The Southwest Virginia improvement
Co. has brought damage suit against
j. $. Browning, placing the damages at
$42, 900. This suit, we suppose, is based

ings and the Southwest Virginia Improve
ment Company. The Company claims
that COL Browning has mined over on its
property, while Col. Browning denies that
he has infringed upon the Company's
property.
Quite number of students from this
county have attended the Southern Bust
ness College, at Bristol, during the past
year and have secured good positions.
We understand that several young teach

We are informed that the demand for the
students of this school is so great that it is
hard to keep them until they graduate.
The school continues right through the
summer.

idence this afternoon at two o'clock, to be
conducted by Reys. w. w. Ruff and j. S.

one year ago and leaves an infant boy ten
days old. She bad been in i'll health for

1t is reported that a number of public
school teachers and advanced students
from the public schools are looking for
ward to better advantages than they now
have, and that they are going to improve
their time and opportunities by entering
the Spring term of the National Business
College, Roanoke, Va. We understand
that public school teachers and advanced
pupils who have attended there, have, on
account of the special adaptability of the
work ct the National Business College, Sc
cured salaries ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000 per month. The world needs
those young men and women of character
and push, who are we'll advanced in the
public school line, and ifthey will take the
normal English and Business training that
is offered by the National Business College
they will do well. Better send for cat
alogue and terms.
