The Ely miner., 1902-07-04

When 1 stepped from the train I did
not step into a small station. as ex-
pected. but into large one built OF
stone. 1t did not seem as if it could be
the Ely depot and at first I thought
had made a mistake. but upon looking
over the door 1 saw the word Ely, and
I knew was right.
When 1 walked up the street I no.
where the Vail hotel used to stand
saw a building twice as large as the
Vail built of brick. I did not know
the place at all. When 1 got to the
hotel I did not see one familiar face.
1 learned that new mines had been
discovered and the population. instead
of being about 4,000 was about 10000.
1 inquired about some of the people
whom l used to know about twenty
years ago. but not one was there. The
next day ! decided to go out and see
the old school-house. but in its stead
stood a mammoth building. with these
words above it, 'The Ely, High School"
AS there was no school in session l
could not visit it. so | continued my
walk through the town. eagerly looking
for some of the old familiar sights OF
my childhood. Very few. indeed, could
be seen. | wondered whether L couid
find the object of my Visit-my old
school-mate for whom was looking
Mae Quayle
At last 1 came to what used to be
called Harvey street. 1t was the pretti-
est street in town. Large, modern
houses. with large green lawns and
dropping shade trees were found on
each side One house in PARTICULAR at
tracted my attention for it was SO
cozy and home-like. Involuntarily L
stopped and glanced toward the door,
which. as [ looked opened, and a moth
er stepped out with two children at
her side-a little boy who reminded me
of Little Lord Fauntleroy, and little
girl a few years younger. with blae
eyes and curly golden hair. The mo-
ment I saw this mother l knew who she
was. and she at once knew me. and we
were delighted to see each other.
went in and spent a most delightful
afternoon telling how 1 had seen all
my old schoOl-mates and how they had
prospered in life.
She listened very intently.. and then
said. 'I am glad that my school-mates
have all become great men and women
whose names will be handed down III
history 1 know mine will not be re-
corded in the history written by. men,
but 1 hope my name, the name of your
school-mate. Mae Quayle. will be re-
corded in the Book of Life for having
done my duty as a mother and wife"
That night compared the lives of my
school-mates and / knew none were
doing more good. living nobler lives
and were more happy than my old
friend Mae Quayle.

BerrviIIe Female Institute.

Attention is directed to the adver-
tisement in another column solicit
ing patronage for the Berryville
Female Institute for the fifth session,
commencing in September, on the
part of its principals, Misses Gold
and Mcdonald. 1t gives us pleasure
to recommend this Institute, not
only in the interest of the we'll known
and well qualified teachers, but be
cause it is a credit to our town to
have here such an excellent female
school. The young lady Principals
deserve the encouragement of parents
having young daughters to educate,
for their experience and thorough
qualification, coupled with patient,
pains-taking teaching, merit it. The
school building is situated in nice
oak grove off the street, in a retired
pleasant part of the town, with
beautiful SHADY play grounds.
We reiterate our pleasure in thus
briefly commencing the school.

Without reprOach and without fear"
With heart and front undaunted;
No grander Roman had we here
When strength and truth were wanted.
His earnest, honest, deeds of might
Our loyal hearts have noted,
Which, on the foughten field for right,

Such fame his worth has won her.

Untouched OF innovations,

Nor knight ftom any quarter,

When duty gave the order
Patient and brave 10 bear life's ills
When nothing more can right them,
Because we know that so God wills
Is knightlier than to fight them.
How long he sat stuped to the lips,
In anchors tear-soaked meadow,
To watch, to wait, iifes slow eclipse
Enfold him in its shadow.
But, Oh. what crown that brow awaits.

The New Constitution.

With this issue We hoist our flag
under tire new Constitution. This
action on our part is for better or
worse. for richer or poorer. We are
full of hope for the future: We have
no regrets for the part.
Oh Virginia, under the new Con-
stitntiou, can drink from the foun-
tain of prosperity;'she could not DO
SO under the old. Under the new she
had reached attenuated age.
Now with all of her old time spirit
rejuveuated, with all of her energies
on the qui rire, let her daughters on
the East and the West, the North aud
the South, stand from under, because
their Old Mother is going to cut a
swath, and is going to insist upon re-
spect. and admiration at the hands
of her daughters.
She is going to rake over her fires
aud ,et the foundries in blast. She
it going to dig up her hills, and see
what is in them, and what can be
done with their contents. She is 60
ing to build, manufacture, and culti-
vate. Corporations shall have a lood
place and must keep it,aud not trans
gress beyond their Legitimate limits.
The man who follows the pillow shall
have better chance than before.
The young men of the State will
no longer have to go beyond the
borders to find work and honest paw.
Children Will be educated toward
labor and not away from it. And
our Good Old State will be an empire
within herself. SO may it be.
