Colonel John AV. Richardson, Register
of tbe Land Oflioo and Superintendent
of the Capitol Grounds and Buildings,
is putting the Capitol Square In nice
shape. He has had the walkways re
paved and the baro spots in the Square
resodded with live, new grass. The
grass is getting a pretty start, and the
light showers of the last taw days are
giving it a ?fresh, green appearance.
There is some talk of removing the
old iron fence and planting boxwood
, Instead around the Square. The box?
wood would, of course, be planted and
given a good start before the removal
of the fence, should that course be de?
cided upon.
Colonel Richardson has been warmly
commended upon his splendid care of
the Square, and indeed all the property
of the State under his supervision.

Exhaustion of Nerve Force Is
Common in Springtime.
Paine'sCeleryComponnd
Banishes
Nervous Prostration, Hysteria,
and Sleeplessness.
Any Intelligent man or woman can
easily detect victims of nervous troubles
by taking a ten-minute walk on any of
the crowded streets of our cities or
towns. The observer will note counte?
nances full o? feverish anxiety, harassed
lo?les, unsteady hands, faltering steps,
twitching? muscles, pallid iacee and
startled, anxious looks when unusual
noises are made. Such people are, with?
out doubt, victims of nervous prostration,
hysteria, or insomnia. The wlhole sys?
tem suffers?the brain, the spinal cord
and the sympathetic system.
It is unnecessary to dilate minutely on
the ?causes of nervousness. Business
cares and disappointments, haste after
riches and honors, social and ..ousehold
worries, sexual and alcoholic excesses,
watching and anxiety, and loss of near
and dear ones, all contribute to the
breaking down of the nervous organism
of men and women.
In earnest -words wa set before this
afflicted class the truth that Paine's Cel?
ery Compound affords a speedy and sure
cure for all forms of nervous diseases.
Tho great medicine is a perfect restorer
of nerve force and power; a sure bunder
and strengthener of the weak and de
bilitatc?d system.
Paine's Celery Compound has enabled
thousands in every city and town of our
land to renew and invigorate their heaiui
and keep their places in business and in
society. In all large centers where nerv?
ous diseases are common, the best phy?
sicians prescribe Paine's Celery Com?
pound with continued auocess.
A few bottles of nature's health re?
storer used during the mentii of May,
will eomplete?y banish all nervous disor?
ders, by giving new nerve force, purer
blood, belter digestion, normal appetite
and refreshing sleep. In a word, Paine's
Celery Compound will give you the full

WAS DOING HIM.
The "Hold Up" Man, Coffee.
Few people know how many persons
are made sick and kept sick by coffee
drinking. A trained nurse relates" her ex- ?
perienc-e with a number of different per?
sons. She says: "Quite a long time ago I
discovered that coffee. was the cause of
the violent palpitation of my heart and
frequent sick headaches and attacks of
Indigestion, so I quit coffee and went
onto hot water, not knowing then of
Postum Food Coffee.
"Quite a while after I quit coffee my
husband - began to complain of cbffee
coming tip iu his mouth more or less
during the forenoon, and it made it very
disagreeable for him. One day I said,
'Suppose we try that Postum Food Cof?
fee which is advertised so much.' So we
did and I prepared It according to direc?
tions. The beverage proved delicious
and we liked it_so much and it agreed
with us so well we have used it for over
two years now.
"My palpitation of the heart, headaches
and indigestion have gone altogether. It
is very easy to make by boiling 15 or 20
minutes with a small piece of butter put
in the pot to prevent its boiling over.
*,*M>* cousin, who is a telegraph opera?
tor, had nervous dyspepsia, having to
stay from work every few days. He gave
up the. use of1 coffee and commenced
using Postum, and since that time he has
not been troubled with dyspepsia.
"One woman told mo she had suffered
with indigestion for three years. She
drank nothing but tea. I made Postum
for her and showed her how to make
it. She liked it and now uses it in
her family regularly and is well and
ha ppy.
"I could name a dozen or more similar
cases." M. N. Clark, 322 Ogden Avenue,

