BEDFORD CITY. VA. August 70
l-reclal)- This week has marked the car
nhal Of the social season here, so con-
slant has been the whirl Of gayety
among the young people. both Of the
town and the strangers within the gates.
Ou Monday evening there was a grand
hay-ride, participated I'm by some Of the
guests Of Hotel Bedford, who were lured
forth by the cffulgent beams Of the full
moon that iilumined the earth. There
were three large vehicles fun Of them.
and their merry songs and laughter float

YELLOW SULPHUR SPRINGS, VA,
August 25.-(SpeciaI)-Th guests at the
yellow Sulphur seem determined to prove
tine falsity Of the statement that the
height Of the reason here is reached by
the middle Of August. Each day, since
my last letter. has been marked by some
particular form Of amusement.
Saturday night the gentlemen gave
hay-ride to the white sulphur, In order
that the party might attend the german
there. Mrs Page. Of Richmond and Mrs.
Kilkenny, Of New orleans. were the cha
perones Of the occasion which was voted
by every one TO be considerably more OF
q success than hay-rides usually are.
Tuesday afternoon large party, under
the chaperonage Of Mrs. Page and Mrs.
Gugenheimer. drove over TO Allegheny
Springs TO attend the usual weekly ger
man there. The same night Mrs. Atkins
and Mrs. Robinson chaperoned a large
horseback party on a moonlight ride 70
Blacksburg. Riding and driving over the
mountains by moonlight are the favorite
pastimes here.
Wednesday night was the occasion FOR
the long-looked FOR bal poudre," and
the affair fully met the expectations Of
those who had been anticipating It, Large
parties were in attendance from the
White sulphur. and Blacksburg and all
were charmed with the pleasant evening.
The programme of dances was varied
somewhat from the usual order and be-
fore the german, which Mr.. Martin and
Miss Rosenbaum so gracefully LED. the
reel and lancers were danced.
A large progressive euchre party Thurs
day morning made a few hours pass
away most pleasantly for the guests
Mrs Martin won the first ladies' prize,
NJ Benedict the second. and Miss Bin.

for the -antlemen and Mr.. Tibbs the Sc

Thursday evening Mrs. Earheart ana

Salaries should BE Raised.

The new law, appointing boards of
review 30 look after the expenditures of
county officials, is no doubt good one.
But good law may be abused. In q
good many counties the boards have re-
duceu the salaries of county superin-
tendents, and have curtsiled other ex-
penses relating t. school buildings and
supplies. 1t is to be hoped that these
boards will move cautiously in reducing
these estimates. If superintendent is
worth anything, he is worth all he can
get according To the present law. AS to
teachers, they should be better qualified
and receive better pay. A teacher
ought to be able TO have good library,
wear good clothes and have the assur
ance that il he labors earnestly and
lives economically he need not spend
his old days in the poor house. He
ought to be man of large soul power;
but he cannot develop very big soul
on two dollars a day, twenty days q
month, six months in a year. A few
terms in the average county office gives
man a good business education,
wide acquaintance in the country and
money enough to get comfortable
home and Get up in some good paying
business. The uncertainty of position,
the Indefinite length Of term and the
low wages paid in the country drive
the wideawake, progressive teachers to
the city schools or other professions.
Teachers should first prepare themselves
then work to secure wages such as will
justify them in remaining in the pro-
