; ALUMNTs MEETING.


THE ALUMNIS MEETING.
This body met at 1890 o'clock, and its
sessions were particularly interesting
The annual Grafton was delivered by DR..
Simon Baruch, of New York, an alumnus
OF the college Of the class of 1862. He dis
cussed the evolution of therapy, and be
ginning with the time of Hippocrates, he
traced the advances in the practice of the
healing art up to the present day, espe-
cially contrasting the slow progress Of
the early years of the Christian era with
the rapid advances in recent years.
DIR. Baruch laid stress on the point
that physicians should treat the patient
instead of the disease. He grew eloquent
at times and was practical throughout,
He held the interest OF his auditors until
he closed.
A scientific discussion OF puerperal con-
yulsions was begun under the leadership
Of DR.. T. T.. Baird, of Windsor, and Or.
Baird had the floor when luncheon was
announced. After the meal the alumni
reconvened and the discussion was con-
tinued.
THE NEW OFFICERS.
At the afternoon session of the Alumni
Association, DR.. William Il. Anderson, of
Farmville. one of the brightest physi-
clans of Southside Virginia, and one of
the most popular alumni OF the college,
was chosen president. DR.. J. b. Fisher,
of Midlothian; T. Il. Baird, Of Windsor;
w. f. Drewry. of Petersburg, and I. w.
Dew, of Spotsylvania vice-presidents;
DR.. d. A. Kuyk. secretary, and DR.. +.
II. Beadles, treasurer DR.. S. B. Barham
was chosen to lead the discussion at the
next annual meeting. and the subject as
signed him was cerebrO-spinal meningitis.

Mr.: Vogel is about twenty:three years old,

The sale of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for

One day in the summer of 1895, Charles T.
Vogel was sitting on the front steps of his
home at No. 1913 Lorain Street, OH the West
side, Cleveland, Ohio, the picture of misery.
He had spent sleepless night. For six
months Charles Vogel had been sufferer
from headaches of the most severe and ex.
cruoiating character.
While he was preoccupied in this dis.
strapped to his shoulder placed u pamphlet
in his hand. Mechanically Mr.. Vogel began
turning the pages of the booklet. Suddenly,
however, his Indifference was changed to
interest, and soon he was reading a few of
the testimonials of people who had found in
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure for ills of
various kinds.
Then began to see if somebody had
used them for the same trouble from which
was suffering" he went on to say "and |
found what was looking for. The stories
had never heard of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills before but determined to buy box
of them, and went to the drug store and
madea purchase. It was the best investment
ever made.
"The first pill did not cure me, nor did the
second but 1 had not been taking them for
week before began to feel better / con-
tinued to have the headaches which broke
my sleep and rest, but they were less violent
and less frequent. At the end of two weeks
was so much improved that could not
but admit to myself that the lttle>pills were
wonderful. Gradually the pain in my hend
lessened and at the end of month it nearly
Disappeared.
After taking the pills for month I was
CURED. That was year ago and have not
suffered since.

Protivin, consisting of horses, COWS,

pliments, corn and many other articles.
Sale commences at 10 a. M. with free
lunch at noon. Ten months time on
usual terms.
I. b. Richards is in the city from
Spokane, Washington, and will remain
three or four weeks. He is a stock
broker at that place. Mr.. Richards
grew to manhood in this county, whore
he was among its best class of young
men, a trait that we judge is still
characteristic of him. He is almost
the exact picture of his father, Joseph
Richards, as we knew him when about
the age of Bent.
Thursday afternoon Feb. 9th, the
peop'e of Ridgeway were startled by
the cry of "fre" and a few minutes
later the school house was all ablaze.
Owing to the quick work of the men
folks the books, organ. seats, ETC.,
were saved, but the school house was
doomed. 1t is supposed that defective
chimney was the cause of the fire, and
as it had gained quite headway
before it was discovered, nothing could
be done to save the building. Ridge

fire anyway and it seems as if some
arrangements ought to be made In
