veal an interesting relic-a gold sword

made his home in later years. He en-
tered the Revolutionary army when he

NOTED to captain for bravery.

of his promotion carved on the handle.
At his death. November 23. 1894, the
sword was placed in his casket with

together. The sword will probably be
sent to the National Museum.
At the close of the revolutionary war
Capt. Mills entered politics and he was
the first representative in the Virginia
legislature from Ohio county. He re-
manned i'm politics for about five year.
and then retired to his farm, where liza

eral years to have the bodies removed [,
Wheeling cemetery and have a memo-
rial erected, but there had been no active
part taken in the matter until few
days ago. when he announced that tho

Little attention paid to the graves
until a few years ago. when the Daugh-
terS of the Revolution placed a small
fence around them and had the markers
cleaned and restored. The farm on which
the Mills couple are buried is near the
historic Mont de Chantal Academy.

TO PROVIDE ARMY HORSES.
Gen. Ayrshire Asks Cooperation
Between Government and Farmers

Cooperation between the government
and the farmers of the country in breed
ing and raising horses suitable for the
cavalry and artillery branches of the
military service was asked for yesterday
by Quartermaster General Ayrshire of
the army and officials of the Agricultural
Department before the House committee
ON agriculture.
1t Is proposed to establish system
whereby the government shall cooperate
with individual farmers toward breeding
horses of a definite standard. General
Ayrshire said that the decline of the
saddle and race horse industry has had
great effect in creating a scarcity of the
lighter army horses. The government is
unable to secure 1000 horses q year of
the required standard.

Work Done Last Year.

Ten human beings at least were saved
from the scourge during the past season
by the efforts of the doctors and nurses
at the day camp, and the progress of the
disease was stayed i'll more than dozen
additional cases.
Few folks except those most interested
are aware of the splendid results achiev-
ed with the proceeds of the sale of the
little Red Cross Christmas seals last
year, it is explained.
If the people will only give their mod
crate support. say the women engaged in
the sale of the :eals, "a cent for every
seal and d seal upon everything sent dur
ing the Christmas holidays" VIII furnish
the necessary funds and enable the Red
Cross people to wage successful con-

times.
Those who have not yet given their
help by the purchase of some of the
seals, it is urged, should do so now.
