Sept. 1.-THE above date remind.
us that summer is past and gone and
that we have entered the season SO
fifty emblematic of ourselves. We
must soon again "See the leaves
around us falling, dry and withered,
to the ground.
The summer just ended was, in this
locality, | suspect, the dryest of any
within the knowledge of any one now
living, and the drought, in all it's
severity, still continues.
Mrs. II. A. Lackey, who has been
critically i'll for two weeks, was taken
on yesterday, to DR.. Maps Hospital
in Buena Vista, for treatment. Her
friends are anAiOusly hoping that
under the Doctors skillful hands she
may be relieved of a sore affection.

known as II missionary to Brazil, is

climate. He is looking remarkably
well. His wife's health is somewhat
but hopes a short stay in
this climate may suffice to restore
her.
Mrs. Sallie Shewey, who has been in
very bad health for several months,
seems to be nearing the end, and her

The Jamestown Exposition,1 1907

The Jamestown Exposition, 1 9O7
Mr.. j. M. Quisenberry, along
with other members of the General
Assembly, has received from Mr..
CT. Shepherd of Norfolk, secretary
of the jamestown Exposition Com
pany, a circular letter setting forth
interesting facts connected with
the Booth anniversary of the settle
ment of jamestown in 1907 by the
English. This date records the
most important event in the history
of the United States, for here
were laid the foundations for the
first settlement of the English
speaking people in America.
At the next session of the Legis-
lature a bill will be introduced
asking for an appropriation from
the State of an amount sufficient
to carry to a successful completion
the plans already outlined for the
celebration of this notable event.
1t is the sense Of the committee
that at least 5000, 1000 should be
appropriated by the State of Vir-
ginia, 100000 a year for two
years, the amount to be paid when
the Jamestown Exposition Com
pany shall have raised $1,000, 600
and complied with all the other
provisions of it's charter.
The jamestown Exposition will
be held at Norfolk in 1907, and it
promises to be one of the most
interesting occasions in our
nations history. Already other
States are becoming interested in
the celebration and are taking
steps to make appropriations for
Congress will be asked
Tor an appropriation to assist in
,he celebration. But it is under
stood that before any help can be
from the national gov
,rnment, Virginia must show her
and interest in this
great enterprise by first making
IN appropriation which the event
ustIfies and deserves. !

scOURGE OF WISE COUNTY

Wise county, in this State, is
fighting what appears to be a
particular malignant epidemic Oh
smallpox, and has carried away
some of the best citizens of the
county, and all efforts to sue
cessfuly combat it has been futile.
A writer in the Richmond News
from Gate City says residents are
experiencing great deal of trouble
with the people fleeing from the
plague-stricken districts and says
more than thirty persons
passed here yesterday. One white
man was put off of a freight train
a few miles west of here, who
evidently was taking the disease.
He came to the guard stationed on
the road and said he wanted to get
to his home near Bristol. The
guard permitted him to 60 around
the town. He was very ill, and
the train crew was sure he had the
smallpox. Most of the refugees
have no money and are tramping
their way, or trying to steal rides
on the freight trains. They are in
a pitiable condition. 1t is almost
impossible for them to obtain any
food because the people are afraid
of them, and it is impossible for
them to find any employment.
They all claim to be trying to get
back to their homes, The food

Lamb has decieed to resign his field
in Botetourt and Rockbridge coun-
ties to attend the next session OF the
Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary, at Louisville, KY. He expects
to leave for Louisville some time in
October.
The work of preparing the founda-
tions for the Botetourt Artillery
monument was begun last Monday.
Miss Sue Douthat, to whose Jealous
aid for the success of the efforts to
build the monument much credit is
due, loosened the earth, and Mrs. w
B. Thompson, who has also given much
assistance, removed the first shovel
full. Mr.. w. B. Thompson, whose

the association have been indispens-
able, was one of the interested specta-

the building of the foundation.
Roy Hickman, a white boy, and
Cluch Bannister a colored youth,
were at Indian Rock. Hickman had
the deadly pistol. and in some way it
went off, the ball entering Cluch' s
side just below the ribs in front, and
lodgingin his back where it still re-

moned. He was unable to follow the
course of the ball, which however
does not seem to have penetrated any
vital parts. Cluch has been doing
