The old Confederate veterans OF
the State are beginning to respond
10 the call issued some days ago
by Brigadier General Webb Of the
First Brigade. United Confederate
Veterans, for funds for Beauvoir.
General Webb issued an appeal
some weeks ago to all of the camps
in his division, asking them to
make an effort to raise some money
which is to be turned over TO the
Sons of Veterans for the purpose
of paying off the balance due on
Beauvoir. This morning General
Webb received from the camp at
Lexington a draft for S93 30. being
the amount of money raised by
that camp for the Beauvoir Home.

The Legislature of Virginia in
its recent session very commend
ably showed its appreciation of the
efforts of the Richmond ladies who
have been providing a home for
needy wives, sisters and daughters
of Confederate soldiers. by appro-
prlating money with which to build
a new home and enlarge the scope
of the work. For two years seven
teen worthy women have been
given shelter from the ills of un-
provided old age, but there are
several hundred persons equally
in need, who at present have to be
turned away The fair to be open
ed in Richmond next Monday in
aid of this most deserving enter
prise will largely supplement, it is
hoped. the resources of the lady
managers. among whom are a
daughter of Il. +. Lee and the wife
of the present governor of Nir-
ginia. The Nirginians who served
in the Confederate armies made a
glorious record for their State.

Cures

The tortures and evils of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train OF evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings OF
dizziness, languor. nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss OF
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action OF the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use Of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use OF this marvellous medicine allays the
Inflammation Of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers OF the body
and removes all waste matter; II eleanses the

follsws:-

Conference for Education In
the South

Richmond. Va, March IL. The
Sixth Session of the Conference of
Education in the South will be
opened in Richmond on the after
noon of Wednesday. April y, and
will close on the evening of the
oath.
This body was formerly known
as the Capon-Springs Conference.
Its annual meeting was held last
year at Athens, Ga, and in the
preceding year the Conference
gathered at Winston Salem, n G..
The presiding officer is Mr. Robt
&. Ogden, of New York City, and
among the most closely connected
with it, origin was the late DIR. J .
l.. Nj. Curry, agent of the Peabody
and Slater Boards, member of the
General Educational Education
Board, and supervising director of
the Southerd Education Board. In
deed, both the General and South
ern Boards may be said to owe
their existence and inspiration to
the Conference for Education in
the South, just as this Conference
SO largely owed its own inception
to the work of DIR. Curry.
The decision to hold the Con
ference this year in Richmond was
reached only after the executive
committee had given careful and
respectful consideration to the in
VI from har IS
sentative Southern cities. The in
vitation to Richmond was cordial
ly and earnestly presented by the
Richmond Education Association
the Richmond Chamb Der of Com
merce, the Governor of Virginia
the Legislature, the State Depart
ment of Education. the University
and many other representative in
situations of the commonwealth.
The Conference will open for or
ganization in Richmond on the af
ternoon of April %, in the Acade-
my of Music, on Eighth Street.
The formal opening will occur on
the evening of the Odd. at which
time the Hon. A. j. Montague.
Governor of Virginia, will deliver
the address of Welcome, and Mr..
Robt. G. Ogden will present the
annual address of the president.
The interest of the programme
will continue until its close on the
evening of the Oath. Representa-
tive educators, statesmen, men of
letters and men of affairs will be
present from every section of the
country. Much importance will be
given to such subjects as agricul-
tural and technical education, and
there will be opportunity for in
formal discussion of such topics rs
the consolidation of schools and
the improvement of public school
houses and school surroundings.
The Conference has always been
interested in the prob
lens connected with rural schools. |
The local arrangements as to the
meeting are in the hands of the
executive committee Of the Rich |
mond Education Association, P.O
Box 6SS, Richmond, Va. The pro-
gramme, in full, will be published
at an early date. The plans for
the week will include a public ser
vice in memory of DR.. Curry.
Arrangements as to reduced
fares over the railroads, and as to
hotel and boarding house accom-
will be announced with
in few days. J

LOOK OUT
For CoIds-la Grippe |!

Protect yourself, and don't trust 10
Providence. Considering the harm
done, neglect before and after taking
a cold is physical crime. You may
prevent a cold, or, if too late, you can
insure yourself against the latter eff
ects," for there is the greatest danger,
by using DIR. Harter's Iron Tonic. Few
die from Colds, or La Grippe, or Ca
tarrh. They die of the after effects.
These diseases all weaken, and TO a
weakened body come fiocking a host of
diseases that fasten on weak lungs,
heart, stomach, kidneys, and other
weak parts that we seldom think of.
The easiest and best thing to do is to
fortify the system SO that you will not
catch cold, but if too late to do that,
then you must see that no lasting in
jury is done. Medical authorities all
agree that iron is the fighting element of
the blood enabling the system not only
to ward off disease, but to fight it after
