r.. &. Lancaster. Jr., is president

This plant viii doubtless prove a boon

as well as others in the city. 10 is COM
pictc IN detail and works like charm.

PLAN OF OPERATION.
10 Is worked upon the compression sys-
gem- There is an immense tank Of
brine containing thousands Of gallons.
Above this are "a number OF repositories
Tor ammonia. Pipes connect with the
tank. and into these pipes tho heat from
the cooling rooms is extracted and COM
pressed.
The heat IS discharged on the roof
where e. is cooled on. coming out into the
form Of gas. The air goes into the brine
at some So degrees. and there the heat
Is extracted and goes into the cooling
rooms az a very low temperature. This
double process is continually kept up.
Meantime the cooling rooms are kept
down 20 the desired degree OF Coldness
so as 20 Keep perfectly fresh all perisha-
bic goods stored therein.
One Of the most desirable features Of
the plant is that while the storage rooms
are kept at very low temperature the
air As perfectly dry. There is not even
ID suggestion OF dampuess inside. This
makes 30 easy 90 keep iu perfect condition
meats and Camo OF an kinds for months
az q time. a piece Of beef or mutton
win keep for three months with ease.
There is an excellent arrangement
about the whole plant which now has
storage room for as much as $50 cattle
u is understood that as there is an in
creased demand the capacity Of the plant
will be increased Already plans are in
contemplation FOR enlargement.
