Gives Them a Gentle Rap.

The jamestown Sun gives the
Williamsburg merchants the follow
ing rap:
The business men of Williams
burg vigorously protest against any
proposition to establish r. F. D.
mail service from that town. They
claim that if r. F. D. mail service
was established in that neighbor-
hood nobody would come 10 their
town. and that their business would
suffer as a result. So il seems as If
the post office is the one only at
traction 10 draw trade 10 your town.
Why do YOU not ma Se your goods
and prices the attraction, then hber.
ally advertise your attractions il
your local paper7 We confidently
believe that an experiment Of thi:
kind would produce most gratifying
results. Thousands of dollars ART
annually sent from Williamsburg anC
surrounding country to Norfolk
Richmond. Baltimore. New YoTl
and Chicago for clothing. shoes
dry goods. groceries. furniture. etc
This is cash trade. These peopl
want full value for their money.

THE civic
LEAGUE
.RGgllarSGSSi0lOf
that Body.

4nr IcE1ldr meeting OF TIC W.
Hamsburg CIVIC League was held On
Thursday. Jan. Q. al the Model
School. Among the questions dis
cussed were two which are OF vital
interest 10 every one OF our citizens.
We are al proud Of our one good
road nos only because OF is excel
lence as a road but also because
every bit Of the way between WI
iiamsbarg and jamestown discloses
some new natural beauty. Ever
since the road was open careless ig-
norant people have done their best
to disfigure the most beautiful vistas
with ugig piles of rubbish and trash.
These dump heaps have been a great
source of much ANNOYANCE and
shame 10 every lover OF beauty and
order who has travelled that road.
The Civic League has presented
q petition to the Council begging Il
70 appoint a suitable place for a pub
lie dump and they have also asked
that an ordinance be passed making
II nisdemeanor. after due notice,
10 deposit rubbish in anv place
where i would be Objectionable.
Il IS hoped that al citizens VIII do
their utmost 70 aid in the enforce
ment of the ordins nee and WI see
70 II that any rubbish taken from
their premises shall 60 10 the place
. appointed by the Council. The
; League last spring had barrels
placed along Main street in which
the public was asked 70 deposit
, waste paper. Some people did SO
but from the condition of the streets
one would have said that by far the
|. Greater part paid no attention 70 these
z receptacles. The barrels have
fallen TO pieces and the League IS
E Investigating the question OF some
y sort permanent receptacle. Pending
r their purchase the merchants arr
& asked 10 place barrels outside theil
II doors and the public IS asked 20 puI
waste paper in them. The Le7gus
y feels that every man. woman anr
= child IS interested in this novemen

Coleman, Chief of State
in State.

Mai. ]. Coleman Anderson, of
Charleston, chief of stan OF West vir-
ginIa division OF the United Confed-
crate Veterans, has addressed the fol-
lowing Letter to his comrades in the

Dear Comrades: We have secured
a rate OF one cent per mile to the

ham. Ala, on the 9Th, 10th and 18th

road ticket offices along the line OF
the G. & o. II. R. The rate from
Charleston for the round trip is
1910 and pro rata from all other

the expense of living at a high priced
hotel or boarding house while there,

FIRE eof charge in the John b. Gordon
hotel. Even street car transportation
will be furnished and fire submissions
TO all the entertainments. 1t has been
suggested to those who will accept
of this hospitality that where CON
venient 1t is advisable to take a
blanket along with them.
THE c. & o. agent here has re-
quested me to ascertain about how
many expect 10 go from the counties
along the line, OF the G. & o. R. r.
in West Virginia, and If forty or fifty
will go, he will engage a Pullman car
at a reduced rate from here, cost of
which Of course will be in addition
to the railroad fare named ,above.
Please give me as near as possible
the correct number who expect to at
tend from your camp and county, at
your earliest convenience, so l can
inform the railroad agent here Our
numbers are being rapidly reduced
and in the course Of human events
we can not expect to live to attend
many more reunions, and l hope that
as many as possible will arrange to
go to this one, as 1t may be the last
you will ever be able to attend"

AN HONEST CONFESSION
IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL

1t would indeed be quite a pleas
ure II the people of this city could
be in the drug store at TT Wayne,
Ind. at which place the Quaker
Health Teacher, who was recently
here. is now proving the merits of
the famous Quaker Herb Remedies.
and listen to some of the words of
praise from people of that city and
surrounding country in behalf of the
Quaker Herb Remedies. You would
be surprised to hear to what extent
people have been benefited in n short
time by these wonderful preparations
Remember, though, the remedies are
not cure-alls by any means, They do
not cure everything If you are af-
fected with n severe throat, lung,
chest or head troubles, do not try the
QuakeF Herb Remedies. It would
only be a loss OF time and money
to do. So, In such cases your special
ist orr fAhaily phYslcian is required
and most necessarily required with
out delay. But for Kidney, Liver.
Stomach or Blood Troubles, Rheu-
matism, Catarrh, Indigestion, etc,
these Quaker Remedies are highly
recommended. They will also ex-
pell worms and germs from the sys-
TEN. This has been proven right
here in this city and is being proven
every day. You may have been CON
WINGED of this but we merely men
ton 1t to show that these remedies
are doing everywhere just what they
did when the Quaker Health Teacher
was here. Honesty Is always the best
policy and this is what the Quaker
Health Teacher practices and
breaches. Wells Haymaker's drug
store keeps supply of same on
hand at all times.

weakens and pollutes the blood, and
anaemia, with its attendant evils of
pale, chalky compilations, weak,

Frequently the blood becomes

its appearance, and is kept up with
