miles to do a job Of work and told his
children he would not be able to get
through in time to return and not to
look for him. lie hired horse from
Mr.. Megisson, who lives about one
half mile from his home. Finishing
his surveying earlier than he expected,
he returned and left the horse at Its
owners about dusk and started home
afoot by a winding path through the
woods. lie never reached home, and
the family not expecting him were in
ignorance ofhis movements. The next
evening he was found by some child

few hundred yards Of his home; he

Hampden.Sldney'S Removal.
ARcANUM, VA, Feb. .,

aAl'ANi " ' thtf 4 W. -
Editor Heraid;-I was sorry TO read
in late issue Of your paper that the
citizens Of Farmville were inclined TO
consider aud discuss the feasibility OF
removing the college Of Hampden-
Sidney to your town.
This question Of removal, as you
know, has been agitated again and
again in past years with Richmond
the claimant for its home, and pro
tests have been made in your columns
against every such move, manly on
the grounds Of historic associations OF
the old college at its present site.
1t is the thin edge Of the wedge en-
tering the huge log that causes its final
opening and splitting; and if the low
ers Of Hampden-Sidney once concede
the point that its removal is a debatable
question, then the choice Of its new
location is only a matter Of majority
votes. and in her colossal greed for
everything in sight, Richmond will
outtalk, outbid and outvOte all COM
petitors, and the old college like the
seminary will be engulfed in her in
satiable NAV.
| have no personal interest in Hamp-
den-Sidney. had not the privilege
i'm youth Of being a student within her
classic walls but revere the memory
Of those, my countrymen, who in theiT
wisdom located and founded that
world-famed institution, and re-echo
the command Of Holy Writ: "Remove
not the ancient landmarks which
your fathers have set"
With no higher motive than mere
policy as reason, ! would ask
What is to he gained by removal? II
has done noble work in the past as
attested by her scholars that are now
i'm middle life scattered all over this
union the peers in inte'lect and char
acter, as preachers, lawyers, doctors
&c. Of all others it is ilourishing now
and still improving and keeping pace
with modern thought a shown 10y

untiring president, Rev. Mr.. McAllis

VIII ANYBODY dare say that the late
Phil. W. Mckinney would have beeI
an ADLER lawyer, a better governor,
purer man, had Hampden- Sidney beer
located in a noisy, wicked city at thu
time be was a student thereat?
No. Mr.. Editor, it is not anxious in
te est i'm the material or moral welfar
of Young men that towns like Farm
willie or cities like Richmond are grasp
ing for colleges and universities with
i'm their borders; it is that evergrow
ing, Unsuitable, despicable greed 70
commercial gain that is rampsn
throughout our land.
If Farmville is DESTROYS Of keeping
Hampden-Sidney College on the far
famed hill its present site, she mus
stihe. and crush out every risin
thought of material advantage to hei
self, for just so sure as consent to 1t
removal anywhere is conceded, just
sure will Richmond be its new home
and the pride Of more than a centur
will be but a memory in Prince Ed
ward county. H. OF b.
