stauntsn Male Academy,

A large crowd assembled on the parade
Monday afternoon last to witness the clos
ing military exercises Of Prof. kable s
school. The V. M. L. graduates held u
meeting in the Opera House during the
afternoon, and adjourned in 4 body to at .
tend the drill. dress parade, and review of
the Kable cadets. The v. M. /. boys ex
pressed great surprise at the perfect drill
the easy and accurate movements and SOL
diarly bearing of the kable boys. Many
of them are very young, and quite small.
Much of the material of the battalion is
new, having been in the corps only one
year. ''plebs" as the V. M. 1. boys call
them. There was. nevertheless, a general
expression of opinion that the movements,
drill. and soldierly bearing of the young
m an were as good az had ever been seen.
The drill masters. Capt. 7. T. Terry and
capt. J. Fl. Saunders, are both graduates
of the V, NJ. |. and they certainly have
proven themselves masters..of the art mil
itaire." The kindly social feeling existing
betweenthe boys and .theit instructors. was
very marked and could be traced in no lite
degree to the sdeep personal interest they
manifested inthe success of the boys. The
competitive drill was first between the
two companies in the manual of arms and
4 company movements. Company A was
commanded by cadet Captain B. r. Will
liams. of Virginia; Company B by cadet
Captain Jas. r. Rhea. of Texas. After a
splendidly executed drill, lasting about an
hour, the award was given to Company b,
but the committee had great difficulty in
making the award. Then followed the
individual drill in the manual of arms.
nine of the boys entering the list. The
award in this contest was made to cadet
r. NJ Booker, of Hampton. Va. The ex-
ercises. closed with the review and dress
parade under command of Capt. Terry.
Throughout the entire program it was a
highly creditable exhibition, and all who
witnessed it were delighted.
We had the pleasure of meeting on the
grounds gentleman from Arkansas, who
has had a daughter at Miss BaldWin's
school several years. He expressed his
surprise at finding SUCH superior male
school in Statunton, and said it was his
purpose to influence several boys from his
neighborhood to enter the Kable school at
Its NEXT session.
We are glad to be able to state that the
session just ended of this school. has been
most prosperous one. Capt. Kable is a
thorough EDUCATOR, fine diseiplinariap.
and a christian gentleman. who feels the
great responsibility of his position, ard
dischalg es. his duties with fidelity. The
school is thnrou ,h in its departments, the
boys are well trained. the Instructors are
faithful and compete nt. and the boys are
fully prepared and equipped to cutter the
business pursuits Of life. II deserves the
success it has achieved.

once more rested upon il, and she was
able to walk again without a limp. Or.
Hartman's unequal skill as an orthop-
edic surgeon was never more remark
ably exemph6ed than in this case.
And it may be remarked right here
that DIR. Hartman's success in the
strengthening of crooked limbs and
other bodily deiormities by means Of
these carefully measured and skillful-
ly constructed mechanical appliances,
each one of which is specially ordered
for each particular deformity, and
each one OF which can be applied and
manipulated by the patient himself
by means OF the doctors instructions,
is unequaled in the annals Of ortho-
pedic surgery. No other surgeon in
the country is his equal in this re-
spect.
To see her now, knowing her TO have
been on what she thought and what
all her family thought. would certainly
be her death bed, one would hardly
believe her to be the same person.
Certainly no one would think that she
had been at deaths very door, utterly
crippled, helpless and hopeless. She
declared to the reporter that she could
hardly believe it herself. To cap the
climax, Miss Jones has since married,
and is now a helpful and happy wife.
If more astonishing cure has ever
been effected medical annals fail to
record it.