LABOR BECOMING
ASERI?OS ITEM
Farmers Take Children from
School and Put Them to Work.
IMPERIALMEN COMING HERE
Remarkable Sales on the Market Yes?
terday?Said That Imperial People
Are on Their Way Here to Con?
sult About Manufactories.
A question of prominent interest Just
? cw in the tobacco world of Virginia is
lhat of securing sufficient labor for the
handling of the next crop. Hands are
ha id to find and come so high when they
are finally gotten that It looks as though
what might have been a big crop will be
cr<?mped and held back from sheer want
of somebody to work it- AVriting to Mr.
"vV. E. Dibrell, of this city, Mr. N. AV.
Winston, probably the largest planter in
Louisa county, says in this connection:
"Our plants are late, but dry wind was
hurtful to them. I will plant this year
five to six acres only. I usually raise
from eighteen to twenty-two thousand
poi.nds. Toba-cco Is high enough, and yet
we must spend so much for labor that
is totally unreliable or unprocurable that
I must reduce my crop accordingly to
six thousand pounds, In place of twenty
thousand or more pounds.
'?Mr. E. E. Walsh, the next largest
sun-cured tobacco planter, raising here?
tofore twenty thousand pounds, will
make a like reduction. He had about
five acres last year. AVe know what re?
sults are promised from present fine
prices. A\re must, however, confine our?
selves to . surrounding conditions. AVe
must take children from school to work,
r.tia do less or make a failure."
Ait ?Crenshawls AA'arehonse yesterday
one of the most remarkable sales ever
known here was held. Several old to?
bacco men declared at its conclusion
that they had never seen such prices in
their life before. .
Tho tobacco which brought the sensa?
tional prices was owned by AA'illiam John?
son, a colored farmer of Hanover coun?
ty, and amounted in all to about 2,000
pounds. No pile brought less than ?lo.
Tue highest prioe received on the lot was
$40 per hundred pounds, the highest for
...lis season and several others. Between
the two extremes were several p'les
which brought ?24, $25. $36 and other fine
prices. Coupled with what he had sold
before of the crop, Johnson made a snug
sum out. of his year s work.
The tobacco was a fine sun-cured
grade, the kind that is very scarce now.
The great success of the planter is re?
garded by tobacco men as a strong ar?
gument in favor of the oft-repeated
statement that farmers could do better
by raising only good tobacco.
The sales on- 'Change were also of a
high order. The amount of tobacco of
fi'.ed, while more.' than usual, was not
so very large, but the prices were ex?
ceedingly high.
Dickinson & Shelburne, proprietors of
Shelburne's AAraiv-house, sold fifty-two
packages at an average of $17. The high?
est price received-was $28. On Tuesday
the same firm sold forty-nine packages;
highest price, $33; average. $18.04.
It is understood that several gentlemen
representing the Imperial Tobacco Com?
pany of Great Britain are on their way
to this country to confer with the repre?
sentatives here in regard to establishing
tobacco manufactories in this country.
They sailed from England a day or two
ago.
This movement on the part of the Im?
perial is one of vast significance and will
be watched with the ^eenest interest. It
appears from the report that the belief
here that the company would not ven?
ture yet to manufacture here is a little
off.
A special called meeting of the Rich?
mond Tobacco Trade was held yes?
terday at noon. The by-laws were
changed making it obligatory upon
every member of the Trade to accept
the decisions of the Arbitration Commit?
tee as final. There has been considerable
dispute over this matter and the action
of the Trade was taken with a view to
settling the question.
The Trade unanimously endorsed Mr.
E. S. Goodman, of the Chamber of Com?
merce, for membership on the Corpora?
tion Commission provided for in the
new Constitution.
Mr. W. D. Judkins, one of the directors
of the Universal Tobacco Company, has

Pipe Line for Knox Well.
The oil product of the Knox county,

The Knox Lubricating Oil and Refining
Company was organized last week at
B?rbotirsville, ??., with a capital of
$2.000.000 and financed by well known bus?

the Rosebud's, the Virginia Conference
paid to foreign missions last year $21,
671.52, leaving a deficit of ?1,225US on its
assessments. That is, the Virginia Con?
ference paid 04 6-10 per cent, of its assess?
ment to foreign missions. According to
per cent, of assessment paid, it stands as
the eighth Conference In the whole con?
nection; according to amount paid per
member (23.4 cents), it stands as the
third Conference east of the Mississippi;
and according to the total amount given
to foreign missions last year, it leads all
the Conferences in Southern Methodism."

