Need of an Ambulance.

The need of an ambulance is felt in
this city in emergencies when 1t is
necessary to transport sick or injured
persons to the Alexandria Hospital.
This want is often observed by physicians
when cases occur where people have to
be carried through the streets on
stretchers subjected to the gaze of
passersby. The city is now blessed
with one of the best fitted hospitals in
the State where expert medical skill and
attention is given patients, and it is
thought by many that the adjunct sug-
gested above should have been provided
long ago.

at the sbipyard a few days ago fell from
a scaffolding and in his descent came in

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

Seven Aldermen were present. The
board concurred in the action of the
Common Council on all papers sent in
save with the adverse report of the
finance committee on the petition OF
G. H. Richards, Oyerseer of Outdoor
Poor, for an increase in salary.
When the report was read Mr.. Clark
arose and expressed regret at the COM
mittee's action. He said he did not think
they had viewed the matter in its proper
light and in a succinct manner stated why
he thought the petition should have been
granted. He moved that the report be
laid on the table.
Mr.. Hill seconded the motion and it
prevailed.
The ordinance amending the ordinance
granting the Washington-Southern Rail-
way Company permission to lay a side
track to the Bell-Pre Bottle Works, in
troduced at a previous meeting, also
came in from the lower board, which had
passed it. Upon a vote being taken the
ayes were to 1-Mr. Clark, who had
voted against the original ordinance.
The action of the Common Council on
all other papers was concurred in by
unanimous votes.
COMMON COUNCIL.
The board was called to order at 7:40
by President Paff.
Nine members were in their seats at
the opening of the meeting but two came
afterwards.
Capt. Bryan, from the finance COM
mittee, reported favorably an ordinance
prescribing the method by which the
property owners may pay the special
street tax by five annual Install
ments and the ordinance was adopted,
yeas 9, nays 0.
The committee reported adversely on
the petition of Overseer Richards for in
crease of salary and the report was
adopted.
The street committee reported adj
versely on Supt. Colvin's proposal that
the W., A. & Mt. V. Ry. Co. would
pay 5000 in place of changing the rail-
way curve at King and Royal streets
and the report was adopted. The curve
now in use, it is claimed, approaches too
near the cub line at the southwest cor
ner of the intersection mentioned and is
not in accordance with the specifications
laid down by the City Council in con-
nection with the King street improve
ment.
An amendment of the law authorizing
the railroad switch at the plant of the
Bell-Pre Bottle Company was adopted.
The amendment extends the switch to
Madison instead of Wythe street.
The committee on streets reported in
favor of granting Cuvillier & Company
one-fifteenth of the contract price here
tofore reserved on the King street con-
tract and the report was adopted.
An ordinance to pave, and charge on
the adjoining property the cost, the
first alley south of Cameron street run
ming into Fayette street Hammer
dinger's alley) was passed, yeas IL,
nays 0.
The petition of Messrs. Ruben for
permission to build a row of six frame
dwellings on the west side of st. Asaph
streets between Queen and Princess
street, was referred, as was Lindsay
Jackson's petition for permission to ex-
tend frame dwelling on the east side Of
Alfred street between Duke and Wolfe
streets.
After waiting until the Board Of Alder
men had completed its business, Coun-
Gil adjourned.

Obituary.

David F. Curry, preacher in charge of Lacey Circuit, was born Sept. 7th, 1876, in Prairie Co.,, Ark, and died of pneumonia Feb. 7th 1903.
 Bro. Curry had served this work obe year with great success and was returned for another year. His people, together with others, re- ceived him gladly and he had made good start for second year, when God called him to a higher position.
 From the midst of field white unto harvest he was taken. Why God will take one so devoted, so earnestly engaged in the salvation of men we will not stop to com plain or ask. for we believe that 4all things work together for good to them that love the Lord" Out of this dispensation so shrouded with sadness, there will come, nc doubt, something which will bless the memory of this young shep- herd taken.
 Both saint and sinner respected and looked upon him truly as a man of God.
 He was genial fellow. preacher I learned to love him for his very earnest works sake and when heard that he was dead I was deep. ly grieved, for I felt that another brother had fallen.
 He expressed desire to get we'll if 1t was the Lords will, If not he was ready to answer the call. Just short while before he died chapter was read and he led in prayer. After the prayer he called his wife to him and kissed her good bye; also took his baby and the parting was pathetically sad, then folding his hands upon his breast answered the call.
 May the Lord bless his dear wife and sweet little babe.
 His friend and brother,
 ]. 0. Walsh.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science IS toward preventive measures The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It hss been fully demonstrated that pneu monia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical mon have tc contend with, can be prevented by the use of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re suits from n cold or from an at tack of influenza or (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy eounteracts any tendency of the disease toward pneumonia This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which thIs remedy has been used during the great pre- valence of colds and grip in recent y ears, and can be relied upon with implicit conf dence. Pneumonia often results from slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is sudden ly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest. then it is an. nounced that the patient has pneu- monia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Rene. dy as soon us the cold is contract ed. It always cures. For sale by Brown, McQuiston & Go.

