head foremost into a well on his prem
isces.
AT the time the rash act was com.
mitted Mr.. Motley was in company
with friend and neghbor, Mr. John
Baughan. They together had been
walking about the yard. Mr. Baughan
returned to the house for his oyercoat.
and when he came out again, Mr.
Motley was running tow 'rds the we'll.
All attempt to stay him was futile.
When the body was recovered four
terrible wounds were found about the
head, one Of which was just in the
centre on top proving that the deceased
must have fallen head first.
The deceased was about fl years of
age and leaves a wife and five little
children. The case is one Of extreme
sadness, Mr.. MOTLEY having been for
many months in bad state Of health
which constantly preyed upon his
mind until it produced a depression
OF spirits which caused ill-groumded
fears and fOrebodings of things dread
ful. This had continued so long with
Mr.. Motley that his familyand friends
thought it advisable to have his case
examined into by the authorities. Ac-
cordingly on Wednesday a commits
sion Of lunacy adjudged him insane,
and 1t was expected that within a few
lays he would be taken to Williams
burg where the papers were sent.
The funeral will take place this after
noon at half-past ? o'clock and inter-
nent made in the old family burying
ground at the home of Mr.. William
zee in Buckingham.

Death Of Mr.. Pollard.

SHEPPARDs, VA, Jan, 81, 1900.
EditOr Hcrdid;-Mr. George NJ. Pol
lard, one Of the foremost citizens Of
buckingham county, died on the 9th
inst.
George NJ. Pollard was born i'm Buck
lngham county in 1888, and his whole
life was spent among the people who
had known him from his youth up,
and those who knew him best loved
and respected him most.
Mr.. Pollard was man Of more than
ordinary talent, and while he never
attended any college yet there were
few men who possessed more Of CLASH
cal learning than he. He was ever
student, and was well posted on
nearly all subjects. In early life he
made profession of religion aud join
ed the Methodist Episcopal church.
was trustee-steward and Sunday school
superintendent of Smyrna church for
many years. He was gifted in prayer
and so familiar was he with the scrip
lures that when a biblical question
arose he was always appealed to for an
answer. When the civil war began he
enlisted as a private and served until
he was released from northern prison
(after Lees surrender). He was badly
wounded on the battle field of Gettys-
burg and never recovered fully from
the effects Of his wounds. He was
always an ardent Southerner and
would have fought and bled again for
his beloved southland had occasion
offered.
Mr. Pollard was twice married, his
first wife was Miss Alice Gillispie sis
ter of Mr. Geo. NJ. Gillispie of our coun-
ty. His second wife, who survives
him, was Miss Jennie Cocks, of Prince
Edward county. His surviving child
rem are Mrs. I. r. n. Cocks, Of Prince
Edward, Herman and Minnie, and
Edith, Frank and Ernest. The last
three children by his second marriage
His little son, George NJ, Jr., died
about four years ago.
Mr.. Pollard always took an active
interest in public affairs, and held "A
number Of positions Of honor and trust
in our county. He had been, and was
at the time Of his death, clerk OF c0un-
ty and district school boards, and for
some time was deputy treasurer of the
county. He was a member of Farm
vile Lodge A. +. and A. NJ.
Hon. Jno. r. Moss says Of him: 81
knew him well, and numbered him
amongst my friends. His death will
prove a great loss to the community
He was a fine business man, and
gentleman in every sense of the word"
HE had been a sick man for months
but with almost super-human energy
kept going until about month before
his death. He bore his sickness calmly
and did not murmur nor complain,
and with his lol ed ones around him
passed away in sweet peace-the
gift of Gods love.
His burial was attended by a large
concourse of people, many from dis
lance. The burial services Of the
Methodist church were conducted by
his pastor, Rev. Bascom Dey, assisted
by Rev Joshua S. Hunter, Of Farm
vile. His brother Masons, of Farm
vile Lodge, then took charge Of the
body and the solemn and impressive
services of the masonic fraternity were
conducted at the grave.
Thus passed away one Of the most
useful and most popular men Of our
community. His influence for good

State Female Education.

The effort to pass a bill 10y the pres
ent Legislature to aid and encourage
female education will be generally ap-
proved by the tax payers of the State.
1t is strange that to the present day
nearly all the aid the State has given
in the way Of preparing teachers for
our schools has been for males, when
more than two-thirds of the teachers
Of the public schools are females. 1t
is true the Farmville Normal School
has been fitted up for females and con-
Quoted by the State, and State pupils
get their tuition free, but they have to
pay all other expenses, and not many
are able To bear that expense. The
measure to be brought before the
Legislature by Mr.. Todd, Of Augusta,
provides an annual appropriation Of
5000 to be expended in educating 100
females from the counties at the Farm
vile Normal School, the cost for one
session to be 800, Of which the State
will pay half for three years. No pupil
will be admitted under 10 years of age,
and every applicant under this pro-
vision will be required to sign con-
tract to teach in the public schools of
the State for six years.-FfederickS-
