favorite horse.
AT the base Of the monument will
be a group, the work OF Artist Slew
ers, which depicts the followers OF
the lost cause in the closing days OF
the struggle. In the center is seat
ed young cavalry officer, carrying
the flag OF the State, on which is a
seal of the Old Dominion. Strew q
on the ground are the remnants of
cannon and the broken wheels. To

leryman is shown in action at close

States Exhibit Awarded Prize il
Washington

Health Commissioner Williams
has just received notice that the
exhibit sent by the Board of Health
TO the recent international Congress
of Hygiene and Demography re-
ceived the approval OF the distin-
guished judges and was awarded a
certi6 cate of merit.
State health officers are much
pleased at this announcement, as
the Virginia exhibit was of char
acter not calculated to attract atten-
ton in the vast array of exhibits in
Washington. Where other States
and cities portrayed graphically
and at great expense tie various
aspects OF their work, the State
Board of Health sent only small
exhibit of the literature it uses il
preac hing the gospel OF good heaitl
in Virginia. Its rural santa
ton" literature, the matter used il
acquainting the people with the neV
vital statistics law and the variou
publications on communicable dis
eases constituted the States dis
play. But the Board of Health feel
greatly complimented at the after
ton and distinction given its exhit
, it by the committee on awards, CON
posed SIS that committee was of tn
leading sanitarians of the country.
