IN VIRGINIA

Something more thar = year ago
the Commoner printed a poem emit
tied In Virginia" The author of the
poem is unknown to the Commoner.
Mr.. W. A. Sullenbarger of Belle Plain,
Ia, set the poem to music and sent
the same to Mr.. Eggleston, state SUI
perintendeRt of public instruction for
Virginia, expressing his desire to pre-
sent it to the schools of that state.
The Virginia Journal of Education,
published in Richmond, prints in its
April number, Mr.. Sullenbarger's
song. The poem, I'm Virginia" fol
lows:
The roses nowhere bloom so white, as
in Virginia,
The sunshine nowhere shines so
bright, as in Virginia;
The birds sing nowhere quite so sweet
and nowhere hearts so lightly
beat,
For heav'n and earth both seem to
meet, down in Virginia. down in
Virginia.
The days are never quite so long, as
in Virginia,
Nor quite so filed with happy song,
as in Virginia;
And when my time has come to die,
just take me back and let me lie,
Close where the James goes rolling by,
down in Virginia, down in Vir-
ginia.
There nowhere is land so fair, as
in Virginia,
So full Of song, so free of care, as in
Virginia;
And / believe that happy land, the
Lord prepared for mortal man
Is built exactly on the plan of Old
Virginia, of Old Virginia.

able Statement After Travelling
From the Atlantic to the
Pacific.

AS he secured some Of the most
notable Endorsements to his theory,
he does not hesitate in saying that
he will positively guarantee bloodine
to cure stone in the bladder or any
kidney or bladder trouble, no mat
ter how long you have been suffering
Ninety-seven per cent of the entire
population of the United States are
afflicted with kidney or bladder
trouble. In the last seven years blood
inc has cured SO per cent of the
cases that have been treated with it.
Hundreds of cases of hemorrhage
of the. bladder have been cured after
treatment in some of the leading hos
pitfalls have failed to even relieve the
patient. We are therefore confident
that our theory Of treating these
cases with bloodine. is the only pos
sible name in which such a large
percentage of cases can be cured, that
we do not hesitate to guarantee the
efficiency of bloodine.

of the Postal Telegraph and Gable Co.

Shortly after supper Tuesday Q
ing Sheriff Plotner and Deputy Cook
discovered q rather remarkable oper-
alton being performed at one Of the
basement windows which open into
the county Jail at the court house. A
character by the name Of Henry Bud
word, who has been in police court
several times, was lying face down
wards on the grass outside the win
dow pouring the contents of a bottle
Of whiskey down through a funnel
made out of a newspaper into the Jail
below. 1t is needless to say that
there was a mouth at the other end
of the funnel and that it was alb
sorbing the liquor from the bottle as
fast as it came through. After he was
thoroughly satisfied what was hap
pening the sheriff planted his boot
on a part of Budword's anatomy that
was handy and then proceeded to put
him under arrest. Ibis morning in
police court the victim Of circumstan-
ces pleaded guilty to furnishing liqu-
or to prisoners and was fined $15 or
W days in Jail by Judge Markham.
The sheriff has known that something
of this nature has been happening
and was glad to stop the leak, as II
were.
