RED TAPE.

Jeter E. Marsh has recently obtained
government position in the p. O..
Department at Washington at q salary
of $1,000 year to begin with, with
prospects of a raise after nine months.
He obtained this appointment by pass
ing the civil service examination a few
months ago. From what he says, this
examination is no harder than the one
held for public school teachers, although
somewhat different. He prepared for
it by means of a course from a CORES
pondence school. 1t seems the national
government is DESTROYS of having more
men from the South in its employ, and
l have given the particulars of Mr..
Marsh's good fortune for the encourage
ment of others whomay be able to avail
themselves of this exceptional oppor-
tunity.
f. j. Marsh has sold the timber on
the Bunker Hill and Anderson tracts to
Ed. Thomas & Sons. These tracts were
cut over some four years ago, and the
timber now sold, is what was then
understood.
Mr.. Bowen will purchase saw-mill
in the near future. 1t is evident that
numbering is on the boom here.

where DR.. Kilmer proposed to send a
sample bottle of his kidney medicine,
Swamp-R Root, free by mail. | sent at
once and received promptly a sample
bottle. After taking it found it did
me good. l then purchased two bottles
from our merchant, Mr.. w. J. Elizer.
After taking the medicine l felt like

to teach school. You are at liberty to

teen of the officers and agents were
present. several being absent from
sickness or other causes. Reports from
the Secretary. the Treasurer, the Au-

were heard, all of which went to show
that the Association has never been in
better shape, or in a more prosperous
condition than at the present time. The
reports submitted all show that the
Association isgrowing rapidly, and that
the new business written during the
past year was about one million dollars,

its worth. For the past ten years

and night; was all pulled up generally
Could not sleep more than a couple of
hours at time, was greatly distressed
after eating 4 meal and was about worn
out. had tried nearly everything |
could see advertised and hear of, with
out helping me TO any great extent,
until finally in October last at Ripan,
Wis, / purchased a one dollar bottle of
Swamp-Root and commenced taking it
according TO directions and | followed
that with another bottle and experience
ed such great relief and benefit from
same that | purchased five dollars worth
at huntsville Ala, and continue to
Its use and am now taking it, but i'm
smaller doses and twice day in place
of four times day and believe by the

OUR PHONE SERVICE.

The storm of last week played havoc
throughout the country with telegraph
and telephone lines. The Northern
Neck line is still out of commission.
Our local line was for several days in
turmoil. but force of men have nearly
gotten it repaired. This reminds us that
our Lancaster local phones, some thirty
odd, has cost those with instruments
about dollar month during the past
three ears, and this includes original
purchase and cost of construction.
The stockholders of the new tele-
phone line, the Potomac and Rappahan-
mock Company, at meeting a few
days ago in Westmoreland county, in
structed the directors of the company
to complete the line to Montross. the
county seat of Westmoreland county,
in the Northern Neck, and also TO build
new through wire from Colonial Beach
to Fredericksburg. "' '.-.."

SOME DEATHS.

1t is with deep regret that we chroni-
Gle the death of Lloyd ID. Barrack,
which occurred on Tuesday, February
23rd, after four weeks of intense suf-
fering from complication of diseases,
which he bore without a murmur of
complaint. He was the son of Mrs.
M. II. and the late James Barrack,
and was "a years of age. 1t seemed
as il he had almost more than his
share of this worlds Affections. At
the death Of his. father some years
ago he was left the main dependence
of a widowed mother with several
younger children. For the bereaved
ones, especially his two little mother,
less and fatherless babes, we have SYM
pathy, and hope that the truth of tho
text read by his pastor over his remain:
may apply TO them. His body was laic

very bad and they would have severe
spells of dizziness, and were all run
down in health. Twas just about dis
couraged-. / tried several remedies and
finally a doctor, but they dill not seem
to improve. knew of a friend who
was taking 'Swamp-Root for kidney
trouble with good results. and / decided
to get some for the children. | noticed
there was. some improvement after
they had taken two large bottles, and
continued to give it to them until they
had taken half dozen bottles and were
well on the road to recovery. l think
Swamp-Root has done more for nav
children than any other medicine have
tried and L recommend it to one having
children who suffered as mine did.

AGREAT STORM

Thousands of people bound for the
inaugural ceremonies in Washington
we're detained last Wednesday and
thursday by reason of paralyzed train
rattle, resulting from blizzard.
For hours Baltimore was cut Off from
communication with the outside world.
Almost the whole city lay under a net
work of fallen wires. Neither of the
two telegraph companies had a single
wire working out of Baltimore, and the
telephone service was badly crippled
locally, and altogether useless as to
outside points.
Train service throughout the United
States was practically suspended.
Here there was only few inches of
snow. with quite blow, but the snow
from Warsaw up reached depth of
two feet.

D0INGS In CONGRESS.

Congress closed March 4th and will
convene in extra session March 18th.
The House defeated Senator Daniels
bill to allow Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee a pen
sion of $50 month.
Congress will consider a bill requir-
ing gasoline craft to use mufilers. The
penalty is put at SIS.
The salary of the President has been
increased to $75, 900, but the 1000
for travelling expenses has been with
drawn, SO it isn't much of a raise"
after all. When Congressman lifted
themselves to 81. 500 they carried mile
age. pen-knife and, other perquisites
along with them. In the grab they
lost nothing. -Farmville Herald.
SPEAKERS vALEDICToRY.
Mr.. Cannon as retiring Speaker. said:
=, "After all is said and done in the
affairs of parties and of men, what is
needed in the public service, is virile
men; men who favor policies that they
believe in and have the courage of their
convictions, whether it be the majority
or the minority, and a minority, virile
and patriotic, is as necessary as is a
majority ina government of the people.
Strong men in public life, as well as in
private life, strike above the belt and
tell the truth.
