The students celebrated their victory
over the cadets Saturday night in a
very noisy manner. The college bell
was rung continuously for about an
hour and number of the college boys
gathered on the campus and formed a
line of march up town boating tin
pans and other pon-musical instru'
nents.
Mr.. A. T. Shields, clerk of County
Con t, leftlast Thursday for Richmond,
where hs went to have his lett eye,
which has been giving him considerable
trouble for some time, removed. The
operation was successfully performed
by DR.. John Davidson, of that city, and
we are glad to learn that Mr.. Shields
condition is as favorable as can be ex-
pected under the circumstances.
Mayor Anderson and several men,
bers of the Council visited the town
springs Thursday afternoon. The
visit was made in regard to placing
strainers over the pipes which run from
lie springs to the reservoir. When
tie reservoir was built strainers were
place d in the receiving well which has
proved unsatisfactory BY becoming
filed at short intervals with moss etc.,
and it is thought advisable to strain |
The water as it leaves the springs.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an in1amed condition of the mucuous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When the
tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal condi-
ton, hearing will b. destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten arc caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh CuFe.

DEATH OF WILLIAM S. BEARD.
Communicated


After long and painful suffering
during several years, Mr.. William s. Beard
died at his residence on South River, neal
Riverside, during the afternoon OF Friday,
the 18th instant 1t would seem that his
life would close amid scenes of gradual
sinking under the weight Of weary affiiction;
yet, the end came suddenly, when sitting
on his porch engaged In pleasant converse
ton with friend, In which he INDUCED
the hope that soon his strength would be
sufficient In gaining fresh courage to take q
hand In the employment on his farm. While
thus conversing he suddenly leaned from
his seat and was soon discovered to be
speechless and evidently unconscious. He
thus lingefed, his vitality falling, till 7
o'clock liz the afternoon. About four years
ago he was paralyzed in the left side and on
the day Of his death his right side, under
the effect OF which came his sudden death,
Mr.. Beard was siXty-one years Of age. He
was married about twenty-five years ago.
One child, Miss Cora, OF his first marriage,
and the wife OF the second survive him. He
was born in Augusta county and came to
Rockbridge about 1866. He was volunteer
in the Confederate army, serving throughout
the struggle in the Fifth Regiment Of In
fdntry, commanded respectively by Harper
Harman, Baylor and Williams, and was
esteemed by his officers and cherished by
his comrades. From his early manhood he
was a consistent member OF the Methodist
Church, South, his membership being held
al Marvin church. For several years pre-
cedlng his death he served his community
as a justice Of the peace, the duties Of which
he discharged with fine intelligence and
every courtesy.
The funeral services took place from
Marvin church Saturday afternoon. Rev.
Mr. hardwood is in charge Of the circuit.
He had just arrived upon the field Of his
future service and expressed his regret that
he was debarred the privilege Of knowing
previously the deceased. The discourse
abounded in beautiful Illustrations Of the
Christians life and his final reward. The
life Of one as he was pictured will live in
fadeless green in the hears Of his neighbors
and friends. The burial was at Timber
Ridge cemetery A FRIEND.

This is, indeed, a strange world il
which we live. Two days ago we wer,
not only holding on to cur winte,

The Methodist, Presbyterian anc
Baptist pulpits were all filed on yes
teiday at two services by the respective
pastors. At the Episcopal church Dr.
r. J. McBryde preached at 5 p. m. to @
large and attentive audience. There
being no service in any of the other
churches at that bour the congregation
was augmented by many from them.
1t is well for brethren thus to dwell
together in unity.
Rev. G. W. Trawick aud Mr.. J. P.
McCluer, who attended the recent
meeting of Lexington Presbytery, re-
turned on Friday afternoon and report
the meeting as having been one of
much interest aud we'll attended.

The fremen at their meeting Mon
day night appointed committee to
appear before the, Mayor and Council
and petition them for an alarm system
of some kind for the department.
The recent Opera Houseifre plainly
demonstrated, az never before, the
urgent need by the fIemen Of some
means of giving an alarm OF fire. Sew
eral days ago. in conversation with
members of the fire department, Messrs.
Burwell and Blakemore, of the tele-
phone system, stated that they would
put in a fire alarm system, which to the
minds of the fremen, would be the
most feasible and best suited to their
needs, for the sum of 5000. This sys-
TEN consists in placing an electric gong
in the sleeping apartment of each men,
Der Of the department; ald an indica.
tor at the central fire station to tell
from which section of town the alarm
is turned in, and clock to record the
hour at which the alarm is given. BY
turning in an alarm of fire, which could
be done from the home of any fireman,
every gong on the circuit would ring
and would CO.. tinue to
ring until stopped by the fireman or
some member of his family. With such |
A system as this every member OF the |
department would be notified at one
md the same time Of fire.
One feature of this system that will
ecormend itself to the weak-nerved
II s,mroleni citizen is that no one
kept fremen need be alarmed upon
he outbreak of q fire.
The cost Of such system is surtly
within the reach of the town, and this
natter has been deferred long enough
nd should receive the prompt action
the Council. Do not put it off until
ext month or next year. If sufficient
mount of money is not on hand to es-
lblish such a system, put 1t IN and pay |
Dr. 1t meet gear!
Just such fire as that which de-
,rcyed the Opera House is liable to {
,cur at any time in the business Sec a
on Of town, ana should it tappen,
ho could estimate the loss? This is t
D idle thought or vhim Of the fremen d
ut an evidence OF their desire to rem C
er the citizens of Lexington more
fci9lt service and protection.
Let the business men take hold Of P
is matter and tLe town will have n
e alarm system. s.
Gentlemen OF the Council, do not q
IN a deaf ear to the iremen, bur heed n
cir prayer, and that at once. o

FIRE AT NEWPORT NEWS.
Costly Grain Elevators Threatened by q
Lumber BiaZe-S6,0 900 Damage.

Newport News. Va. Nov. s.--Early this
morning there was a dangerous blaze in
the vicinity of the Chesapeake and Ohio
piers and grain elevators. which for
time threatened as serious results as the
big fire of 1897, which destroyed two i'm
mense piers, three large ships, and threat
ened the big elevator.
The flames were discovered In the lum-
Der pier and warehouse of the Newport
News Lumber Company. between the two
big elevators. About 5000 worth Of dam
age was done. partly covered by insur-
ance. The pier was the property OF
Messrs. Barrett and Vest.
The fire created intense excitement. and
the employees of the railroad swarmed
around TO protect the elevators. Long
trains of cars loaded with freight were
taken from the endangered piers, and the
Old Dominion Line steamer Princess Anne
got up steam and dropped out into the
stream. Two Chesapeake and Ohio fire
tugs and the local fire department fought
the fire, and soon had il under control.
The pier and warehouse will be rebuilt
Immediately