MIR. EDITOR Allow me space through your paper to express my thanks to the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co. for the ton of high grade fertilizer awarded me as pre- mium on the best acre of cotton in Drew county. The Go. certainly has my endorsement as to the mer- it's of their fertilizer. There is not man in Drew county who cannot make at least from so to 100 per cent. more cotton by its use. It seems rather flattering to a poor little famer like myself to take the premium over the whole of Drew county, with her rich acres and in- telligent farmers: especially on land that was considered worn out 20 years ago. But this is only an evidence of the susceptibility of our lands, and shows plainly what might be done by the more intelli- gent farmer if sufficient bone sinew and vitality were used. It is high time the good old farmers of Drew were waking up to double dili- gence of their duty-plant little of everything their lands are best adapted to-use all the homemade fertilizer that can be saved on their farm, and if that is not suf- fcient, use high grade commercial fertilizer to finish up with. In the use of the two there is no danger of impoverishing their land; but, on the contrary, twill build it up and will in time build for them little bank account.

At every meeting of the Legis- lature the members are censured for a dereliction of duty; and it is generally the case that such censure is just. Too many men go to the Legislature merely for the money they can make out ot it, and with never a thought ot their country's good; and all such are thinking more about consuming time than they are about saving the people expense and taxation. In fact, a great many of them, when they reach the city and view its magnifi- cence and splendors, for the first time in life, are so deeply impress ed with their own importance that they forget their poverty stricken constituents at home and plunge head-long into all manner of extravagant expendi- lures. No man can do an honest part by his home people who does not keep their condition constantly in mind. When he is approached and appealed to for his vote for this measure or that, he should ask himself the ques- ton: Would this benefit or in- Jure a majority of the people whom represent? If he came to the conscientious conviction that 1t would injure them, he should have the manhood to say so and act accordingly, notwith- standing the fact that by so do- ing he might incur the displeas- ure of those who are attempting to use him for their own pur- pose and grandeur. The honest representative of the steady yeomanrv of the country, who stands by his people through thick and thin, may not be dined and wined in marble halls, and the like, but he will do his country good service and re- tain a warm place in the hearts of his countrymen which, to the right kind of man. is more precious than the smiles and smirks of a thousand svco- plants.

The practice of the later day legislatures to create soft places for broken down politicians is growing monotonous an d alarming. Every new office ere ated costs the people money, and unless there Is absolutely a ne- cessity for such an office it should not be made. The creation of new Chancery districts and the making of Chancellors is one of the legislative hobbies, and about nine times out of ten there is no need of such a district or ot- fcer. The circuit judge has am pie time to transact all the Chan cery business in his district, as a general thing, and where he can do so, no Chancellor is needed, and should not be provided.

It now begins to look like the Legislature was going to ad- journ without passing the neces- sary appropriation bills. The appropriation bills should have been looked after before now, and there is not the slightest ex- cuse or pretext for not doing so. If the Ways and Means Commit tee failed to bring in the bills in time, any member had a right to introduce them, or the House could, by resolution, order 1t done.

Wilmar Snap Shots.

From our Regular Correspondent.
 On Monday of last week, eff. and Frank, sons of H. o. Smith, of Wilmar, with one or two oth- CTS, were out hunting, or rather trying a couple of new guns the Smith brothers had bought, when the one in the hands of Frank went off, accidentally, and its load lodged in the thigh of Jeff. The charge was small shot, but the boys being only about twelve feet apart, 1t went with great force, entering the upper part of the thigh, just below the hip joint, breaking the bone and lodging be- tween the bone and inside of the thigh, causing very painful and dangerous wound Up to the pres ent time he IS doing well and his friends have strong hopes of his recovery.
 A travelling tent show stopped a couple of days in Wilmar last week, giving a performance each night. One of the main features of the show was man of extraor- dinary phisical strength.
