ton for four years which has cost me
(ineludiRg all premiums and assess

which is little over per cent a year.
As the association will not insure over
$1,000 an any one stock of goods. i
carry policy for 81 900 also in one of

MONUMENTS ERECTED.

On this page is a cut illustrating a
monument erected at Farnham Baptist
church to the memory of DR.. Lawrence
Gunyon Mitchell. 1t is a draped shaft
built of dark blue Barre granite stand
ing eighteen feet high and is considered
one of the most artistic memorials in
that section. Another handsome piece
of work is the Tinsley monument at
Mathews Courthouse which is similar in
design to the Mitchell monument.
In course of construction are Memorial
Gates and cemetery fence for Rose
land cemetery. Reedville, Virginia, also
a monument and life size granite statue
of Mr.. Alfred Morris, who was the
founder of the cemetery. In her will,
Mrs. Morris, deceased. left an appro-
priation of $5.000.00 for this purpose
and the work is being carefully looked
after by Mrs. Emily Fisher, sister,
who lives at Reedville.
A Confederate monument is to
be built and unveiled at Tappahan-
mock. Virginia, in July next. This
monument will be of the celebrated
Barre granite, q feet high and six
feet square at the base. 1t will be sur
mounted with granite Confederate
soldier at parade rest, life size. The
cap beautifully carved end on the shaft
will be the crossed flags and the Vir-
ginia Coat-of-Arms or the Confederate
seal (yet undecided). The four panels
of the die will be of bronze and have
seven hundred names or more of the
soldiers who enlisted in the Confederate
Army from Essex county. 1t is to be
erected in the public square in front
of the courthouse to perpetuate the
memory of the brave men who were
mustered into service on that spot,
many of whom lost their lives in the
battles of the Civil War. The money
for the erection of this beautiful monu-
ment was raised through the untiring
efforts of the Women's Monument AS
ISOLATION of Essex County, Virginia.
and in view of the many difficulties that
confronted them, they deserve great
credit for accomplishing their purpose.
o. j. Hammell Co., of Pleasantville,

of all this work.

TO CONVICT HOUSE BURNERS.

One good feature of the new State
Insurance Bureau is that it ferrets out,
at State expense, the many incendiary
burnings.
State Insurance Commissioner Button
has just secured conviction in Lynch
burg of two white men, and had them
sentenced to three years each in the
State Penitentiary for burning the
building in which they conducted a
store. The case against the men was
worked up by the Insurance Depart
ment.
