The Towns Finances.

Editor Hcraid.-YOur last issue re-
ports a statement by the town treasu-
rer To- the council showing the present
total OF revenue with Indebtedness of
the town. This says: 81 beg to advise
that at the close of the last fiscal year
we had given notes to the banks Of
Farmville amounting to 5000; since
that time you have borrowed from
banks 5000, making a total Of s. OOO
now due on this account"
The following is also Of your report:
Of this same meeting Of the councils
CATER authorizing the mayor and
treasurer to borrow 800 for current
expenses the council adjourned"
Your issue Of September 18th reports
called meeting Of the council: "The
town council met in special session on
last Tuesday night. The object Of the
call was to look farther into the need
Of a new generator for the electric plant.
The motion for such a purchase was
unanimously carried. The cost Of the
machine is 81 ,46O, f. o. b. Schenectady
y. Y" This machine Is just now be-
ing installed. Taking only the council
figures for il the towns total indebted
ness TO date is some $1,000 payable
within the next month. This call and
note Indebtedness is caused by the
councils failure TO meet the towns
current expenses out Of her current rev
enue. This Indebtedness must not be
c6nlounded with the bonded debt Of
the town, some SIS 600.
Truly this is an alarming 4uo extra
ordinary situation such as has nevel
before been attained to in ali the finsn
cial history Of the corporation.
Yours very truly,
w. Il. DAVIDSON.

Traveller vs. Weaver

Editor Her0id:-When a man loses
his temper in discussion he confesses
the weakness Of his cause. In his last
communication Mr.. Weaver uses
such expressions as "weakn "subte-
fuge," Charges unsupported" and the
like, in reply to a dispassionate criti-
cism Of public highway in which all
citizens have a common interest.
And is it necessary before making
such criticism to move around and get
proof Of its business? A citizen drives
over a certain section Of public road
finds 1t in bad condition or badly work
ed, but before he dares open his mouth
on the subject he must interview the
"people living along the way who
know its past rs well as its present con-
dition and are therefore competent to
judge I" That's to muzzle every citi-
zen who hasn't time TO get up neigh
borhood-petition before making public
complaint Of a public nuisance!
Those Of us who heard the Hon. r..
G.. Southall cruelty certain aspirant
for Office who stated that before casting
any vote as Senator he would first come
home and consult his constituency,
will congratulate Mr.. Weaver that
he did not assume any such remark
able position in a public discussion with
the able Congressman from this district.
Freedom Of speech is blood bought
and iuestimable boon and this Mr..
Viewers logic(?) would utterly destroy.
"No instructions were given by the
board, says Mr.. Weaver. Then adds
that he gave them-as Weaver the
private citizen? Or Weaver as agent
Of the Board? If in the former capa-
city, do not wonder that Mr. Swan
did not obey them, for as such he has
no authority, but if as the latter he
ought TO know that what an agent
does for the principal that principal
actually does himself
IfMr. Southall were making this re-
ply ne would here add, "QW fach per
alum fqcH per se.n The Board and not
any one member Of the Board will be
held responsible for orders touching the
public road system Of the county.
Upon what meat hath this sole member
fed that he hath grown so great? l
was not after stirring up-the ire Of an
individual, but Of calling attention to
a public wrong, and having done so /
hope it will be corrected.
l can not close, however, without re-
peating and emphasizing the fact that
our Glow places" are not in need Of dirt
not Spoonful" Of it, but Of rock and
drainage aud though this may appear
weak" and silly to Mr.. Weaver, to
other people, ali Others l trust, 1t is
sensible to the last"
As an humble citizen reserve the
right Of criticising public men and
measures, and am not going to ask per
mission from a community before do
ing so.
TRAVELLER.
y. B.-This is my last, provided Mr.,
Viewers "last" was really his last.

Take Care of the Military.

We clip the following from the Rich-
mond News-Leader concerning the
probable disbandment Of some of the
State militia. The people Of Farm
VILE should look well to its Company
and see that the required quota Of men
is kept to prevent from disbandment.
"Seven companies Of the State mill
tia are in danger of disbaudment be-
cause Of lack Of membership. Not on
ly should people Of Virginia see that
these companies are kept in service, but
they should take care that new conn
panies are organized and offered to the
State. Employers Of men Of military
age should spare no.pains to encourage
their employees to join the militia and
10 aid in making their service effective.
The conditions appeal to the patriotism
and the interests of young and old and
rich and poor alike. The militia force
is the backbone of the good order and
stability Of the State and all who are
interested in the maintenance Of good
order and the supremacy Of the law
should aid the militia in every possible
tpqv

The principal business Of our people

quired to be in place, aud so thanksgiv-
