has been a ,cOmplished for better high
ways in Virginia within the past three
years than had been achieved during
the previous three hundred years Of
our history. Ii is not claiming too
much to say that for the past seven
teen years / have devoted myself TO
the accomplishment Of this work, or
that the success Of the work is attested
by the fac. that Estate Aid - has been
adopted in ninety out of one hundred
counties.
If the reward of one duty done be
the power to do another, if the Demo
cratic party of the Fourth District will
honor me with the nomination and
thereby entrust me with the power 10
do so, | pledge myself to devote
such abilities as | have to the task Of
representing them in Congress. / am
free 10 confess, however, that | am not
blind TO the limitations which neces-
sarily restrict the efforts of any new
member Of the minority party TO Sc
cure the enactment of constructive
legislation.
There are necessary business inter
ests Of the people of this District i'm our
relations wit the Federal Govern
mert. which / conceive, may be at
tended to efficiently if a proper amount
Of industry be devoted to The work,
without its being requisite for can
didate to claim that he can accomplish
the impossible.
The next session of Congress will be
one Of great importance. IL will be of
interest TO the State as well as 10 the
people of the Fourth District, that
there be no vacancy in the Virginia
delegation. presume, therefore, that
steps will be taken shortly by the Dis
trict Committee TO order a primary i'm
accordance with the party plan 20 that
we may unite upon Democratic can
didate for the special election which
will be ordered by the Governor.
Subject to the nomination Of the
Democratic party, and relying upon
your friendly assurances of support, !
shall announce myself a candidate for
Congress whenever the Governor shall
zee iit 10 order an election.
With high regard, am,
Very respectfully,

HAPPY WOMEN.
Plenty Of Them in Farmvlle, and Good
Reason for II.

Wouldn't any woman be happy,
After years of backache suffering,
Days of misery nights of unrest,
The distress of urinary troubles
She finds relief and cure?
No reason why any Farmville reader
Should suffer in the face OF evidence
like this:
Mrs. Charles Chick, Main street,
Farmville, Va, says: about SIX
months ago was suffering
from attacks of kidney complaint, and
was in a miserable condition from
pains across the small Of my back. The
trouble bothered me just as badly at
night as during the:day, and from the
various symptoms l knew that my
kidneys were disordered. / finally
went to Freear's Drug Store and pro-
cured box of DOan's Kidney Pills. /
had used them but short time before
the pains disappeared, and my Kid
news were restored TO their normal
condition. have had no kidney
complaint since then, and ] willingly
give Doan's Kidney Pills my endorse
ment."

The Herald owes an apology to
Master Jas. A. Armistead, double Jr. g.,
for having in its last issue gotten him
mixed up with a girl. 1t was just a
mistake, and we regret it. The man
who would find the girl in the make
up of such a manly boy, manly from
spur to plume, must have been
stone blind. We lift our hat to Mas
ter Jas. A. Armistead of the Bird gene
ration.
Miss Martha Cunningham, of Rich
mond, is guest in the home of Mrs.
Tabb. Her presence in our midst re-
wives memories of her distinguished
father the late DR.. Cunningham, who
for years was the able and beloved
president of the State Normal, who
left upon it an impress and gave to it
an inspiration which will be felt
through the ages to come.
We have the last issue of the
Hampden- Sidney magazine and have
very much enjoyed reading of the i'm
provements on the classic hill and of
the new life thrill that stirs the place
and people. What sad mistake Union
Seminary made in cutting loose from
such surroundings and severing the
ties that bound it to such sacred
ground and hallowed associations.
The sun was obscured by clouds on
Sunday, but there were good congre-
cations, and good cheer and glad ser
vices in our churches. DR.. Hatcher
preached his farewell sermon at the
evening hour of worship before a
large audience, who have been ac-
customed to hear him gladly" and
who give him up as pastor reluctantly.
And now all eyes are turned towards
his successor, and all Fdrmville shares
in the interest.
Several members of the Normal
School Faculty have become very
much interested in a little visitor who
appears at the Chapel exercises every
morning. A tiny English sparrow
perches on the sill of one of the east
windows of the auditorium and knocks
loudly for admission; although the
windows all around him are open, he
has never come to any but this par
ticular one and he has missed only one
morning since his first appearance
four weeks ago. At the summer
school during the past summer a spar
row came to this same window every
day for three weeks, just at the time
Of the Chapel exercises which were
then held at l0:l5; he was just as
prompt and regular in his appearance
as this one is now at S:35. Could il

The following article gives evidence
that our western slope towns are not
sleeping when it comes to placing
their resources before The people that
do things. The Grand Junction Daily
News of the 10th says:
within the next few weeks the
Grand Junction chamber or commerce.
cooperating with the progressive oiu-
zens of Montezuma county. the resi-
dents of western Montrose, San Miguel
and Dolores counties will assemble
al possible information m regard to
the production OF the rich territory
lying between Durango and Grand
Junction and place 1t before the Har.
riman interests to bring about, il pos
sible, the immediate continuation Of
the northward extension Of the South
crn Pacific from Lordsbure. n NJ,
TO Durango to Grand Junction
''fhe Southern Pacific is now build.
ing its north line out of Lordsburg to
Durango. Three gangs OF engineers
are employed in running the lines and
terminal yards have been purchased
by the Hartman people at Durango
The immediate cause for the construc-
lion of this line is the opening OF ,he
coal fields about Durango. II is also
known that Hartman surveyors are
running line south from Wamsetta,
Nyo, towards Grand Junction. Harri-
man Is planning on a new Puget
Sound 10 Gulf of Mexico line to corteud
with Hill's Gulf to Sound line which
he recently secured through The pur
chase of the Colorado Southern. II is
also reported that Hartman has Sc
cured control of the Rio Grande sys-
tom and that. the north extension Of
the Southern Pacific will Join with the
Rio Grande Western at Grand Juno
lion. If this Is so the proposal on
the part of Hartman and Gould to
build the Dotsero cut off and the Di-
vide tunnel makes ii clear that Harrl-
man plans to make Grand Junction
the central point of distribution on
freight directly east into Denver over
the Rio Grande and the Moffat road,
using the latter as a joint track.
The Montezuma chamber of com.
merce now has man in the field sc,
curing all the data on the production
ot the southern portion OF the Dolores
river territory. The Grand Junction
chamber of commerce will send ont
men into the Paradox and Naturifa
valleys and secure similar information
The Hon. W. b. Exert of C,rtez has
been delegated by the Moatezuma peo.
pie to meet with Mesa county com

discovery of great interest has
been made not long since at Pompeii
where the excavation work is being
steadily carried on. Under the ash de.
posiis there was found an extensive
villa of handsome construction and
ornamented with very fine frescoes.
The villa contains statues and other
works of sculpture both Greek aud
Roman, besides very rich furniture
which is well ornamented aud also
many vases of different kinds There
were also found Golfers filed Win
gold and silver money In the base
meRt are great amphorae which were
used for storage purposes, and IN. the
triclinium the tables We're prepared for
banquet of thirty persons An abun-
dance of silverware is one of the fea-
lures of the discovery. and It is said
to be equal in weight and artistic char
acter TO the silverware discovered in
the villa of Boscoreale and now pos
sessed by the Louvre. Some OF the
silver pieces seem to have been taken
ont at previous epoch, for there are
traces of elandestine search which
was made at former date.
