In The Dark.

A meeting was held Saturday at
WOrsham, and is SAID to have been
largely attended by representative farm
ers from every district in this county.
The HERALD has since tried to get the
resolutions passed 10y the meeting, but
failed. A representative of the paper
applied to the secretary, Mr.. w. l..
Clark, and that gentleman did not feel
at liberty to furnish the information
sought. Being thus left in the dark
we do not feel willing to publish any
account of meeting about which we
are left in entire ignorance.
Nh Clark did hand us the following
resolution which we have pleasure in
publishing:
ave, the citizens of Prince Edward
county, at meeting held at WOrsham,
Virginia, this fourth day Of August,
nineteen hundred, to consider many
questions Of vital importance to the
best interest of the county, feel called
upon to express our deep and heartfelt
sorrow at the death of our valued and
beloved clerk of the county, w II.
Thackston, 50 suddenly called from our
midst; and desire to herein testify to
the high appreciation we, as citizens of
the county, feel for his faithful services
and ever courteous conduct shown to
every one requesting his services.
ave desire also to tender to his be-
reaved and stricken sister and family
our heartfelt and prayerful sympathy,
and commend her and them to the
merciful keeping of our Heavenly
Father

Prince Edwards New Clerk.

Judge Crute has appointed Mr.. En-
nest Jefferson Whitehead to fill the
vacancy caused by the death Of Mr.
Thackston, and 50 far as we can learn
the .ppointment has been ratified and
confirmed by public approval.
Mr. Whitehead is yet young man,
but having had seven years experience
in the office is already well nigh a
veteran in service. He measures well
up to the Jeflersonian test, "honest
and capable" and the people Of the
county, who are so interested in the
conduct of the affairs of that important
office will rest satisfied that the mantle
Of a Thackston has fallen on worthy
shoulders.

The meeting of the Board Of Trustee.
Of this institution in Lynchburg last
week was unusually full for the sum
mer. Several were prevented from at.

layed train on the &. d q. r. II. The
full Prince Edward contingent, consist
ing Of the President Of the college, DIR.
Peter Winston, Judge A. ID. Watkins
and Ii. a. Stokes, Esq, were on hand.
The meeting was harmonious, indus
trious and pleasant. Convened at 1870
p. m, it continued in session with an
intermission for supper until II O'Clock
p. m, and was busily engaged the
whole time.
Mention was made i'm the last issue
of the HERALD of the election of Prof
Marcus b. Almond to fill the chair Of
Latin and German, which is believed
to be a fortunate choice.
Another item Of important business
was the consideration Of the matter of
the location of the college. This is the
first time that this subject has been
mentioned i'm the Board and it was
gratifying to see that the general opin-
ion is that the college is doing well
where it is; that there is no demand
for the agitation Of removal and that
duty requires a united effort to build ii
up and keep it just where it is. While
this was the almost unanimous senti-
ment Of those present, the need OF in
creased endowment was clearly recOg-
nized aud the President of the college
was authorized to begin and prosecute
an effort in this behalf. The people
Of Prince Edward and adjoining coun
ties are more interested to give sue
cess than those elsewhere to the up
building Of the college. Hampden-
Sidney is no sectarian institution and
has never been such. 1t was located |

HcntaSOnhS' Notice.

The following explanation Is given
by the Supreme Secretary, Improved
Order Heptasophs, for calling two as
sessments again this month:
"The time having arrived when, in
the Judgment of the Executive Com
mittee, the condition Of the general
fund requires the calling OF an expense
assessment, they have directed me to
do 50.
"Whle the expense assessment Is
required, | deem it unwise to pass the
call for Benefit Assessment, which,
therefore, makes two assessments again
this month. This should not, however,
be viewed in the light Of double as
sessment, for one only is for the benefit
fund-the other being for the general
expenses Of the Order.
"The condition of the benefit fund is
now such as to fairly insure no neces-
sity for two assessments in any one
month between now and the next
meeting Of the Supreme Conclaye, UNI
less something unforeseen arises.
"To have omitted the call this month
would have only required us, at late
date, to have called two again IN one
month.
"The benefit fund promises, by the
monthly call, to be ample for the
prompt payment of all proper claims
which gives us bright and encourage
ing outlook.
