is native OF Virginia and understands
yirginians, and has proven himself true
and loyal to them. He (Trigg) thinks
that Mills has not the shadow OF

did not expect to be elected, but that this

The visitor was much interested in what

about the number of students, the terms

penses. When he had seen all that there
was time to show him and all his other
questions had been answered he put the
query which from his air it was evident he
considered of great importance, and which
showed how impossible it was for him to
conceive of any great enterprise otherwise
