WANTS AN ELEVATOR

Another effort to install an ele
vator in the city hall will be made
next August wnen the city cohn.
Gil fixes department appropriations
Aside from the fact that lack
of an elevator causes all kinds of
hardship for aged and tired per-
sons wishing to transact city bust
ness and register, its installation
will be measure of economy.
The park commission could use
one of the rooms on the top floor
and save $40 a month rent it is
now paying in the Traders Bank
building.
The Associated Charities Office
could also be moved up, relieving
the cramped conditions in the free
employment agency
"An elevator in the city hall is
something l shall demand" de-
clared the mayor this morning.

TO ASK COUNCIL
FOR AUTOS

There is a movement on foot to
ask the city council for automo-
biles for the engineering depart
ment and the board of public
works. 1t is argued fliat this would
prove economical both in the &C.
tual cost and service. The city
keeps five horses and buggies now
at considerable expense. If auto
mobiles could be used instead, the
expense would not be nearly $50
great, it is figured
Mayor Moore favors the idea. He
said this morning, for instance,
that it takes the water commits
sioner several hours to make a
trip to the up-river pumping sta
ton and spells the days business
for him. The trip could be made
in Is minutes with an auto. But
how about the speed limit.

Thomas Cavanaugh, health in

to the health board. Ever since he
got the job Cavanaugh has been in
hot water over something or 9TH

the crematory department, but
Supt. Merritt wouldn't have him,
declaring his work unsatisfactory.
The health board took him back
and made him assistant to Milk
Inspector Relnwald. But Ca
vanaugh couldn't do the work
there.
Health Officer Grieve said this
morning that notwithstanding
Cavanaugh has had considera BILE
trouble he believes he is strictly
honest and hard worker.

START BRANCH
LIBRARIES

The East Spokane Improvement
club wants a branch library, and
has started a movement toward Sc
curing one by sending a letter to
the mayor asking him to take the
matter up with the library board.
The mayor is highly in favor of the
proposition and says that the books
of the library should be circulated
in several localities. The bulk of
the people do not get the benefit
of the library now as it is located
too far away.
Branch libraies like branch post
offices are needed here. The gov
eminent has recognized the need.
Such places as 'drugstores would be
willing, it is claimed, to attend to
the circulation flee of charge.

STOCKING Up

Horsethieves are busy in Spo'
kane again. Yesterday afternoon
another horse disappeared. 1t was
dark bay weighing about 500
pounds and belonged to John Dull
lanty of E622 Twelfth av. He left
the animal hitched in the yard.
r When he returned at 1890 1t was
gone.
Spokane city horsethieves, and
county horsethieves, also, are ex-

other county.
He developed a horsethief rem

II was our privilege on last Sunday,
a day rich in blessings, spiritual and
temporal, to spend the evening hour
of worship with our Episcopal friends
The man or the woman who fails to
appreciate the beauty, the spirituality
and the reverence Of the form Of wor-
shin Of this denomination isn't re-

ages has been moving human hearts
and stirring human souls as they
have met to render praise TO the God
of the Church.
Differ a. we may as TO the propriety
and value Of extempore or printed
prayer. those Of us who have any
knowledge of the Episcopal prayer
hook must agree that it came from
the hands and hearts Of men who APP
preciated the soul-wants OF humanity
and who were inspired with holy
reverence for Almighty God.
The sermon Of the evening was
based ON the 23rd psalm, which the
preacher Justly said is one of the most
precious as it is one Of the most read
of all the collections Of Gospel gems

in his old aye. and after he had learn
ed by varied and trying experiences
that the Lord was the shepherd Of his
people.

