REDUCED RATE SECURED.
LOCAL SCHOOLS TO GET COAL
2 CENTS CHEAPER.

Mr.. Samuel p Sturgis Of DeKoven,
KY, was in the city Saturday and q
deal has been closed with him by
which he agrees to furnish coal to the
local public schools at price averag-
ing 2 per cent lower than the bids
placed by the local dealers when bids
were called for by the school board
last week.
A committee met last week and
opened the bids submitted and found
that all were alike; that the local
dealers refused to make any cut from
the regular price, Notwithstanding
the fact that the schools will use many
car loads Of fuel this winter. The To-
cal dealers claim that they would not
feel justified in making cut and the
board, intent on securing a cheaper
rate, met in conference with Mr.. Stur-
gis and closed the contract.

DEvoURED BY WORMS.

Children often cry, not from pain,
but from hunger, although fed abund-
antly. The entire trouble arises from
inanition, their food is not assimilAt-
ed, but devoured by worms. A few
doses of Whites Cream Vermifuge
will cause them to cease crying and
begin to thrive at once, very much to
the surprise and joy of the mother.

House for luncheon and general rejoicing over the
success of the trip TO Virginia. Mrs. Mary Hatch
Willard chairman, and Mrs Caroline Foot Marsh
secretary Of the committee presided. The luncheon
party included several guests who had not gone
the pilgrimage, but were greatly entertained by
the "reminiscences of those who had.
Mrs Willard gave a vivid description of the visit
to Shirley. where Anne Carter the mother of Rob
ert c. Lee lives. Mrs. Carter. who is than
eighty years old, stood the pier to welcome the
Northern pilgrims they landed at twilight In
her simple black silk white lace cap she looked
like lovely old picture" said Mrs. Willard land
beside her stood a pet ram. with huge horns. that
would have frightened Us all death if we had
met it alone Around her group of charm
ing Southern girls, who had constituted themselves
a reception committee, and we felt at once that we
were taken into their hearts with the most cordial
welcome. Mrs. Carter entertained in the most
delightful way in lovely old house, with its
ANTIQUE silver, rare old china and beautiful heir
looms of all kinds, and everybody seemed to feel
that our visit pilgrims their beloved State
formed a bond between North and South"
We really did not go as society" said Mrs
Marsh who Is historian of the New-York Society
of Founders and Patriots, but as Northern women
Virginia All the patriotic societies of women how
ever and, in some instances. of men. turned out to
welcome Us. Some of the party had heard of
force and they actually affected to tears by
the universal kindness. We feel that the pilgrim
age accomplished a far greater work than
nsctad In creating personal sympathy between
women OF the North and the South. We shall
make another pilgrimage next year. and shall in
Vite all the southern WoHheh TO come 10 us III d
