swing. We will have it ready for un.
vailing on the 18th day of October

We shall arrange for a number Of first
class speakers and no doubt large
crowd Of our people will be in attend
ance. We earnestly request that you
keep this matter before your many
readers from now until that day. We
desire all to attend, especially our own
county people who should take pride
IN doing honor to the boys Of 1861 ) for
nObler set never loaded musket in
defense Of country.
Permit me to also say that while the
contract has been let, yet we are several
hundred dollars behind in having in
hand sufficient funds to pay for same.
We do most earnestly appeal to all to
help us out. No debt should rest upon
this undertaking. Our people must
come to our aid and do all they can.
Now, Mr. Editor, to that end sug-
gest that you become treasurer Of a
fund to be known as the Confederate
Monument Fund, to which all who
wish to subscribe can send their money
direct to you, and that you publish
weekly statement Of all amounts re-
ceived and tie donors of same. To
our county people out side Of the town
we make an urgent appeal as none of
them to my knowledge have contribute
ed one cent for this object, while our
town folks have come forward most
literally. feel that when our county
friends know what is expected Of them
they will respond for this noble cause
We have committee consisting OF
DR.. Winston, J. +. Walton, f.. l..
o. Il. Wicker, b. NJ. Cox, A.
w. Drumeller, r. d. Miller and 5. w.
Paulett who are authorized to solicit
subscriptions, these have books in
which to enter names and amounts.
These books after erection of monu-
ment will be placed in the hands of |
our county clerk, who will preserve
them for future reference, so that all
may see who gave their money for
this object
Mr.. Editor you can do much to help
his cause and we feel satisfied that
you will. You are the son of an old
Confederate soldier. DO your duty as
We did ours and all will be well.

Editor Heruid:-On Friday night,
July 18th, at the beautiful home of Mr..
Howard Selden, near Tredway, a dance
was given in honor of Miss Martha
Miller, Of Farmville, by the charming
daughters of the hostess. The music
was sweetly and artistically rendered
by Messrs. Ned Booker and b. j..
Worsham, Jr. The night was an ideal
one and the gay crowd enjoyed them
selves on the lawn. Suddenly the
stentoran voice of Mr.. LipscOmb called
out. partners for the first set" and
amid the peals Of laughter and sweet
strains of music the following young
ladies aud gentlemen were ushered in
the spacious parlor: Misses Winnie,
Rebie. Belle and Mary Yonge, Martha
Miller, Annie Allen, Nultie McDear
mon, Ruby Ransom, Hennie Overton,
Freda. Pattie and Virginia Selden.

Allen, Joe Allen, Emmett Woma ok,

crime? 1t was Benjamin Franklin
who said that "Pubic Health is Publi
Wealth. and nothing is truer. Can
any one estimate what the loss to gu
town has been during the last twelv'
months because Of the smallpox scar'
which prompt and wise measures
would have averted. The forth coming
statistics from the census bureau may
show an alarming prevalence Of dis
ease which has invaded many homes in
our town, bringing in its wake death
and sorrow, when a wise and timely
ordinance forbidding the filthy prac-
tice Of splitting on our streets might
have prevented. Every death imperas
eUery life.
In town where the three essentials
to health, good air, good water and
good drainage are all denied Us an ep-
idemic would decimate our ranks.
To every death it is estimated there
are 70 persons sick and to every one
sick an average loss of 20 days from
work. If 20 embraces our mortality
for the past year an easy calculation
will show how much of material loss
we have sustained--S 1000 days oflabor
And yet this does not include time
of nurses, expenses involved in sick
ness, and care for paupers consequent
on such deaths.
Somebody in responsible position
failed to do his duty, or perhaps was IN
ignorance Of sanitary laws, and the
foul offensive night air and sewerage
soaked wells brought dseae and death.
Oth9r points are visited by fearful
epidemics. We have been denied for
weeks the downpour Of rain, upon
which we have learned to rely, in de-
fault of sewerage, to cleanse our drains,
our foul alleys and putrid surface soil
and the danger Of a fever epidemic
seems to confront us.
a late writer has drawn sad and |
hurtful contrast between our own town
and others he had recently visited in
that our streets were strewn with litter
and filth and our pavements were edu-
sive with mems sputa.
When the scourge comes may we
not be found berating the mysterious
Providence which has afflicted us, but
find an easy explanation in our crmi-
nal negligence. NJ. ID.

Onestion Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg

world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system aud stop fermentation of un-
dIlgested food, regulate the action Of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganlc action Of the system, and that is
all they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's August

This is not a theory, il Is fact. Cures are

made in a day. Tie reason why so many
