Ample arrangements have been perfected
with the different railroad companies in
the State by which those desiring TO at.
tend the Institute may secure transporta-
ton at reduced rates. The State Superin-
tendent Of Public instruction will furnish
County superintendent with orders for
tickets at the reduced rate, and these
orders Will be supplied to teachers and
other applicants.
Good board can be obtained at prices
ranging from $3.50 to $500 per week, or
So to SIS per month As an inducement
to secure the prompt attendance Of teach
ers at the opening of the session, those ap-
plying first will have the preference of
boarding houses. 1t may be safely stated
however that all will be pleasantly located
and at economical rates.
Teachers will be met at the depots upon
the arrival Of trains, and conducted at
once to the places assigned them, thus
avoiding confusion and delay.
Staunton has population of some Il, 900
and is admirably located for the purposes
of 4 Summer Normal. 1t is situated at
the intersection of the G.. Sc O. and the
Valley railroads, running east and west,
and north and south, respectively, thus
atfording ample facilities for reaching it.
The climate is delightful the atmosphere
dry and celebrating the scenery of both
mountain and valley extended and pictu
rescue, and the society refined and intelli-
gent. The visitors to the Normal will be
cordially welcomed, and no effort will be
spared to make their sojourn pleasant and
profitable. Excursion tickets at reduced
rates will enable those who desire to visit
Natural Bridge, Luray Caverns, Weyer's
Gave, and Cave of the Fountains, to do so
at small cost, as they are all within easy
reach. The excellent iveries of the city
will afford ample facilities to parties de-
string to spend day in the mountains |
either at Stribling Springs or any of the
other pleasant summer resorts in the vi |
Unity. That celebrated wonder of nature, |

yisit.
1t is earnestly hoped that every teacher
Il the State and persons who desire to be-
come teachers will attend. Those partic-
pating in the Normal will be selected in
preference to other competitors for situa-
ions.
1t is especially desirable that all who
propose being present will send in their
lanes at once.

THE STOCK SALES. by E. NJ. Gushing &

twenty odd cattle and number of horses
were sold at good prices. These sales will
continue at regular monthly intervals,

will stimulate more sales. and thus prove
of great advantage to our farmers and

A large oat crop has also been sown.-
