500 REWARD, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con-
stitutional disease, requires a constltu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing its
work. The prCprietors have so much
faith in its curative power that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list oil

that he often caused an engagement
by taking a snapshot at some ex-

had no superors for bravery and de-
votion 10 his cause He had no
oratorical aspirations. but his ready
wit and natural good humor always

MOVABLE SCHOOLS or AGRICULTURE
A New Work That is Highly Successful

Prof. 5. W Fletcher, OF the Agri-
culture College at Blacksburg has iii
ed a report Of the work done by the
sixteen movable schools OF Agricul-
ture held during January, February
and March Of the present year.
This work has been highly success
ful. We are all familiar with the
Farmers Institute train conducted
by our state Department OF Agricul-
ture. The Movable School differs
from the Farmers Institute in this
respect, that it remains longer in
the community visited. The people
usually meet1n a consolidated school
and the meetings continue for a
week There are short connected
lectures on such topics as fertilizers,
corn culture, leguminOus crops. etc.
These lectures are given by trained
professors from Blacksburg, and the
specimens and exhibits used in the
class rooms at the Agricultural Col
lege are brought along so that the
farmers may have the best kind OF
instruction.
Sixteen schools were held in as
many different sections OF the State.
The average daily attendance was
1913 while more than $500 farmers
the various meetings AT
ten Of the places where schools were
held, requests for another school
next winter have already been filed.
This work Is under the general
control of the United Agricultural
Board, created by the last General
Assembly. for the purpose Of wisely
directing the various lines of agricul
tural work being undertaken In the
State. This same united board Is
directing, in conjunction with the
L. S. Department Of Agriculture, the
Farmers Demonstration work In

A GOOD GAME
High School Team LOst-But Rich
Boys Had To Hustle.

The game Of baseball at Hanover
Park Saturday afternoon between
the Fredericksburg High School
and John Marshall High School, OF
Richmond, was exciting and inter
esting, though the score was one
sided, 9 to 3 in favor OF the visitors.
The attendance was much above the
average.
Several times had a good safe
hit been made by home team the
score would have been changed ma
terially, but the hit was not forth
coming.
The visitors were a heavier and
stronger team than the local one,
but they had no easy thing, having
to work hard to win.
Fredericksburg started off well,
scoring two runs in the first inning
by a base on balls, an error. q sacri-
flee hit, an out and a hit
The visitors eyened matters up
In the second inning by scoring two
runs on two bases on balls, a passed
ball and hit They added another
In the third. another In the fifth,
three in the sixth and two In the
eighth. while the best the home
team could do was to push one man
over in the eighth by hits by Gould
man and George Rowe.
Freeman was wild, giving six
bases on balls, two resulting Ia runs,
and striking out eight.
Gentry pitched steady ball, the
eighth being the only inning
In which he allowed two hits and he
struck out twelve.
The batting OF Montgomery for
Richmond, and the all-round play
ing OF Gouldman and Josiah Rowe
for the locals were features.
