"An effort is to be made to recover

commission of three state officials, and
that in the recent eastern tour in which
dozen or more companies were visited
no authorizations We're made by the
commission. During Mr.. Merriam's
term of four years the examinations
have been frequent, and companies are
advised that many are without sanction

How to Prevent Group.

It will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a Pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain,s Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands OF mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact. the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

happy home life at the school,, Captain
Vawter, who has been superintendent of
the institution since its opening in 1913, is
recognized as a wise educator and a man
of rare executive ability. His views on the
negro question, especially, have met with
approval both in the North and the South.
In 1856 the Governor OF Virginia sought his
services in the reorganization of the Poly
technic Institute at Blacksburg, where,
with the consent of the authorities of Miller
School, he most efficiently filled the post of
rector for fourteen years. His good work
as superintendent of the county Sunday
schools also bespeaks his interchangeable zeal.
During the civil war Captain Nawter was
one of the famous "StOneWal Brigade"
Near the close of the war he was taken
prisoner and confined in Fort Delaware. He
is descended from one Of Virginia's ancient
families. bishop Meade, in his old Fam

Quite a feature OF the Ragged mountains
is old "Aunt Dizzy" whose cabin stands In
the depths of a pine forest about a mile
from the institution. She belonged to a rel
ative of Thomas Jefferson, and enjoys the
distinction of having lived in three cen
turtles. The fact that she nursed her mas
ter's son. who died a few years ago at the
age of ninety, gives credence TO her claim
to log years. She is a typical darky of ante
bellum days, and has never ridden on a rail-
road train nor been out of Albemarle coun-
ty. The walls of her cabin are covered
with pictures and Scriptural verses, many
of which are upside down. Aunt Dizzy
bears a strong resemblance to a mummy
yet she can thread the finest cambria nee

wells by her visitors. In slavery time her
calling was that of seamstress. Although
an inveterates smoker, she will lay aside her
pipe willingly TO sing and shout.

A beautiful golden plea!
Youth. with its sunlit, passionate eyes,
Its rOseate velvet skin
A plea TO cancel a thousand lies,
Or a thousand nights OF sin.

To the courthouse bare and grim.
Could he plead in a lovelier way?
His judges acquitted him.

Of people off the street. They were all
anxious to see all there was agoing-
and there was plenty-and they all got
their moneys worth.
The first contest on the card was be-
tween Hose Nos. and 2. Each was to
have the men in their rooms, leave
rooms, harness, mount team. make the
run. lay hose and get water.
Hose No. ], a double team, came IN
on the run, laid a single line, and then
a double line to a deluge pipe, all in
145. Hose No. 2, single hitch, laid
two lines and got water i'm I50. Both
were very creditable performances and
were heartily applauded.
Between the two runs by the hose
companies, the Hook and Ladder Co.
gave an exhibition run. The truck
swung into the street on the dead gal
lop and hauled up in front of the Bap-
fist church, where the extension ladder
was erected and a man to the roof in 2
minutes fiat time, and grounded in 20.
This was quick work.
The hose coupling contest was the
feature of these events. Three times
did the two teams entered traverse the
|
Hose Cos No. 8 and were the com
petitors and right well did they strive
for the honors.
On the first trial Hose 8 made the
first run. Their friends were legion and
when. after the splendid run and the
yell for water, the coupling at the first
joint from the hydrant broke loose
deluging the men with water, the
crowd shouted with laughter and their
partisans groaned in misery.
Hose then took the stand. They
duplicated the performance so nicely
and so completely that the crowd
howled and the friends of Hose sim
ply roared The funniest thing of the
bunch was that the pipeman had just
finished saying: How nice that does
go on when the coupling broke.
The disastrous results Of the first
trial led to a mutual agreement for an
other race. They lined up as usual and
when the result was announced for
each-2O1a seconds-a tie-the excite
ment grew apace and the crowd held
every point OF vantage, in spite of the
showers from the heavens.
For the third time they lined up.

all the connections in 81 seconds. Hose
3 did the same thing in 10 seconds and
their friends made the air resound with

The streets were lined all along the
way and there was burst after burst of
applause as some feature took the
fancy of the people before whom it was
passing. 1t was magnificent spectacle
for a city of Waterville's size. With
very few exceptions only local firms
and organizations We're represented, so
that the parade may be called wholly
Waterville's. Few cities of 1000 people
have turned out a better one or man
aged it more smoothly or successfully.
1t would be impossible to do full JUS
tice to all of the beautiful features and
perhaps some have been inadvertently
missed but the sincere thanks of the
city are due everyone who participated
The following may give some idea of
some of the special features of the
parade:
