Hon. VIM. A. Jones, the Democratic
candidate for Congress from the First

cended the platform, he was greeted
with loud and continued applause,
and after being introduced by our
President, Mr.. Thomas NJ. Scott,
made very fine and telling speech,
discussing with ability the leading
questions Of the day, both national
and local, and so clearly did he define
the position and show up fhe colors
of his opponent, Capt. O. A. Browne,
that we predict, that on the 9th OF
November Capt. Browne will sink
into oblivion, and Mr.. Jones with
Cleveland and Stevenson at the head
OF the Democratic ticket. will receive
a majority of fifteen hundred votes
from this county. Our Democratic

EDITOR ENTERPR1sE:-This letter
may be of interest to those of your
readers who are in sympathy with
educational work, particularly that
of our own State.
Every true virginian recognizes the
practical Importance OF education.
To dwell upon this were mere nom
sense, to-day, when there are wit
nesses innumerable bearing testi
mony to Its truth. School-houses
scattered broadcast through Virginia,
from Frederick to Halifax county,
from mountains to sea; colleges, semi
naries, State institutions of learning

a great factorin the "Old Dominion
The University of Virginia, Will
liza n and Mary College and the Mill
tary Institute represent the privi-
leges of Virginia men, while Farm
vile Normal school stlnds as the
sum total of what the State has done
towards the education Of her women.
However, the SUN total continues
to progress-in single blessedness!'
The State Female Normal School
was organized in 1888, with about
100 pupils in attendance. During
the past nine years, the school has
undergone many changes and i'm
provelnents in its curriculum, in
,structors and accommodations. There
are EOS students re yistered this sea-
son, showing an increase OF over 100
since 1ssS-'84. The State aims through
this school to educate her women to
teach in Virginia public schools; and
for this end. the future teachers re-
ceive a good, practical education,
with thorough training in the theory
and practice OF teaching. There is
ever IL demand for capable teachers

The good people of Accomac are

DOUGHTY,
Secretary.

It is the experience of strawberry
growers of Wicomico county that no
fertilizing pays better than top
dressing of fertilizer in the Fall. The
vine grows and the fruit bud is form
ed in the Fall, fertilize them, and
make a strong healthy stool-they
will mature few days earlier, the
berries will be much larger and more
OF them. Remember it is the early
nice fruit that brings the net money
and our Fish Mixture F is the very
thing to do it. Try few bags on a
part of your patch and be convinced.
