Dr. Dill, pastor of th? Baptta
Church, in this place, at the nrvic<
Sunday morning, presented the claim
of Richmond College, and stafeil tha
new buildings were tKBcefcary to ac
ooiumodate,the large iinroaM- of stic
?tents. It was proposed to erect i
dormitory, and honor the memory ol
Borne of the Haptist fathers, of the past
aud present, by naming for each i
room in the new building. He greatly
desired to have one of the rooms tc
bear th? name of Dr. Thomas S. Dana
way, who for so many years was the
faithful ami beloved pastor of the Fred
encksburg Church He thought it
would be a handsome thing on the part
of the church, to raise the amout neces?
sary for such a room, which would be
$."?00. At the cl'ise of the addregs. Dr
Dill took a collection for that purpose,
and the sum of t-?-"> was raised. It
will be a very easy matter to secure
the balance needed, and we may, there?
fore, say that th i Thomas S Dunaway
room at Richmoud College is an assured
thing.

Vertid of the Beet i ourt
Washington, April 90.?The military
court of inquiry, investigating (?en
Miles'charges against the t?eef Mupplied
to the array during the war with Spain,
concluded its work Saturday.
The verdict of the court is that the
allegations which Con Miles made are
not sustained with reference to th?? re.
frigerated beef. There is direct criti?
cism of Gen. Miles for failing to
promptly bring to the attention of the
War Department the reports made to
him concerning bad beef.
The oourt finds the testimony conclu?
sive that both refrigerated beef and
oinned beef were in good condition
when delivered to the government and
continaed so until issued to troops, ex?
cept in special instances, where deter
i-ration was due to aociilontal condi
tions in transportation or to InflnunOM
of the tropical climate.

In fad we are here! With the
HARVESTERS and MOWERS loi ? season ol 1888.
The recognized perfect Machine tor Wheat and Hay Grow?
There are other machines in the market, but there is but one McCormick
Machine, and that is the best made or ?'?old.
We want every farmer interested in saving their whoator hay crop to in?
vestigate the advantages of these celebrated machines and do "themselves
justice in getting a McCormicV- Harvester or Mower for 1899, for while the
machines are the best made, the prices and terms are always satisfactory to
buyer.;. There is no disputing the fact that we sold more " McCormick" ma?
chines last year to the farmers in the surrounding counties than were sold of
all other makes combined. This is a startling fact, and there is a reason for
it, it is the best and most satisfactory machine made or sold.
We refei lo the following farmers who bought McCormick Machines lasl season and
who aw thoroughly |>? ? ? -i-- <l in every respect :
