A BUsINEss-LIKE MEETING.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an account Of a meeting held by the
citizens OF Westmoreland county for
the purpose of discussing the road
question. The proceedings of that
meeting clearly show that at least
one county in this section cfVirginia
means to have better roadways or
make somebody feel uneasy.
The FREE LANCE doffs it's hat and
makes most graceful bow to the
wide-awake people OF Westmoreland.
III every county in the State will follow
the example of these citizens, it viii
not be long before there will be "some-
thin dom in the matter of improv-
ing the public highways Now let us
suggest that somebody call like
meeting at an early date in all the
rest of the counties and lets get
right down to business.
We are not chronic grumblers, but
it is appropriate for us TO say that
some of the roads in this section of
Virginia are not as well kept as the
average hogpen. 1t is Just as cheap
to keep our public highways in good
order as it is to pay big taxes on
property that is practically valueless
because of the miserable roads on
which that property fronts.
1t is wrong to expect Congress or
even the Legislature to bear all of the
expense of making our highways
passable. We must do something
ourselves. Is there a better time to
begin than right now?
In order to encourage the move
ment, The FREE LANCE will publish
notices of all such county meetings
free of charge, and will also doevery-
thing in its power to assist in making
the meetings a success.
Send along your notices, gentle
men, and let's make northern Viz
ginia, what it has a right TO be, the
brightest and most beautiful section
of the Old Dominion.

A minister in a near by town sur

notice from the pupil: "The regular
session of the Donkey Club will be
held after the regular services. Mem
bers will line up just outside the door,
make remarks, and stare at the ladies
who pass, as is their regular custom"
It is pity that there are not more
preachers to tell these donkey Club"
fellows their faults. 1t is repulsive
and offensive to the ladies to be gazed
and stared at by the callous youth and
men who only go to church for the
purpose of seeing and being seen, and
not for any benefit the sermon will do
them. 1t shows i'll breeding and the
imperfect gentleman to blandly stare
at and make slight remarks about any
lady, and if more preachers would call

pit, the evil probably might be rem

Death of Mrs. Clara Maxwell.

Mrs. Clara Maxwell, widow
of the late Augustus E. Maxwell,
died last Wednesday, the 10th
inst, and was buried from the
Baptist church of this city the fol
lowing day, Rev. R. H. Purser
officiating.
Mrs. Maxwell was born Septem-
Der 2, 1927, at Kosciusko, Attala
county. She joined the Baptist
church of that place in 1854. In
October of 1856 she, with her hus-
band and family, moved to this
city and after the Baptist church
was organized here, she became a
member of that body. There are
four children left to mourn the
departure of devoted mother,
and are as follows: Mrs. Mildred
Tibbs and Mrs. La Pearl Allen,
Napoleon Hubert and Andrew.
One son and two daughters preced-
ed their parents to the tomb.
Mrs. Maxwell had been ill for
several weeks preceding her
death, at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Tibbs, and all that could
be done for her by human hands
was done, but the end came, -the
golden cord was loosed. 1t was
inevitable; for the sands of life
were all run. Blessed is the men,
DRY of this loved mother and
friend.

The Best Reuedy for Group.


From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe.l
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop from one of
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case of
Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost
in case of burglars. There used to be
an old-fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better, and
does not cost so much. 1t causes the
patient to "throw up the phlegm"
quicker and gives relief in shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as the
croupy cough appears and it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t never fails and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale by
