A CARD.

To the Voters of Augusta county and
City of Staunton:
After the first day of February, 1904,
all the business now done by the Coun-
ty and Circuit Courts of Augusta eoun-
ty, will be done by the Circuit Court
of which | am clerk, the County Court
being abolished after that date.
AS was for more than twenty years
an assistant to the late William A.
Burnett in the Office of County Clerk,
and as | have been for nine years Clerk
of the Circuit Court, l believe my ex-
perience justifes me in asking the peO-
pie to re elect me to the position of
Clerk of the Circuit Court by which all
the Court business will then be done.
For the efficiency shown by me in the
past in the County and Circuit Court
offices, refer to the people, the bar
and the judges.
In view of my long friendship for the
late VIM. A. Burnett, my appreciation
of the wishes of his friends, and my ap-
probation of the services of his son,
the present clerk of the County Court,
l shall gladly retain Mr.. Harry Bur
nett as my assistant in the new Office,
on such liberal terms as may be agreed
upon.
AS my time is too fully occupied in
the Circuit Court office for an extended
canvass at present, l simply take this
method of Informing my friends of my
candidacy, in the hope of its meeting
as generous and kindly reception as
they have always accorded me hereto
fore-a generosity and kindness that
I think gives them the right to be early
advised of my intentions.
Very respectfully yours,
Jos. B. WOODWARD.

OF the evening and a source of much
amusement, was the punching of the

with candy was suspended from the
chandelier and when all the young peo-
peie were assembled beneath it the bag
was punched open and the candy scat
tered among the youngsters, who had
a lively scramble to get as much of it

Mary Baldwin Seminary Opens.


The Mary Baldwin Seminary opened
yesterday with the best pOspects it ever
had, which is saying much when it is
remembered that last year there were
$50 pupils, of which 142 were boarders
from twenty some States The large
institution has been the scene of hustle
and preparation for week or two,
getting ready for the opening. One of
the features was receiving and putting
in place eleven new Clarke pianos,
considerably more than a car load.
These are only part of the musical
equipment, there being forty-6ve
pianos distributed among forty music
rooms.
Mr.. W. w. King, the business man
ager, has had large force of carpen-
tiers and painters at work all summer,
adding, improving and identifying,
with rare executive ability and good
taste. The improvements added to the
school in the way of buildings and
furnishings since the death of Miss
Mary Julia Baldwin. amount to $40,-
800. Miss E. G. Weimar, the accom-.
plished principal, returned from her
restful vacation, is with her corps of q
teachers, engrossed in the cOngenial,
but arduous task of receiving and
Classifying the pupils, making the
new ones feel at home and welcoming
back the old ones where they know
from experience that they are at home,
while Mrs r. s. Hamilton, the matroD,
and Mrs. Bette Withrow Chase, the
housekeeper, though they have corps
of 25 trained servants to do their bid
ding, have all that they can do in room
ing the scores of girls and making
them comfortable in the handsome
rooms and parlors. which they are to
occupy for so many months to come.
The scene is like that at a popular
watering place or big summer hotel at
the opening of the season, only the
husbands and beaux are lacking and
one sex alone crowds the walks, gal
leries. halls and pariors. Indeed a
Chicago patron who had just gone over
the buildings, being especially i'm
pressed with the admirable sanitary
arrangements, beautiful buildings and
cool, breezy location, remarked: "If
you would only close up this school and
open hotel right here you would have
the most popular resort in the country.
The United States Weather Bulletin
which has had its agents examining
the large schools of the country, gen
orally without the knowledge of the
management, and in this instance en-
tirely so, says in its August issue !:
Among the schools that met with the
general approval of the experts inyes-
tigating these matters for us, and
which we have no hesitation in rec
ommending to our readers is the Many
Baldwin Seminary for young women
at Stanton, Va"
The fact that this seminary is the
only one named in the editorial of the
New York journal quoted, and that it
was a distinct surprise to the manage
ment makes this the highest compli-
ment that the seminary could haye
received.
