Tribute to Memory of R. w. Jones.
From the Farmville (Va.) Herald
of Sept. II we quote the following
tribute to the memory of R. w.
Jones. who died at Richmond Aug.
81. Mr.. Jones was well and favor
ably known in this community, hav-
ing been employed for some ten or
twelve years on Cleryille HimeIs

R. w. Jones passed away. He had
been suffering with a severe illness

Mecklenburg, near Boydton, and liv-

To Reproduce Battle of chalmette.
The roar of cannon, the rattle of
musketry and the crack Of rifles
again will be heard on the historic
plain of Chalmette Jan. s, 1915. The
British columns Of red coats, under
Gen. Pakenham, again will march
in solid, precise formations against
the crude mud earthWorks thrown up
by the motley collection Of ragged
defenders under Gen. Jackson, only
to be ruthlessly moved down by the
uner1ing rifles of the keen-eyed
Tennessee and Kentucky hunters and
the charges of grape from the cannon
manned by Lafitte's pirate crew.
The mimic battle to be fought will
be the principal attraction of the
coming Hundred Years of Peace
celebration, and the Louisiana His
torical Society and T. P. Thompson,
head Of the Louisiana State Museum,
who have been given exclusive
charge of the celebration, are fast
working out all the plans incident to
the pageant that is expected to at
tract visitors from all over the Unit
ed States next WINTER
To properly recognize the part Ten
nessee and Kentucky took in the
defense of the city, it has been de-
cided that the national guard Of
these two states be brought here to
join with the Louisiana troops in the
reproduction OF the battle, taking
their place in line where Carroll 6
and Coffee's heroes stood when the
red-coats were beaten back. Missis-
sippi troops also will be invited; they
will inpersonate Kinds dragons.
The battle will be reproduced cor
rectly in every detail On the very
battle ground exactly 100 years later
The series of dramatic incidents that
preceded and followed this notable
conflict also will be reproduced that
posterity may see just what took
place. Motion pictures will be taken
Of the whole pageant, and arrange
ments are under way to handle the
production on d lavish scale. The
scenario is being written by Stanley
CGsby Arthur, who has been appoint
ed by the historical society as chair

ROAD BOND ELECTION
MAY STILL Be HELD
County Board Considering
Placing Matter Before the
Voters on February 19.

It is suggested that the board Of
county commissioners reconsider its nc
tion postponing indefinitely the pro-
posed million~dollar road bond election
and order the election held on Febru-
AIRY IS, on the same date as the city
Improvement bond election is TO be held.
Under the law notice of four weeks
is required before the bond election is
10 be held. County Commissioner Oscar
w. Carlson. chairman Of the board, said
last night that il tho county commits
sioners at tomorrow session should de.
eide TO hold the road bond election on
February IS, the decision would be
legal as there would remain four weeks
as the period III which the notice Of the
election should be given in conformity
with the statutory requirements.
The county commissioners had de-
cidcd, in view of the approaching city
bond election, TO postpone the county
road bond election indefinitely How
ever. it is being pointed out by mem
bers of the good roads committee of the
Commercial club and Others that by
holding the two elections at the same
time a great amount of expense could
be saved. In this city one ballot might
he used with both questions set forth
while outside of the city limits the bal
loting would be only on the road bonds
1t is thought that the commissioners
may view the matter IN the same light
and rescind their former action, post
poning the election.
