from what he saw of the institution
ana from his conversation with Presi-
dent Lee, he was con nviuced that there
was no doubt OF the college being n
success. 1t had been seriously ham
pered in the past by opposition in the
State and it's operations had in late
years been pinched by small appro-
priations. Last year, however, the
appropriation had been liberal enough
to put the college on botter footing
than ever before. Another serions
drawback had been destruction bv fire
OF number Of the college buildings a
year ago. The barns and stables were
burned, which had necessit ated the
sale of number of the cattle and the
temporary limitation of some of the
practical farm operations included in

ment, have negro sheriifs, Justices
school trustees and other county officers
The white man stays in the "Black
Belt because he cannot get away--the
negro because he is boss and likes the
position. What this section Of Virginia
needs is select immigration-about two
hundred German families to each
county. Such settlers could buy land
upon their own terms. Good farm
lands could be bought at from So to
50 per acre; as good as the same class
of land West One good crop will gen
orally pay for a small farm and support
the family. These lands are well tim
bered and watered, accessible to market,
and the white people, though many of
them are in poverty, will extend an old
Virginia welcome and hospitality.
Farm labor all through this section is
scarce. The negro as tiller of the soil
is not what he was in other days. They
have left the farm and gone to the rail
roads and other public works, or are
giving their attention to politics When
they will work upon the farm they de-
mand more than better labor formerly
received or expected. The question of
farm labor in Virginia is year by year
becoming more serious. In many of
the best agricultural counties Of this
State the negro is no longer relied upon.
Their places are being supplied by
white labor and improved machinery.

THE BEST MEDICAL writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating, easy of application and
one that will reach all the remote sores and
liberated surfaces. The history of the eff
forts to treat catarrh during the past obliges
these conditions, and that is Ely's Cream
Balm. This pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and
both physicians aud patients freely concede
this fact. The more distressing symptoms
yield to it.

McCleay School Entertainment.

Prof. Hickman having just fin
ished very successful term OF
school decided, with the aid of the
scholars, TO give an entertainment
in the evening at the McCleay hall.
The exercises were opened with a
song by the school, ''Red White
and Blue;" Recitation "Oh Broad
man Spair That Tree" by Bertha
Savage, and she deserves much
credit for it was almost her first eff
fort before so large an audience az
was present. Master Rockwell
Carey told how hard it was for him
to get up before 50 many and make
Il SD eech, and if we did not think So
for us just to try it. Song, "Over
the Sea" by Mr. Brown, Ashby,
Taylor Miss Storer, Woosly, and
Brewer, and all did well. Wallis
Glover recited "Outer Puff with
great credit to himself. Miss
Price recited "McClaine's Child"
which was among the best rendi-
tions during the evening. Follow
ing this was a dialogue: THE old
folks are away" by Miss King, Miss
Carey and Willie Savage, A. ! Leb-
mon, and from the way it was acted
out they surely have had some eX-
perience or expect to in the near
future. Ben Daley lost his "Mary
Ann" and did not know where TO
find her, (Ben is bird) if he did
prefere to be four-leged a"imal in
one of his dialogues. 81 am Seventy
two Boys" by Mr.. Ahalt and his
effort showed he was still boy
among the boys. Miss Ida Hartley
recited "Only a Slave" in such II
way as to show she is quite master
of elocution. The colored gentle
men did very we'll, but the crowd
begun to get restless after being
held for about three hours. After
the exercises were over the young
people tripped the light fantastic
the rest of the night.
Prof. Hickman may rest assured
that the entertainment was success
and the scholars and parents, OF
Macleay district feel pretty proud
over their teacher. He is an able
instructor and has made many
friends among us.

Charming Fishers of lIen.

Recently there was gathering Of young
married couples in Louisville and the con

the wives had secured their husbands One
had paved the way to the altar by making q
face at the fated one because she thought he
had stared at her impudently. He admired
her mettle, and sought an introduction. An
other made the acquaintance of the man
who is now her husband by accidentally
sousing him with pan of dlshwater, which
she tossed out Of the kitchen window into
an alley just in time to catch him as he was
passing. The one, however, that was voted
to be the most novel was the experience Of
a young man connected with the municipal
government. The latter was in the habit Of
passing, on his way home, the residence of
the young lady who is now his better halt,
and one evening, out Of spirit Of mischief,
she accidentally on purpose" turned the
hose on him. He faced about, blushed vio-

moment he knew he was faJed
