with the aid OF the accompanying

from the common place INTO a thing
of artistic beauty and cozlness.

Huron College Letter.

Huron College closed its first
term of work on Thursday December
%. 1t has been successful beyond
the expectations of its friends. Over
one hundred students in all depart
ments have been enrolled during the
term.
The College offers classical and
scientific courses equal to those OF
the best eastern colleges. Besides
these, work is offered in normal,
commercial. and musical courses
equal to the best. Thorough work
is done along all these lines. The
College thus aims to provide for the
needs of every class of students in
this region. Expenses are made as
low as possible. No school in the
west offers equal advantages at less
cost.
There are many young people who
can attend school but one term Mt n
time. There are many Others who
have never had an opportunity to
get an education, and still Others
who wish to review the common
branches. For the benefit of such
students, there will be formed at the
opening OF the winter term classes in
all the common branches for one
term OF rapid work. These classes
will cover the entire subject assigned,
as nearly as possible, in the term.
Special classes will be formed in
other subjects not included in the
schedule If not less than five students
request any such class. Write to
Pres. c. H. French for catalogue and
further information.

Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1899-06-09

Ex-senator German, of Maryland
recently has allowed himself TO be
interviewed on the political situation
and thereby indicated, perhaps, that
he is not unwilling TO place himself
'-in the hands of his friends if they
should conclude that he would be az
available candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination. He is so far willing,
it seems, that he has even outlined
the platform upon which he would
be willing 10 make the race. In that
interview he spoke hopefully OF &
reunion of the democratic party for
the presidential campaign upon 4
platform declaring against expan>
sion, imperialism and trusts, but does
not think the silver issue would be
prominent. Ii other words, Mr..
German seems TO have put in Il bic,
for the presidential nomination il
the event silver as an issue does not
prevail in the next National Demo
cratic Convention-and if as he pro-
fesses to believe,it may not, the boom
which he has started does credit to
his sagacity. The current of events.
though, seem to be moving in a diff
ferent direction TO that indicated by
the Elk Senator, and nothing politi-
cally seems to be more certain than
that silver will be an issue again and
that Mr.. Bryan, as the most persist
ent advocate of free coinage at IL to
l, will be the leader OF his party.

AccoMAc Court HOUSE, Va.

Attention is invited to commu-
nication in this issue of the secretary
of The Eastern Shore Agricultural
Association. 1t will be noted, that
there will be no change in date as
advertised several weeks ago, that
improvements are being made in the
grounds for the accommodation OF
all who may be in attendance and in
every department for the better dis
play of the exhibits, that new features
are to be added and that the moral
and conservative policy which has
characterized the fair in the past, will
be more risidly observed even at the
coming exhibition than heretofore.
1t is only necessary to say, in add
ton to what has been so well said by
the secretary that the fair OF this year
will, in our opinion, continue to merit
the liberal patronage which it has
received in the past, by its exhibits,
improved accommodations and in
creased attractions, and has too fast a
hold upon the affections of the peo-
pie who for years have met on its
grounds, we believe, not to receive
patronage sufficiently liberal this
year to insure its continued success.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis Offers BeauYOir to
MiSSiSSiDDI.

The United Daughters of the Con
federacy held an interesting three
days session here this week, and
were shown every possible social
courtesy at the hands of the ladies OF
Jackson. During the sessions of the
convention letter was read from
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, in which she
proposed to sell Beauvoir, the old
home of her illustrious husband, on
the Gulf Coast, for $25, 900, so that it
might become the property of the
State and be used as home for Con
federate Veterans. Mrs. Davis went
on to say that she had been offered
$1,000 for the plantation by Northern
capitalists, but that she had declined
TO sell to them, hoping the State
would yet purchase the place for the
purposes above described. The dele
gates were very generally in favor OF
owning the place, but declined to ask
the State to purchase it. A resolution
asking for the appointment OF q com
mittee of three to visit jackson dur
ing the sitting of the Legislature next
winter for the purpose of securing az
appropriation to be used in the pur.
chase of the farm was voted down by
a majority of two.-Jackson Miss

years, led in Richmond on Wednes-

expected will be received with sorrow

them for his genuine worth as a man

who had occasion to visit the Capitol

The History Committee OF the
Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans
held il the city Of Richmond last
Monday, adopted resolution cen
surfing Fiske's history and the history
of Cooper, Estil & Lemon, and
memorializing the Grand Camp TO
urge the State Board Of Education
to eliminate these works from the
list Of books now taught III the
schools Of Virginia. IL the reports
submitted on these books both were
severely condemned and the history
of Fiske declared TO be CHASED, per-
nicious and unfit for use in our
schools :" That they were admitted
into our schools seems to be due to
their unquestioned literary merit but
it ought to be gratifying to every
Virginian, despite that fact, that
they arc to be excluded. Vice is most
pernicious in its effects when it comes
to us in an attractive form and if the
history of Fiske does not tell the
truth about the South, as it is
charged, its literary merit should con-
denim it rather than recommend it to
us. 1t is better that our children be
left in ignorance as to the occurances
of the last decade or SO than
to have their minds poisoned By the
misrepresentation made by Northern
authors, and we heartily concur in
the views of Mr.. Bishop, one of the
committee, that lone slur in any
history against the South is sufficient
to condemn it in our eyes" 1t is not
enough to proclaim our loyalty to
the South and our belief in the prin-
ciples for which many of its people
fought and died, but it is our duty to
have our children so taught that
they will believe it also.
