w oman's College
TynchbnrG. Va,

The United States Commissioner
of Education places this college in
division A (see official report, page
1882, among the fourteen leading
colleges for women in the United
States. No other Southern Col
lege is so classed
About this college six very
strong facts are given:
1. tbs endowed buildings $l48,
G27. Endowment &102,667. OH
June lst 1900
2. It is part of the Randolph
Macon System. and is backed by i 5
resources, prestige and influence.
3. 1t has a full college faculty.
1t engages the same grade Of pro-
fessors, gives the same courses and
requires the same attainments for
it's degrees as do our best colleges
for men. It's faculty numbers
twelve gentlemen and ten ladies.
4. The faculty aud their families
live with tue students.
5. 1t has a department of peda-
gogY, and gives teachers special
preparation for their work.
6. 1t is conducted OH the elective
System.
Some Of the results are
/. Cheapness. The endowment
income pays half the salaries of
professors in the Academic Depart
ment. and enables the college to
give superior education at half
cost for tuition.
2. The permanence of the col
lege is assured, and graduates come
as from a well known institution.
Then are added reputation, home
life, employment and specializing.
The fact that only one young
woman out Of five thousand will
take the high course offered at this
college makes it of greater value to
those who do.

CHARLES McHUGH BUYS
WINANS' FINE LAUNCH

Capt. George Winans' handsome
twin-screw naPhtha launch, brought
here last fall from Clinton, Iowa. has
been purchased by Charles Ntzhugh,,
of the Harper house, who will COM
mand the craft during summer voy-
ages to be taken for the pleasure of
his family and his friends.
Mr.. McHugh has not christened the
boat as yet, but will do so before she
is launched. She is now at Kahlke's
boat yard. where further improve
ments will be made on her, the new
owner having decided to build more
rooms onto the cabin.
The Dimensions of the launch are
9x45 Her draft is 80 inches and she
is propelled by 16 horse power
engine.
Ten to 20 people are carried COM
fortably, while the maximum cop
ac'ty is 40 people. The cabin has
plate glass windows, is finely up
holstered and finished, having all APP
pointments needed for the convenience
and comfort of pleasure Jaunts.
The craft is one of the Speediest in
these waters, and it is doubtful if
there is any more complete in this
part of the country. The launch was
built last fall at Clinton.

BOMAN RETURNED TO
MOLINE SCHOOL BOARD.

Unusual interest in the Moline
school election which was held Satur-
day brought out the unusually large
vote of LAS, divided in two pre-
cincts. The chief point at issue was
the reelection of G. II. Boman as a
member of the board with the tacit
understanding that he be retained as
secretary. Four tickets were in the
field, one put up by the board of edu-
cation, one by the retail merchants
opposing his reelection, with the
name of G. Z. Battles. the other
nominees being the same; another. in
Guiding him, placed in the field by
persons living on the bluff, and an
other identical with it, excepting
that G. Z Battles name displaced
Boman's. This last ticket appeared
at noon election day. DR.. A. NJ. Beal
was at the head CT all the tickets.
The result is a strong ma jority for
Mr.. Boman, but b II. Quick. one of
the other candidates on his ticket,
failed by few votes.
The proposition to ebuild the Gar
field school at a cost not to exceed
1872, COO was carried by q big vote.
The new board is as follows: Presi-
dent. A. N. Beal; members (three
years., G. III. Boman. Mrs. Emily

WILD DASH OF TEAM
ALONG FOURTH AVENUE

George Ricketts,, farmer VINO hVes
near Taylor Ridge, had rather ex-
citing experience on Fourth avenue
Just after noon today.
While driving west in farm wagon
his team became frightened and ran,
getting entirely beyond his control.
After a run of several blocks. in
which no one appeared to dispute the
right ofway, Mr.. Ricketts, saw group
of children playing in the street near
Tenth street and in order to avert a
probably serious accident, he pulled
his team into tree in front OF Daniel
Strecker's residence. and the outfit
brought up with jolt. Mr.. Ricketts,
was thrown over the team, but es-
capped with a few bruises.
The team was uninjured and the
wagon and harness were only slightly
damaged. Bnt the tree was pretty
well used up and will probab bly, form
the main item in the bill of expense,
as the owner was very much dis
turbed over it's fate.
