The Valley Seminary.

The new session of this school began
on Wednesday, and its prospects are
unusually good. A number of the pu'
pills of last year have returned and new
pupils have been enrolled from sever al
States. On account of her mother g
health Miss Wingo was unable to re-
turn, and she will be sadly by both
faculty and pupils. Her place will be
ably filled by Miss N. Reid Francis, OF
White Gate, Va, she was educated at
Montgomery Female College, gradual
ed from Oxford College, Ohio, and has
studied at Miami University and the
University Of Chicago. She has had
considerable experience and comes high
ly recommended by we'll known edu-
Gators in this and other States.
Another valuable accession to the
faculty is Miss Mary Watkins, who will
be at the head of the departments OF in
strumental music. Miss Watkins re-
ceived her musical education at Peace
Institute and studied also in New York.
She is a performer of some note as
well AS teacher of many years expert
ence.
Miss Guy has been studying this sum-
rner at the University of West Virgin
la. She will return 10 few days.
M;uo (iainas the DODular teacher of
the primary department, is back again.
and the prospects are that she will
have larger number Of pupils than
ever before.

A Might on Broadway.

Not what you have seen every time
that you have attended q musical COM
edy, but something different, with a
we'll defined plot, and characters that
necessitate actors of ability. That is
why Murray and Mack chose the new
est edition of ga Night On Broad way"
for the present season. There are SO
people in the cast, led by those always
funny fellows, Chas. Murray and Ollie
Mack, and the petite soubrette, Kittie
Beck. While neither chorus nor a
series Of vaudeville acts were necessa-
ry to the success of the comedy, the
management have lavishly provided
for both, and those competent to speak
critically of such things say there
never was more artistically or har-
moniously gowned chorus, than the
one in "a Night on Broadway" which
will be the offering at the opera hous e
tomorrow saturday. night.

In a conversation with some wealthy
Pittsburg capitalists recently, who are
staunch Republicans, they informed
us that if the Democrats would only
nominate safe, conservation man for
President there would be no doubt
about bis beating Roosevelt. Since
his dispatching of our fleet into Turk
ish waters without consultation with
any one, they say they have had
enough, but we gathered from their
conversation that it was his pestiferous
meddling with the labor problems
which was their real grievance. For
this they would knife him and sink it
deep. But their trouble seems to be
that they want Cleveland, they might
take German. But inasmuch as they
must RELY on the Democratic party
helping them out, they think the first
hopeless, the second doubtful. Yet
they are ready to help defeat Roosevelt
whom they seem to regard as dema.
gogue, and at heart siding with labor
as against capital. They in terms said
they would rather undertake to handle
dynamite than such an uncertain
quantity as he.

The people of Chase City met a few
days ago and passed resolutions con-
demning Gov. Montague for granting
a respite of 80 days to Doc Bacon who
was to have been hung for assault.
The Governor had refused this respite
up to the very last moment, and then
only granted 1t at the urgent request
of the Commemorative Attorney who
had tried the case. The residents of
Chase City seem hard pressed for
something to do, and hungry for
blood. We take 1t that their princi.
pal amusing event has been interferred
with and as time must hang heavily
on the hands of the average Chase
Citizen, II was just little unkind in
the Governor to deny them the only
pleasure of the season.

Horses and Cattle at The st. Louis
EXPOSITION.

To our readers in this great stock |!
county of Augusta, and in view espec-
tally of the added interest in horse |
flesh which has been aroused by the |
recent organization here of the asso-
citation for having a horse show in
Stannton next year. the following ac-
count of what is proposed to be done
at the st. Louis exposition in the Live
Stock Department, will be interesting:
The amount set apart for prizes is
$3.50, 900. or more than the aggregate
| of the appropriations made by all pre-
vious international expositions for
live stock prizes. The Columbian ex
position appropriated $l42,50O, which
was generally considered at the time
an enormous sum for such purpose.
In addition to the $3.50, 900 appropriate
ed by the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition, special prizes will be offered by
many live stock associations and indi-
viduals. The Live Stock Department
will have 80 acres of ground and about
so buildings. There will be 33 barns
each to accommodate so to 80 horses
r or cattle, and several others somewhat
. smaller; four Octagonal barns 10Ox100
feet, to accommodate COWS to be used
in dairy demonstration, with silos
and feed barns; grand amphitheater
t and arena, 250x450 feet, for an exhibit
: ring; and building for public GALES
d of live stock and for stockmen's CON
Q ventions, in which will also be made
t the exhibits and demonstrations witt
j. relation to live stock under the au
}. spices of the Association Of American
= agricultural Colleges and Experiment
l. Stations.
J, In addition to the classes of horses
n generally shown, number OF other
10 will compete, including artillery, cav
l. airy. ambulance, fire department, ex
IL press and police department horses
le The prizes offered for cattle, sheep an
swine will also have a wide range
l. One of the most interesting and in
