The Greeks prefer to reopen the
war against Turkey to paying the
indemnity provided by the terms of
peace. At "A meeting held Sunday a
series of resolution were adopted cali
ing upon King George to renew the
war. The meeting was not repres-
entative OF the better classes, and
the resolutions are entitled to about
the same Difference that would be
accorded series Of resolutions
adopted by Chicago council Of the

The Legislature.

The House finance committee has
so arranged the appropriation fol
paving salaries of teachers at the West
Virginia University as to dispense with
the preparatory branch at that insti-
tuition, it being argued that this NOV e
Will greatly benefit our several normal
schools. In the Senate, however, the
idea seems to prevail that this branch
should not be done away with at once,
but by degrees, and an amendment
will be offered in that body by which
this department may within three
years be practically dispensed with.
Some person in the Legislature
wanted bill passed doing away with
the normal school at Shepheldstown
and establishing home for incurables
here in its place. Fortunately the
scheme was promptly knocked out.
The Legislature has passed bill
providing for county boards to adopt
and contract for text books for use in
the public schools. This takes the
school book question out of the hands
of the Legislature and puts the mat
ter of choosing text books entirely
with the several counties. The county
boards are to be appointed by the
county courts.
The bill which passed the Legisla-
ture in regard to toll roads and turn
pixies was vetoed by Governor Mac
Corkle and failed to pass over his veto.

To the Citizens of Jefferson and Berke-
lev counties-The time has come when
there ought to be pike from Shepherds
town 10 Martinsburg. Let the people
that live along that road in either coun-
ty commence the good work, and they
will find that they are not alone in the
desire for pike Its benefits would be
of great importance to the farmers and
other people that live and travel the road
at all seasons, besides increasing the val
lie Of all the property along the road.
Let the property-owners and every one
interested in the pike meet somewhere
and appoint committee TO draw up Pc
titions TO be presented to the county
courts of each of the counties, and cir
culate them for signers. There are not
many people who would refuse TO sign
them.
The cost of a pike would be from
twelve to eighteen hundred dollars per
mile. As the road runs through two
counties. the only way would be for each
county to appropriate money enough for
its part of the road The best way would
be for each county to contract for that
part of the road in its own territory. 1t
is also the cheapest way.
We have here the finest limestone rock
in the world. and it is what scientists
say is the finest material that can be
gotten in the world for road building.
The landowners would give the rock
free. and no doubt a number would haul
the rock for nothing to help along good
cause after the rock had been crushed
| remember that several years ago the
Baltimore county md authorities made
a contract with Baker Bros, of Baker
ton. this county, to furnish them two
thousand tons of crushed rock at about
1926 per ton. Now. they must have
thought it was good investment or they
would never come away up here to buy
rock to build good roads The cost OF
maintaining such road when once built
is small. Let the farmers and those who
drive or ride over a muddy or stony road
at all seasons, count the cost of the re-
pairs to all kinds of vehicles they own,
and they will find they are paying a
higher rate of road tax than the man
that pays a rate of ) per cent and drives
over pike all the year.
Now, kind friends, let all who are in
favor of this pike buckle on the armor
and get down and work for good roads.
Then by the time another year rolls
around we will see our desires carried
out. Iremain yours for
GOOD ROADS.

HAMPDEN-SIDNEY COLLEGE. Va,
~ 1Cn~

February y, 1897.
DEAR REGIsTER-The birthday of the
father of his country was appropriately
celebrated here this evening. The reg
ular exercises of the college were sus-
pended for the day and at p. m, not
withstanding the inclemency of the
weather, large audience assembled in
the college chapel to witness an exhibit
ton of the skill of several of our amateur
athletes. From the peals of laughter
and shouts of applause, one would say
that the spectators were highly enter
tanned and amused. To those of a class
ical turn of mind the grand old scenes in
the Grecian arena were suggested. The
exercises clearly proved that college
can give men physical, as well as mental,
development.
At o'clock large and enthusiastic
audience again assembled. \ little late r
the six orators of the evening marched
up the aisle, led by DR.. Mcllwaine, to
music furnished by the Hampden-Sid-
new Guitar and Mandolin Club. The
orations were well composed and well de-
livered. Each Grafton was followed by
music Mr.. Diehl, one of jefferson sons
in attendance here is member Of the
club and shows rare musical talent. The
last grafton, which was tribute TO the
memory of Abraham Lincoln, was fol-
lowed by the spirited strains of Dixie
amid prolonged applause. President
McIlwaine then arose and in his impress
sive way invited the ladies to the beau
tifully furnished halls of the two liter
airy Societies-the Union and the Phil
anthropic. The musicians and the stu
dents, of course, followed. Here the
time was very pleasantly taken up by So
cial conversation and music. Several
ladies, from Farmville and other places,
visited 1.-THE hill" at this time in order
to be present at this one of the most
important occasions of the year.
Judging from appearances, one would
be led to predict prosperous era, in
the near future. for old II. ). c., if she
is not already in that era. The standard
of scholarship, now high, in the different
departments is being constantly raised.
The entire institution seems to be TAX
ing on new life.
Success seems to be attending the la
bors of the four here from Jefferson, if
you will excuse the personal reference.
