Prof. Brereton Of the Stonewall band

the hearty and unstinted support of the
people of Staunton and Augusta county.
1t is an organization of which we are all
proud, and no efforts should be spared to
place and keep this splendid organization
on a footing with the best bands of the
country.
There is diversity Of opinion as to the
merits Of the Walton bill in this section
1t doubtless has some Objectionable fea-
lures, but a test and time will indicate
what features shall be eliminated, and
what added to make it perfect. This law
as it now is will certainly suppress the
buying of votes, and this point alone will
oyershadow many minor defects.

DIDN'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.

A young gentleman who lately left
his fathers house, having exhausted
his credit, telegraphed the other day
to his parents:
'sYour son Walter was killed this
morning by falling chimney. What
shall we do with the remains?''
In reply a check was sent for 800,
with the request, "bury him.
The young gentleman pocketed the
money and had an elaborate Spree
BY and-by he sent his father the fol-
lowing note:
81 have just learned that an infa
nous scoundrel named Barker sent
you fictitious account of my death,
and swindled you out of 500. He
also borrowed $50 from me and left
the country. 1 write to inform you
that am still alive and long to see
the parental roof again. I am in some
what reduced circumstances, the ac-
cumulations of the last five years hav-
ing been lost-a disastrous stock spec
ulation- and if you would only spare
me 500 l would ever be thankful for
your favor. Love to all.'
A few days later the cunning youth
received the following dignified letter
from his outraged parent:
"My Dear Son-I have buried you
once and that is the end of it, de-
cline to have any transactions with a
ghost.-Yours in the flesh. FATHER.

A few dollars spent every vacation
in keeping the school houses and
yards in good order will be money
we'll spent. 1t will increase the com
munity's respect for the place; bad
boys and tramps are not SO liable to
do mischief to nice, neat looking
school house in yard nicely kept, as
to dilapidated building surrounded
by tall, unsightly weeds. The former
creates respect, the latter contempt,
and many will act in accordance with
that feeling. 1t pays the community
to look to this matter. What it costs
to keep things nice and in order about
the school houses in summer is saved
in the fall repairs. Besides the con-
dition of the school house and it's sur
roundings is a good and sure index to
strangers of the mental calibre and in
tellectual standing of the community.
Directors, look to these matters and
see that your school yards are kept
nice and clean with everything in
good repair.
