CLEAN UP NOW.
PREVENT ILLNESS
Farmers and Others Urged to
Look After Wells and Out
buildings This Month.

Richmond, Mar. 13. Special. Far
mers who wish to prevent flies and
typhoid fever later in the year will
take. time by the forelock and begin
a general "cleaning-up' this month,
If they follow the advice given by the
Health Department in special bull
etin issued today. March and April
are declared to be the months when n
few days labor will prevent much
future sickness. and farmers are urged
totake advantage of their idle NOM
ents to repair their wells and out.
buildings.
The bulletin says: "Much of the
typhoid fever in the rural sections of
Virginia and in the small towns can
be traced in insanitary wells, to pol
luted water supplies and to the act
ivities of.fiies. If buildings be
made sanitary. if the domestic water
supply be protected and If the breed
ing of flies is prevented as far as
possible. much of the danger from
typhoid fever is avoided in advance.
Every farmer and every resident
in towns without water and sewerage
systems should spend few days dur
ing the spring in securing himself
safe well or spring and sanitary out
buildings. No well is safe which ia
not so arranged that no surface filth
or waste can get to the water; and
out-buildings are grave source of
danger unless they are so arranged
that flies will not have access to
them. The State Health Department
issues bulletins on sanitary wells and
furnishes plans for sanitary outbuild-
ings. These will be sent free upon
request. and both should be in the
hands of every farmer in the State.
alt is likewise very important,
the bulletin concludes, "that the
barnyard, stables and chicken houses
be cleaned at this season of the year
and kept clean during the warm mon
tbs. Flies will begin to breed in
these places as soon as warm weather
returns and will soon appear in such
as to constitute a positive
nuisance. Proper precautions ut this
time will prevent much trouble dur
ing the summer.

Minority Lost a Chance
(Editorial.)

The papers report Senator Royall's
speech on the Enabling Act as "a
warm one, we'll timed and in excel
lent taste" He declared that the
majority party will be held respcns-
ible for the defeat of the measure by
its constituents; that the Senators
tailed to do what the people desired,
ana that next time "they will send
men who will respond to their desi-
res" 1t is fact. however, that had
the Republican Senators, Catron,
Parr, Snowder and Paul vo,ed for the
measure it would have carried. In
this case the presiding officer wou Id
have had the deciding vote, which
would have been "dry."

200 More Subscribers

The bargain offer of this paper six
months for 30 cents, which closed
last Saturday, and which was tried as
an experiment, was success. Of
course not much was expected, as the
offer ran only two or three weeks, and
as it happened, during the worst
weather of the year. Something like
two hundred new names were added
to the subscription list, chiefly in this
county. This means that the paper
will be read each week now by at
least one thousand more people than
heretofore. The prize of set of nice
breakfast china offered for the largest
list sent in during the closing week
was won by Mrs. w. B. Steele, of
Pounding Mill, whose final list num-
bered 81. Miss Minnie Lee Davis.

The editor is grateful to his many
friends, and will do his best to make
the paper better and better, as the

would have had to walk nearly n mile
to reach the river. The theory held
now is that she is in hiding some

PASSING OF A
WELL KNOWN MAN
John Peery, a Pioneer Citi
zen, Dies at Advanced Age
at Home Near Maxwell.

John Peery, one of the Oldest citi-
zens of the county, died at his home
last Sunday, near Maxwell The fun
eral and burial took place on Monday
afternoon. Rev. Mr.. Wiley conducted
the funeral services at the house.
The burial ceremonies were condcuted
by the Masons. Four daughters and
one son survive, viz: Mrs. w. T.
Baker, Norfolk; Mrs. John w. Daily,
Mrs. Capitola Crockett, Mrs. j. w.
Whitley of this county, and MIR.
Raleigh j. Peery, of Norfolk, all of
whom, with number of grand. chill
dr"n, were present at the funeral.
Mr.. Peery was one of the best
known men of this county. His life
has been spent here, and he lived and
died near the old home where he was
born. His age was given at the fu-
neral as 70 years. Mr.. Elgin Whit
ley, who is 80, thinks this mistake,
and taht Mr.. Peery was about 83
years old. He, MIR. Whitley, was a
young man, about FL years of age
when Mr.. Peery was married at the
age of about % ana was present at
the wedding. By this reckoning, says
Mr.. Whitley, deceased was about SO
years of age. ranking him as one of
the oldest men of the county. His
father was James Peery; his mother
daughter of the late Matthias Har-
man. His wife was Nancy j. RAIDER,
sister to VIM. RAIDER, now of Mis-
souri,, to whom he was married in
1854.
Mr.. Peery was the last of his i'm
mediate family. He was at one time
"a resident of this town, and enjoyed
the respect and confidence of all who
knew him. For many years he was
prominent in Masonic circles, and
consistent member of the Methodist
church. Owing to advancing years and
declining health he had been seen
only occasionally on the street and in
public. Up to short time ago he
was comparatively hale and strong.
A stroke of paralysis a short time
ago fastened the end. which came
peacefully last Sunday morning, when
the old pilgrim completed his long
march from the cradle to the grave.
