Lyncf1burg, Va. Jan. 2.--wSliie
Ann Miller, an aged colored woman,
who lived in Darlington and whose
mind had been giving away, was found
frozen TO death Sunday morning in
the garden In the rear of her home.
Evidently her death was the result
of the arrangement of the old WON
ar's mind. for instead OF going to bed
she went TO the garden In her night
clothing and there she was found
frozen stiff when relatives went TO
hunt for her.
II appears that the old woman re-
moved all her clothing as usual and
after donuing her nightgown. bundled
all Of the clothing she had just re-
moved from herself and. taking these
with her. going to the garden. she lay
down under some raspberry bushes.

The streets were filled with the crowds
that had been watching the parade
without hesitation four Of the scouts
stretched their ropes In front of the

held back and under control by the
time the engines arrived. The boys
were kept on duty until ! 80 in the
morning.
Twenty-six troops of boy scouts In

PAYING FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Have Always Been
Necessary Adjunct to State,
Community and Individual.

Good highways are and have always
BEEN necessary adjunct to the well
fare Of the state, community and indl-
vidual. The argument, Good roads
cost lots of money" may In reality be
true when figured in dollars and miles,
but Is incorrect when considered In
reality. Good roads must be paid for.
but they are paid for whether they are
built or not. The wear and breakage
on teams, harness and vehicles, and
the increased cost OF hauling on poor
roads Is costing the grower far more
than the price of building and keeping
In repair the very best roads. He Is
actually paying for the roads without
getting them; and, besides, is put to
much inconvenience and worry.
In short, good roads cost nothing.
