1t is now settled that Virginia col
lege of Roanoke, which was destroyed
by fire last week, will be temporarily
located at Buena Vista, The large
hotel building at that place is suitably
furnished with school apparatus, and
is well heated. and the inducements
offered are Of such nature as to cause
the Board Of Directors to make this
selection between a-half- dozen places,
among them Salem, Bristol, Bedford
City, Lynchburg, and even Chattanooga,

the event of the college not being re-

capture the prize.

Miss Denehy tells of other girls who
