Mr.. EDIToR-I understand that
several years ago it was decreed by
the County School Board of Acco-
mac that married ladies are ineligible
to schools. I grant this to be true in
many cases, but there are some mar
ried ladies who would be as con
scientious teachers as though they
were unmarried. They would not
neglect their schools for household
duties. Should such be debarred the
privilege OF teaching simply because
they are married. Cannot it be left
with District Boards to discern be-
tween proper and improper appii-
cante for schools, who may present
themselves? Is il not reasonable to
suppose that trustees have enough
irmness to reject the bad and accept
The good? y.

PENINSULA FAIR.
TnaIey. Va. Auguat 22-2o.
A great fair for a great people.

A great fair for great people.
On the principle that nothing is too
good for the people of Eastern Shore
of Virginia, we have not spared time,
money or labor in our efforts to make
this the grandest fair In every de-
partment ever given on the PENN.
sula
To make 1t a success We are spend
ing money as though dollars were
pine shafts and we had woods full
of them.
See our race programme with Its
complete protection and large purses
for Eastern Shore Virginia horses
alone. In addition to this we offer
inducements sufficient to attract the
best horses in adjoining States to
come and exhibit their wonderful
powers on superb track to an ap-
preciatlve audience.
Lamp Girl, Stella, Little Guy and
Bursar are keeping open house and
invite all comers-none barred and
all treated alike.
The ladies asked for just twice the
space in their department they had
last year, and of course they got it.
They promise twice the exhibit this
year, and it goes without saying we
will have it. however, we eau scarce
conceive how the display of last year
con be improved upon.
Departments of cattle. sheep, swine
poultry and agricultural products
will be as complete as tine, money
and experience can make them.
AS free exhibition In front of
grand stand we present Signor Du-
Ford, the human bullet. who has
performed before the crowned heads
of Europe and select audiences in our
own country. He will be shot from
the mouth Of a blazing cannon into
space and in his wild and weird flight
will seize trapeze suspended at
giddy height and perform marvellous
feats before descending to earth.
This is no joke. We have his con-
tract We pay the money and he
takes the risk,
Ray Burton, the greatest equilibrist
known, will perform from same plat
form.
Remember the date and the price.
but quarter same as last year. Can
we afford it? Well, we are going to
try.

Rev. j. D. Hank left on Saturday

meeting of the trustees of R. NJ. Col.
lege, and returned home this week.
His pulpit at this place was filled on
Sunday by Rev. j. Carson Watson
and at Andrew Chapel by Rev. E. I
Adams.
On last Saturday night there was
a large crowd of people in town. In
the business centre the streets pre-.
sented a very busy appearance until
"a late hour. Many of the country
people find it more comfortable dur
ing the hot season to visit the town
atevening and the people of the town
go on the street chiefly at that hour.
Our people are on the go. All
affairs are unsettled and will be for
six weeks to come. We are racing
for pleasure-to the cities, to the sea
shore, to the mountains, to the meet
lngs in the woods. The county fairs
and the camp-meetings are about to
open where the public will be at
tracted and entertained for the bal
apce of the month.
Many summer boarders are here.
They come, not by invitation through
advertising, for people do not make
ready and seek them, but through
their own inquiry for pice place to
rest during the hot weather, aud ask
for accommodation. Noting this fact
causes us to repeat the statement
that has been made more than once
in YOUR columns-thati If those who
wish to do such business would make
due preparation and advertise for
summer guests they would bring
hundreds to the town and to the
homes outlying. Larger apartments
would be needed to accommodate
them. The current rate for board
would yield profit to the house
keepers and to have the good people
from the cities and the high country
stopping with us would benefit the
place in many ways. The reputation
of the town attracts them.
