"Southern Exercises" at Vine Hill Male
Academy.

t.Southern Exercises" at Vine Hill Male
Academy.
In our last issue we announced that
Superintendent Prince..& Wilson were
fortunate in securing Dr.. J. William
Jones of Virginia for the above occa-
sion. DR.. Jones is we'll known through
out the South. A private soldier,
or Chaplain, he followed the fortunes
of the Army of Northern Virginia from
Harper's Ferry in 1861 to Appomattox
in 1865. He knew personally Davis,
Lee, Jackson, Stuart, and many others
OF our leading Generals and other Off
GERS, and made it his especial business
to study thoroughly and know intimate
ly the men Of the rank and file. The
object OF the Superintendent in intro
ducing these annual Southern Exercis-
es into their school 1--WE believe no 9TH
er school in the South holds such exer-
clses) was to pay a just tribute to the
valOr and patriotism OF our fathers who
fought and our mothers who sacrificed
for the cause of our loved Southland
and to teach the youth the true history
of the struggle between the States.
DR.. Jones' subject tor Tuesday night,
May 4th, is "The Boys in Gray, or The
Private Confederate Soldier as Knew
Him-Who He Was-What He Was
and What He Accomplished :" and
Wednesday, the 9Th at IL o'clock he
will deliver his "Christ in The Camp,
or Religion In Lees Army" A more
appropriate program or man could not
grace the occasion. The public are in
vited and the school will especially well
come every Confederate Veteran and
lis wife.

THIS LETTER Is PUBLISHED BY PERMI6-
SION as tribute and testimony to
the worth of this invaluable remedy ::
Roanoke College,

Roanoke COll0g0,
Salem, Va, Oct. 8th, 1896.
DEAR DIR. CANNON:
Your Phyto-Lithlne for Rheumatism
was received several weeks ago. have
waited for results, and can now tell you
of its success in the very severe case Of
Rheumatism in which it has been
used. My wife, who has been afflicted
with Rheumatism for years, had sui
fered with this attack several months,
her left leg and knee very much swol-
len and attended with intense pain. We
had tried other remedies without SEN
sible effect, but by the use of this one
bottle of your Phyto-Lithlne the pain
was rapidly relieved and now all pain
and swelling have entirely disappeared.
In fact, she Is not only able to get out
of bed, but can walk about whenever
and wherever she chooses. Moreover
she seems steadily improving in other
respects, and is more like herself than
she has been for two or three years. l
need not assure you that we all rejoice
In this pleasant result, and ii my heart
lest recommendation can count for any
thing, / hope to send many orders
from this section for your Remedy, and
1 will be more than glad to give you
any testimonial you may desire.
Most sincerely yours, S. c. WELLS,
8 lS If Prof. of Mathematics, &c.

Solicitor Daniel.
Mr.. w. E. Daniel, Solicitor for this
District, has been one of the most sue
cessful, If not the most successful, of
ficers the State has ever had in this
capacity here. He rarely falls in con-
victing q man charged with crime. He
is careful, painstaklng in preparing his
cases, and the evll-doer breads his
searching examinations and powerful
arraignment and logical argument to
the jury. The States interests are
faithfully guarded by Mr.. Daniel cad
1t is to be regretted that we have not
more such strong and faithful prosecu-
tors.

A contemporary remarks "You can
always Judge a town by its paper"
Another remarks "This is only halt
true. Many a newspaper is putting on
a good front and making a creditable
appearance in town that is too dead
to attend its own funeral"
Yes, and we are of the opinion that
the cadaverous appearance first shows
itself with the business concerns that