one of the noted country homesteads
Of Virginia has long been known as
Haymarket. now owned and occupied
by Mr.. John Richardson, formerly the
property Of his father, who had about
II some 200 acres which was alter
wards divided into four farms among
the best cultivated aud most produc-
tive in all Southside Virginia. There
is an air Of the antique in and around
Haymarket. The trees that stood
guard about it are primeval and the
furnishings and decorations about the
house carry one back TO bygone. The
mirrors in the paTlor, the portraits, the
open fire place and the massive aud
brass andirons invite to Nirglnia's
past and one feels like standing with
uncovered head and silent admiration
in their presence.
Mr.. = Lipscomb and sons are
working the farm and here diversified
farming is being put into practical
operation.
On the afternoon Of our visit beans
and peas were being shelled for the
Normal and there were just eleven
dollars worth Of them crowded into
very small space. While looking at
the quarts that could be brought to
market by hand, OF as is done in
buggy, it occurred TO US that the whole
farm should be converted into a truck
patch and tobacco growing abandoned.
And yet their is fascination about
the tobacco crop that holds our farmers
to its culture.
Trucking is the lighter and cleaner
work and the wonder is that there
should be hesitation between the two
modes Of making a living on our
farms. And yet what would Farm
Vile do without its tobacco market?
its warehouses? its factories? and its
commission houses? so we expect
plant burning, planting, working,
worming, suckering, topping, cutiirg,
housing, firing and stripping to con-
tinue and rejoice that there are those
with strength and courage sufficient to
the exactng task.
On our way to Haymarket we pass
ed the home Of Mr.. Serpell, which he
bought Of Mr. w. II. Richardson, and
were impressed with the improve
ments which had been made. Ii Is
now one Of the most attractive coun-
try residences we know, and the plank
walk which leads from the corporate
limits to the place is a great comfort
to pedestrians. While Farmville IS
growing and improving all about he
has caught the spirit and is improv-
ing too. Let Us be glad that we live
i'm Farmyille and that we have such
pleasant and progressive neighoors'

DEAR SIR
\ responsible party, an experienced
newspaper man and printer, proposes
to start a wide-awake weekly news
paper in Farmville, which would give
the news weekly Of our Association,
without charge, as well as other To-
baccO news, local markets, etc. be
sides giving a good report Of the local
news Of Prince Edward, Cumberland
and adjoining counties. He asks the
support and influence Of our AssO-
citation. Please advise me at as early
a day as possible if he can count on
your support and put your name down
as a subscriber? The subscription
price will be 81 per year.
Yours truly,
+. l.. MORRIS,
Manager ,Farmville District Prizing
House Association.
The above remarkable card was
handed us one day last week by a
friend, who remarked as he did so,
"What has the Herald done to offend
the Prizing House Association? and
when did the Herald fall into the
hands of an irresponsible party? and
when did II cease to be a wide-awake
paper? and when did it fail to publish
the weekly news Of Farmville and Of
the surrounding country" to which
questions we beg to make the follow
ing reply:
We appeal to our weekly record
which says that the Herald has
always dealt fairly and literally with
the Prizing House Association, hav-
ing had its representative to visit in
person its place Of business, inspect IL
from cellar to tower and make elabo-
rate report Of the same, and that its
columns have ever been opened to
friends and members Of the ASsocia-
ten, and that notices Of meetings
have been published from time to
time without cost. As to the personal
responsibility OF the Editor, we are
glad to say that even in this day Of
high prices he still enjoys the proud
privilege of buying beefsieak on
credit.
We again refer to our columns and
modestly, and yet with good degree
Of satisfaction claim that they refute
the charge Of being fast asleep or in
different 10 local news of town and
country.
We are not selfish enough nor yet
foolish enough to object to the publ
cation Of another paper in live and
progressive farmville whether to be
under the auspices Of the Association,
or Of an individual. If the Herald in
the nineteenth year Of it's existence Is
not prepared to meet earnest and hon
est competition it is time that il should
die. Without a shadow Of boast we
affirm that we are ready to cross
lances with any and all knights who
may enter the field, and 10 say, Lay
on McDufi, and d-n be he who first
cries hold, enough
In justice to Mr.. Morris we will say
that we are in receipt Of a letter from
him in which he disclaims any re-
Election OH the Herald in the card o.
which we make complaint, but as the
letter to us will not receive the free
dom Of circulation which has been
given to the card, in justice to our
selves we give this publicity to our
plea Of mot guilty.
