Many improvements AIOng n. & ".

The Industrial Department of
the Norfolk & Western Railway
has just issued a report showing
the extent of the municipal and
industrial improvements along the
lines of that road between July l.,
1905 and June 80, 1909, which
shows that nearly fifty million
dollars have been spent during
that year.
This is a remarkably good show
ing, but will be eclipsed by the
present year, we feel confident, as
there is a spirit of progress and
improvement all along the n. &
W.'s lines, and the movement for
better things is increasing day by

GlimpSeS OF a Beautiful Life.

Before the dawn of recent Fall
day, at her home in the lovely
Valley of Virginia. Selma Williams
was called to the JOY of Heaven. to
Shine in the light of God"
The intellectual adornment and
the moral beauty that emanated
from her soul. diffused a benign
influence over those who enjoyed
her companionship, inspiring her
own faith and happiness that
emanated from daily communion
with the source of all good.
From the lights and shadows of
the mountains that fanked her
home, her early childhood caught
conceptions of the fair and dark
that through her life gave poetic
Inspirations, and from the ripple
of the river meandering near her
door, she caught the sparkle and
the music that gave a perpetual
charm to her companionship.
With her marvellous tact. her win
ming wit, and her overfiowing
kindness, was blended a wonderful
Judgment that proved her an in
valuable counselor, for it emanated
from that purity of soul which was
her imperishable glory. and in its
radiance she passsd fsom earth to
Heaven.

1t viii thus be seen that while
the total vote showed a falling Oft
of u votes from the total Of 2S2
cast in the 1907 election the vets
ware the heaviest losers. In 1907
the drys polled 172 votes. while the
vets polled 10. which gave a
majority for the drys of 81.
The vote OF last Friday shows
that the drys lost 20 votes and the
vets 81 votes a. compared with the
1907 figures.
The total vote was reduced
practically : per cent, while the
dry majority was increased 10 per
cent.
Probably the greatest disap-
pdintment To the vets was the vote
at Mount Airy. \ prominent wet
voter told the COURIER man few
days before the election that Mount
Airy would cast solid wet vote,
but its dry majority was I3 votes.
Unless there l. great change in
the sentiment now existing among
a large majority of the qualified
voters OF the district. we do not
expect 10 see another election Oh
the liquor question for many years
10 come. for we do not believe the
wet advocates will continue TO pat
their brains, energy and money
into losing fight, especially wher
they are confronted with the stone
wall of dry opposition which they
have encountered in Battletowr
district.

For Successful Creamery

The officials of the new Creamery
are now going ahead rapidly with
their arrangements for starting up
On January II, and it is believed
that the opening day will witness
a large delivery of milk and cream.
Milk routes are being laid out,
and the trouble of delivery will be
solved for the Creamery'S patrons.
The delivery route system will
be practically as follows: The
patron living farthest from the
plant on each of the routes will
act as the carrier for all the other
patrons between his home and the
Creamery. and will receive for his
trouble ID cents per 100 pounds.
When the milk of each customer is
weighed. the weight will be credited
TO the carrier and deducted. from
the total due the customer for
whom carried. Then, at the end
of the month, instead of having a
large number of small carriage bills
To collect, the carriers will be paid
by the Creamery Company in one
check, and the various amounts
will be deducted from the checks
OF the other patrons.
This is an eminently fair arrange
ment, and will work to the advan-
tage of all.
The approximate price which
will be be paid to customers here.
based upon figures from other
Creameries, is , cents per pound
less than the market price of the
product. this cents per pound
being charged to cover operating
expenses and cost of sale.
This will give the customers the
largest possible return from their
milk and cream.
OF course the number of cows
with which the plant will start will
be small, as compared with the
number desired. but the number
will rapidly increase as soon as the
backward" ones see the checks
being received each month by
their neighbors and friends who
are delivering milk.
To the farmers we will say this:
Secure all the literature you can on
the subject of dairy farming; study
it; do not hesitate TO ask questions
of the COURIER or any other news
paper; if we don't know, we will
find out from someone who does
know.
Keep your cows clean, keeI
yourself clean when handling milk
and keep your milk clean. The

Godliness were related. was wis,
