Hampden-sldney and the Herald.

Some explanation should be made
of the fact that the Herald of last
week contained no mention of the
opening of the 135th session OF
Hampden-Sidney. That it was event
of genuine local and general in
terest can not be denied, and no one
regrets the omission more than does
the management of the paper.
During the week the editor was
absent attending to matters of press
ing Importance, and no other mem
ber of the staff could leave the post
of duty. What the Herald needs
and what it has asked for is live
correspondent at Hampden-Sidney.
Give us the facts and we will give
them to our readers. That the peo-
ple of this section are interested in
all that concerns the venerable in
stitution need not be said. Let
President Graham secure the SER

THE SANIT0RIUM
Committee MAKES REPORT.
Now For Perfected Organiza-
ton.

There was a meeting of the Exc
cutive Committee of the Board OF
Trade. which was held in the Of
fices of Messrs Garland, Martin
& Blanton on Monday evening last
and Dr. Irwin as chairman read an
elaborate and able report on the
general subject of a sanitorium for
Farmville.
The committee suggested the pur-
chase of the Whitworth plant and
enlarge it so as to accommodate %
patients. The cost of the complet-
ed structure is estimated to be
some $4,000, and with an average
of 4 patients at S15 a week would
be self supporting, and with eight
patients would pay good profit on
the investment.
1t is up to Farmville to say
whether or not such institution IS
needed, and if so to put up the
money. 1t is a subject worthy OF
serious consideration.
