BOERS' SHELL NO GOOD.
fBy Cable to The Associated Press.1

HOPE TOWN, Friday. Nov. 10, 1880
ceived from Kimberley says
THE Beers ceased shelling November T.,
about seven P. M, having fired at inter
walls all day long, some seventy shells, a
majority of them falling in debris heaps
and open spaces. The average range was
$3.50 yards. One cooking pot was injured.
There was a brisk market for fragments,
choice specimens fetching SO.
The Beers apparently were shelling at
the extreme range of their guns. Yester-
days attempt was regarded as ludicrous.
The weather Is splendid. The lombard
ment was continued briskly all the
morning, November 8. One shell narrow
ly missed the Dutch Church. There were
no casualties. The shells are of very
inferior quality and seemingly fired by
amateurs One, almost intact, was pick
ed up. 1t weighs 81 pounds. The Beers
have been firing from three positions. So
far the Boer activity causes little alarm. =

While the citizens of Grayson county

railroads are not built on wind and
are looking for another route. from
whence financial aid will be forth

Then why don't we all have

University Scholarship.

The following from the Virgins
! School Journal, relates to Scholar
ships offered by the University o
Virginia, and contains information
that NAV be OF great value to SOM
Of our readers:
The case has been greatly chang
ed since Mr.. Jefferson wrote these
sentences three quarters of a century
ago. In that day, so far away in
point of time, and, when looked al
across the achievement Of progress,
seemingly much more than twenty
six years removed, university train
ing was the expectation of a favored
few, and specialization only a Jeffer-
sonian vision. Now all classes "a
aspire to the best. OF curse some
means is necessary, and the Univer-
sity is doing all in its power to en-
large the opportunities by making
all the academic schools free to Vir-
ginians. In addition to this it has
provided various scholarships. 1t
ought to be more generally known
that the University offers to the pub
lie schools of Virginia six academic
scholarships, two of which are to be
filled annually, for a term not exceed
ing three years. They carry free
matriculation in addition to the an
nual value Of the scholarship, which
is 5000 in cash. The scholarship is
forfeited if the beneficiary does not
pass ia at least one Of his classes in
any year of his in%cumbency. The
manner of selecting the persons who
are to enjoy them is this: Each pub
lie school is allowed to name three
or less Of its white male graduates of
the current session, or candidates for
graduation, who are eligible only in
case they graduate that session, as
candidates for scholarships. These
are required to stand an examination
Latin, Mathematics and English
under prescribed regulations. The
papers are read and valued by Uni
gersity professors, and the scholar
ships awarded to the candidates who
'%eceive the highest marks, if these {
marks reach the university standard. /;
"Another series Of these benefits :
re known as alumni scholarships, !
nd were established at the March S
meeting Of the Board of Visitors. C
he incumbents are to be appointed ,
y the local alumni association now y
rganized throughout the country and D
ppearing in the catalogue, and by y
nch other local associations as may #
GREATER be organized, and who, by |
ne consent of the Board, become en- -
tied to the privilege. The term is e
II n year, with a chance for reap Ct
ointment under certain favorable o.
,nditions, and the incumbent is O n :,
ned to the benefit of the classes in IN
lie academic department. 1t carries ii
ee tuition and remission of all Uni is
'rsity fees. The associations can e,
lily appoint such as need aid and ca
e of good moral character. This OF
ivilege of appointment is given only re
associations that have twenty or ~
ore active members entitled to vote. m
hen the active membership is fifty of
more the association is granted an
e power to appoint two incumbents. Al