PREACHERS KEEP
PEOPLE AWAY
Writer in the Christian Advocate
is Against Long Sermons and
Protracted Services.
.Taking as his text a recent statement
made at a meeting of the Ministerial
Union of Richmond, to the effect that the
worklngmen of this city do. not attend
church services as they used to do, a
writer in the Christian Advocate this
week, signing himself "Layman," makes
some reflections ln which he puts the
blame' for this state of affairs partly
upon the preachers themselves. Hc
takes a decided stand against protracted
services and long sermons.
After declaring that the non-attend?
ance of church by the masses is not
due altogether to the hard woik done
during the week, and that Sunday excur?
sions. Sunday saloons and Sunday news?
papers, particularly, should be stopped,
"Layman" continues as follows:
"And now let me give my own com?
plaint against the church. First and
most important to me is the iong serv?
ice. Sunday is my day, not only fot
worship, but for rest. I long for the quiet
hour of the Sabbath, but because I am
a city Methodist I seldom get II. 1 start
at 0 o'clock for the Sabbath-school, stay
to preaching, then return home seldom
before 1 o'clock. My wife and children
are tired" out. My children complain.
My wife has had to rush through her
morning work to get to church on time,
and on return must rush around again
to get a lato dinner. We somotim.;s wish
wo had stayed away and enjoyed a quiet
holy Sabbath at home. Yes, we do. On
communion Sunday our preacher gener?
ally preaches longer, then receives
members, baptizes, etc., and we are held
in churoh until nearly 3, very frequent?
ly. Our communion Sundays have drift?
ed from holy, sweet and peaceful occa?
sions to days of positive dread. My
children beg to be allowed to stay home
on communion Sunday. ' Oh, for those
sweet and hallowed days of old, when
the minister would give us a short ex?
hortation, and then give us ample time,
for this most blessed and sacred serv?
ice."
In conclusion the writer In the Advo?
cate declares that he is constrained to
believe that this long-protracted service
in city churches is one of the greatest
hindrances to male attendance. "A man
of family," he says, "loves his home, and
when he leaves it for four hours in the
morning and two at night, besides fre?
quently afternoon meetings, he feels that
he has lost rather than gained the bless?
ings of the Sabbath."

BEAT HUSBAND'S COMPANION
Wife Finds Her Spouse With Another
Woman and Assaults Her.
While a man and woman were seated
on a bench in Lihby Hill Park Tuesday
morning engaged in conservation, an?
other woman came up and belabored the
first woman over the head and shoulders
with an umbrella.
The umbrella was badly broken and
so was the attacked party's hat. The
man ran toward Main Street, but before
he had gone far he was confronted by
another man, who detained him until the
angry woman with the broken umbrella
came up.
Policeman Robinson came upen the
scene, too, and he learned that the wo?
man with the umbrella was the man's
wife and the second man was her
brother. An argument was held, and
the woman and her ?brother left,' rwith
the remark that divorce proceedings
would be instituted. The attacked party
remained in the park some .time, and
then went her way.

public men and aspirants for office, and
which will probably figure Conspicuously
in future elections. ,
The League is gradually getting into
communication with every temperance
man In the State and before long will
have them all thonAghly organized.
When an election is held these men and
voters will.have placed beiore them the
records saved up in the "Book" and thoy
will act accordingly. The League will not
put up a ticket or anytn.ng of that sort.
It will merely, so far as it is able, expose
the past actions of each candidate anci
leave the rest to the voters.
If the record is clean and the man is
in line with the anti-saloon people, the
temperance voters will support hfm. if
not, Uhey will w-ork against him. In this
way the League expects to exert a pow?
erful influence.

that ooze out through the glands and pores of the skin, producing an inde?
