Fevers and Other Frustrating Diseases
That Exhaust the Blood,

There is often that extreme tired feel

Hoods Sarsaparilla first works upon
the blood. Ii is remarkable how prompt

WHAT PRESCOTT HAS LOST BY NOT HAVING PAVED STREETS Journal Miner, 2-S-'2O
 BY MARGARET HILL
Winner of the Second Prize.


 Prescott has lost much by not nav ing paved streets, but 1t would be inn possible to put that loss down in exact dollars or cents. However. l shall try to explain about some of these losses.
 First, there is the loss of money to the city Almost every day there are men working on the city streets. Tn dry weather the streets are dusty, they must be sprinkled, and of course the man doing this must be paid out of the city treasury It may not be much for one day, but it soon amounts up.
 Often the streets get bumpy, espe- cially in the downtown district. It is not a bit pleasant to ride down them even in the easiest riding car. The city must get out the big roller, hire the men and have the streets rolled. Even after this they are not very smooth
 Again, when the ruts get very bad they have to be filled up with sand and clay. This sand must be hauled from somewhere outside the city linn it's. and if they have to cover almost the whole street with sand. which they sometimes do, it takes many loads and many men to do it. After this Of course. the streets must be rolled again.

 Yea, even you, dear reader, have passed over 'Sfools' hill." Now fools hill'' is not the worst obstacle we meet in life, but it is hard according as we make it. Nevertheless it is encountered in that wonderful freshman yeac when every freshman comes snealSng into the assembly hall, hat in hand, pale of face. the old summer. swimming pool reflecting from his freckles and sun burned face. His coat sleeves come just. below his elbows, and his feet are always in his own way, and when spoken to his voice steadily climbs to unknown heights, suddenly falling to a deep base. At this time the horror of the dreadful sophomore is unpar- ralleled.
 A bell rings: his doom is sealed For many, long drawn out minutes, va rious persons. usually principals and teachers, outline the terrible fates awaiting. all of which is but slightly recorded on the mind of the freshman.
 And so we follow the wanderer over fools hi1l-. If he be of a moody na- ture. the noble sophomore will en- deavor to give him enough to be moody about. If he is too smart to associate with his humble classmates. he must nevertheless admire in awe the intellect of the mighty senior.

 Piracy and brigandage, which used to furnish thrilling adventures, are now out of fashion, and are no longer followed, as they used to be, by the best people. War and love, two other traditionally romantic phases of life, have both been rendered ' absolutely prosaic- War is altogether a matter or engineering, and love a matter of finance.
 But science is still an adventure It still has realms to discover-great un- known before it-and that is the es- sence of adventure

by towering mountains. enclosed by
n rough board fence, dilapidated by
wind and rain, THE Graveyard Of
Ira gedy" is located near Rileyville,
this county. ten miles north of Lu-
ray, in Springfield district.
In point of years the graveyard is
not old, but 1t contains more bodies
of men who have been victims of
tragic deaths than any similar en-
closure in Virginia.
Among those buried here are
Bud" Nichols, stabbed to death at
an oldtime country butter boiling"
Samuel Nichols. his brother. killed
by railroad train: John Jewell, run
over by Norfolk and Western rail-
way train; John Rickard. blown to
atoms by the explosion of a saw
mill engine in the wilds of the Blue
killed in the same explosion. In ad-
dition to this it Is said that there
are a number of others buried in the
same lonely spot that have met
deaths equally as tragic.
This graveyard is overGrown by
tall weeds and is located near a
mountain gorge. with gigantic
pines towering 100 feet in the air,
continually signing requiem.
Even in the summers longest days
not more than an hour of sunshine
reaches the burial ground, where
jack rabbits and wildcats hold high
carnival.
