THE SONG OF THE TEXAS CORN

 was dry and dusty; was weak and weary; Now I'm glad and lusty. And the earth looks cheery. Oh, the soaking, Mirth provoking, Laughter making rain; Soft and silky,
 Mild and milky Grows my golden grain. Listen to the laughter That my leaves are making, When the wind comes after Kisses, softly shaking. Oh, healthglving, Breathing, living, Heaven pouring rain! Come, caress me, Kiss me, bless mo, Once and once againl Let your hearts be singing; Peal your p@ans, peoples; Set the joy bells ringing In the lofty steeples. Praises render
 To the sender Of tho joyous rain, Of tho living,
 The lifeGiving, Of the precious rain. John F, Stolander in Galveston News

The New Regulations Of Average
Attendance

ALtCAuduCCs
We publish below the new regulations of
the Board of Education of Virginia, gov
erning the average attendance Of public
schools, &C.:
AS TO AVERAGE ATTENDANCE.
/. An enrolment of at least twenty pupils,
attendance of that number, is required to con-
stitute public free school.
2. Boards of school trustees, when satisfied
that there is not sufficient number Of chill
dren in any school neighborhood to entitle
them to school under the previous section,
and that the geography Of the district is such
that no judicious Encouragement of the sever
al schools can be so made as to furnish the
minorities proper school facilities, may GER
tify statement of the case, with diagram
of the section to be accommodated, to the
county superintendent, who shall forthwith
visit the section in question, and if he find
that the statements made are correct, and that
the contiguous schools are judiciously located
and cannot be SO arranged as to furnish the
minorities fair school facilities, he may au-
thorize the board of trustees to reduce the
average attendance of such school to fifteen.
g. In cases where the average attendance is
reduced by reason of a factious spirit on the
part of one OF few persons, OF in consequence
of the proper exercise Of discipline, prevail
ence of contagious diseases, or lack of proper
supply of textbooks, the district board may
continue such school if they deem it advisable
to do so; provided, that all such cases shall
be reported to, and be approved in writing by
the county superintendent.

Those in Augusta county entitled to a
return of the money they, OF their ances-
tors, paid years ago to the U. S. govern
ment in settlement of the direct land tax

lists would be finished in Richmond by to-
day, hut it is added by the Richmond Times
that forty -nine commissioners will have to
be appointed by the Governor fol- each
county where tax money is to be distribu-
ted. and one commissioner each for Rich
mond, Petersburg, Norfolk and Lexington.
AS all the parties who act will have to giVA
bond approved by the county courts it is
likely to besome weeks before the money is
forthcoming. In Alexandria. Henrico,

of an officer OF the Baldwin District Fair
Association, that Pawnee Bill had been en-
gagged by it for the Fair this month. 1t
turns out however that their telegram
reached Pawnee Bill too late, and he had
already engaged that date for Atlantic
City. Since that, the District Fair author
tiles have closed contract with Van Nor
man who will furnish Roman chariot races,
and Prof. De Cope the aerOnaut, whose
special feat is a unique one. On getting a
mile up in the air he ties his dog to a para
chute, then takes parachute himself and
both leap out of the balloon in falling
race to see which reaches the earth first.
1t is said the dog often beats his master in
the perilous race. The Fair opens on Tues.
day. August 23d.
