the Importance of reading and studying
their policies for fire insurance" said
Colonel Joseph Button. 1t is essential

SOME DIFFICULTIES GETTING TO
SCHOOL.
Tipers, Va, Nov. %. 1909.

Tipers, Va. Nov. 22, 1909.
EDITOR VIRGINIA CITIZEN:
We folks of Simpsons Wharf have
such a good school and such good
conveyance for getting our children to
the school that / feel that some one
ought to say a word in its behalf. the
grand old omnibus should not suffer for
a word of praise at our hands. So far
as the school is concerned think it is a
grand institution and we should look
upon this High School and it's compe-
tent teachers with pride. But Just a
word in regard to the grand old school
wagon. Our little children are pulled
out of bed before it is day, too soon of
course for them to even want any
breakfast and warm one would per
haps make them sick. In addition to
this, the children have to walk from
one-half to one mile to get to the wagon.
Then again at night it is dark when
they get home. 1t seems that it is a
hard matter to get man to drive the
school wagon that has a pair of horses
that will weigh 1000 pounds to the pair.
We only live in the hopes of a better
service in the future than in the mast
and we hope that our gallant driver NAV
soon have such team as will give
entire satisfaction. as we do not ask for

ESSEX AHEAD IN THE HAY CROP

According-to a correspondent
OF the Southside Sentinel. a farm
er oil Essex county raised this
season six tons of hay from an
acre at a single cutting. He
claims that this is the largest
crop ever recorded in the State.
1t seems q pity that, while here
IN this part of Virginia bigcrops
OF hay can and are made, it is a
frequent occurrence to see bales
OF hay landed at our wharyes.
why our farmers do not give
this crop more attention is hard
to understand. Hay is never a
drug; there is always sale for it:
1t is a crop that keeps, and a.
crop that does not need much cul-
hvating: Yet, in spite of all this,
we import much of the hay we
might raise. Stop it.
