 The examination of "the Crystal Lake school" occurred last Friday. Miss Hattie C. Aborn has now taught this school two entire years. Marked inn provement has been made during the time. No scholar was absent examina- tion day-an excellent thing. While all did we'll, let me especially mention the singing of Precious Jewels" by three little ones-Claude Dimock, Bessie Neff and Flossie Baker. It is especially mo- ticeable that the four children of MT. and Mrs. Myron Dimock attending the school, Edna, Elna, Lena and Claude, were all perfect in attendance, also Edith Neff, and Morton Aborn was not absent, and tardy only twice. Bessie Neff was not tardy, and only absent because of sickness.

and the party started off in high spirits
dreaming of big strings of fish and lots
of good country fare. But after arriv-
ing at their destination, the strangers
in strange land, they missed their
guide and host, and were consequently
obliged to count ties to Roanoke minus
FISH and with an aching void instead of
satisfied appetites. They are now gun
ming for the perpetrator OF the Joke.

Unfortunate Woman.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va July 27.-The
whereabouts of Mrs. J. w. Coffin, who
disappeared from her home Monday
morning last, are as much of mystery
as on the day Of her disappearance. A
thor ough search has been made in the
city OF Washington, where it was
thought by some that she had gone.
Numbers OF persons in this place affirm
that she was seen by them at different
places on Monday. The opinion seems
to be growing that her mind was I'M
balanced and that she has committed
suicide.
A party of friends and sympathizers
made thorough search for the missing
lady this morning in the vicinity Of the
WOODEN mills, and large party went to
the Rivanna this afternoon for the pur-
pose of dragging the stream. Mr.. Coffin
and his sons are still in WASHINGTON,
but will return tonight or in the morn
ing and continue the search here. Mr..
William Bruin, brother-in-law of Mrs.
Coffin, was here to-day, but he could
throw no light on the unfortunate
affair. The letter written to him by
the missing lady was about business
affairs and contained no reference what
ever as to her intentions.

SOUTHERN FINANCIAL SITUATION

Speaking OF the Southern financial
situation the Manufacturers Record
says that with the present condition of
affairs the wonder is that the South has
not bad more failures. Its record thus
far is certainly one to be proud of. The
most sanguine business men do not
look for any permanent improvement
until after the meeting of Congress and
the monetary question is settled
Everyone must endure and wait until
that time. Meanwhile the indications
are still OF reaction for the better in
the near future. Europe will require a
far larger quantity of breadstufs than
last year
Large exports of wheat have already
commenced. Money is easier in spite
OF stock market fluctuations. Gold
continues to be imported in spite of the
efforts the Bank Of England is making
to retain it. Exchange houses say
that only normal condition OF affairs
is required to bring it back to the
States by the million. Clearing house
certificates are being cancelled at all
the large cities, showing that money is
more plentiful.
The stock market is so unsettled
that it has ceased to be an indication of
the true value of the securities, and a
$50, 900 bank failure is liable to cause a
general decline, so nervous is the
feeling. 1t is too early to determine
the real cause or the extent of the
trouble in Colorado. Much of it NAV
be imaginary and due to the alarmist
sentiments of the silver convention.
AS the silver production is only one Of
many OF the States resources, it is the
opinion that the feeling over the effect
that the silver bills repeal may have is
very much exaggerated.
