ID same in excellent condition

The following are reported as having no
entries: w. I. Brown and J. B. Dodgen.
We find the Court House in exceIen,
condition, except as to the closet in the
basement, which we find to bevery unclean.
We recommend that if the janitor cannot
give sufficient of his time to keep this
closet in more sanitary condition while
the Court is in session, that the Board of
Commissioners employ extra help for this
purpose, at such times. We also recon-
mend that at such times, a light, or lights,
be kept burning at the foot of the stairs
leading to this basement. We also recon-
mend that an additional urinal be put in
the toilet room.
We recommend that a new road be open
ed from the underpass opposite Mr.. Manners
to Collins Switch on the west side of the
Trolley road as planned by the County
Commissioners, the present road under the
underpass to be kept up in as good condi-
ton as any other part of the road.
We recommend that the County Commits
sioners purchase an Adding Machine to be
used in the Tax Collectors office. Also
that they supply much larger table for the
Grand Jury room.
The many cases of law-breaking which
it has been the duty of this body to investi-
gate we are glad to say are light ofenses,
which gives us an optimistic view as TO the
prevalence of crime in the County. Espe-
cially do we hope that this is true in what
| is Justly termed the Divorce Evil, which we
consider as next in importance to the Liquor
Evil. From the lax laws, and a liberal
construction Of them, parties rush to Court
with trivial Misunderstanding and securing
divorces, which, when granted, aleuates
the parties without possibility of reconcilia-
ton. Children grow up without paternal
restraint and respect for authority necessary
to mould their characters for the duties and
oblig atoms of good citizenship, with the re-
suit that we have a constant increasing
number who have no respect for the law OF
the Courts. To this no doabt is partly due
the spirit of lawlessness so preyelant in the
land, and which, whether justly or unustly,
is so often charged against our Southland.
Therefore, it is that we congratulate the
commonwealth of Virginia in the recen,
instance OF the prompt execution of the
judgment of the Court, also our own Stat.

a series of calamities befell him. Soon
after Philips marriage to pretty Lu-
ellie Girard, his father failed in bust
ness and died within a month there
after, leaving nothing but a mass Of
debts as legacy to his son.
Philip, who had just been taken into
partnership with his father, and whose
outlook on the future was tinged with
the color of the rose, was crushed by
this blow; but with a quixotic sense
of duty he set himself the tremendous
task of paying off the debts of the
firm. To accomplish this he had moth
ing to depend upon but the sale of his
pictures; yet, year in and year out,
he toiled on stubbornly and uncom-
plainingly, while he and Lucille and

Five-year-old Ella had been enthu-

Hea,s,roke and sunstroks.

Heatstroke and sunstroke are terms usnally applied indifferently to either of two quite distinct conditions, to each of which only one of the names properly applies. Heatstreke, as its name implies. is condition caused by the action of excessive heat. either the torrid heat of summer or the artificial heat of a foundry. a furnace. the stoke hole of steamship etc It occurs with almost as great frequency at night as in the day, and its victims may be overcome on cloudy day or without having yentured from their homes. The other form. properly call ed sunstroke, is due to the direct ac- ton of the sun-probably of its ultra violet or chemical rays rather than of it's heat rays Only those who have been long exposed to the direct rays of the sun. such as soldiers on the march. harvesters. ball players, etc, are the subjects of true sunstroke.-pr.

The Swedish collector touches flowers af fectionately as he walks through his greenhouse and insists they have q language for those who understand. He points to flower with dropping head and says it is calling for water. In different ways, he explains, flowers ask for light warmth, sunshine, and when satisfied the flowers lift up their heads buoyantly and express the pure joy of being Karlstrom advises the study of flowers through magnify ing glasses. saying their beauty Is not half appreciated otherwise.
