JACKSON. ", Va, July II, - The

cst enthusiasm. the full attendance
continuing until the very last minute
OF the last EeSsIol, There was 'nn en-
r0llnlGit Of aDh teachers, while the clti-
ZenS OF the town AMI OF tho vicinity
attended regularly, 10 that AT nearly
every session stnndlng room WINS Mt u
premium, while at night the large court
room was literally packed. Tho chairs
were carried from the town hall, but
stlll seats could not be provided for NIL
who wished them Fully 400 people were
present u goodly part OF tho time. This
shows that the citizens OF Jackson
county are fully abreast of the times
educatlOnallE. wlttc TN good people OF
the pleasant little village Of Jackson
show that In regard both TO hospitality
md education they are away UP In the
scale. a stranger stopping here Is
ma1e'to feel at homo at once.
One feature OF the institute was n
lecture by Waliman Tarbe. field agent
OF the State University. delivered Fri
duy morning before the teachers and all
the principal citizens OF the town. Eia
subject was Educational IDEAS" and
for NJ hour he held tho closest attention
OF every one who heard him. Mr..
Barbo az q lecturer Ia first class and he
~ doing a grent work for the West
Virginia University.
Mr.. G. ll.Proglcr, OF Jackson, OK
hiblied before the institute u set Of
1nthpn1ni Hon I "a NNsl. tyI.nr M rIOaI unI,ant
blocks, and In his explanation OF them
showed that their use would more than
double the power OF the teacher In GER
tain subjects Of study. The rcuInrlta-
hir thing concerning these blocks Is
that while they are Just az good as
any now for sale. these will cost about
one.fOLrth as much ny the price gem
orally paid for such devices.
The news from the Chicago conven-
ton was received here with the greHt-
est surprise. Indeed this does not cx-
press II; for no one seemed to dream
that the ''bce" was In the bonnet OF the
eloquent Nebraskan. Any other one
placed before the convention would
have been thought OF as the successful
n before Mr.. Bryan. Indeed some In
HlSt that hIs name Ia Bryant, instead OF
Bryan: but the majority ngree that his
name will BIO Dennis" after the ides OF
November.
Mr.. Deem, Of the Herald, says that
unless the free silver craze draws u
good many Republicans, and he does
not see why II should, Jackson county
VIII 20 Republican by 700 majority
above all others. Hon. Warren Miller
says the question might ns well be met
now MS some time In the future, and he
believes Mckinley will be t%riumphantly
elected,
Hon. George J. Walker snys Jackson
county VIII go Republican. I'VE will
beat 'em, mind that" a y he. Ile Is
enthusiastic In the matter. Every
Democrat expresses himself az conti-
dent OF winning, but Il Is not spoken In
that confident tone that causes one TO
be sure he believes what he says.
There may be free silver Republicans in
this county. but the writer has failed 10
md them after a s~oJourn OF a week.
anu In hcaring hundreds express them
selves. All unite in saying that they
want a dollar worth Il hundred cents.
even II they do not gel many OF them.
This county will be well represented
at the Republican convention on the
End. INT all favor Atkinson for cover
nor. He VIII have a walkover II jack
son county could have the entire say.
After n %sojourn OF 4 week in this neat
little village OF Jackson, ] must say he
people are all right and that this
county IS fully awake to everything that
goes to make up the prosperity OF our
STATE. T. II. C.
