The average girl of the present day,
says an exchange, is of few ideas and
full of nonsense. She appeareth on the
street clad in much fine raiment and
hunteth up beau at whose expense she
drinketh soda water until the setting of
the sun. She cheweth her gum in the
morning, and when evening approached.
10, she is still chewing! She getteth the
notion into her head that she can sing,
and warbleth till her father becometh an
habitual drinker and the neighborhood
getteth out an injunction. She goeth
forth to party gowned in dress that is
too short at the top and too long at
the bottom, and giggleth till the night
waxeth old. She lieth abed in the morn.
ing until the eleventh hour, while her
mother humpeth about and doeth the
Homework. She sigheth for a husband
with a long mustache and plenty of
money,-but finally marrieth fellow
who smoketh cigarettes and holdeth up
two fingers to the barber when he getteth
a shave.

Cadets Defeat Tar Heels Last
Friday

The Virginia Military Institute
football eleven defeated the team
from Davidson College of North
Carolina last Friday afternoon six
to nothing in the hardest fought
game played in Lexington this
season. The visitors came to
Lexington with the record of not
having been scored against this
season.
The cadets put in thcir regular
team, and the game from start to
finish was fine exhibition of
clean football. Both teams fire.
auontly resorted to punting. The
cadets outplayed their doughty
opponents and made repeated
gains by hard line -bucking. At
the end OF the first half neither
side had scored, but the ball was
in Cardinals territory on the
fifteen yard line.
At the opening Of the second
half the so,tiier boys took a brace
aud hammered their opponents
line for touchdown. Once again
they had the ball dangerously neur
Carolina's goal when costly FUN
BILE caused them to iose the ball.
The playing OF Captain James
and Beckner for the cadets was
especially good, and Captain
Fetzer ard Wymnn were excellent
ground gainerg for .he visitors.
4 $500 crowd witnessed the
game. 1t is said many bets were
made and several hundred dQl!urs
changed hands as the rssrlt of

ROCkbridge Went Democratic in
Yesterdays Election

| leSteruay'S EleCtlOn
The election in Rock bridge yes
terday was exceedingly quiet and
without special incident. The
weather was unusually fine, but
notwithstanding this, the vote
was surprisingly small. Ordinari-
ly, the county goes Republican in
presidential elections, but this
time old Rockbridge takes her
stand in the Democratic ranks.
The majority In the county and
Buena Vista is $50.
During the campaign very little
canvassing was done by the Dem
ocratics, and the only public speak
ing held was the joint discussion
at Lexington between Nj. Flood
and Mr.. Revercomb. The Repub-
licans, on the contrary, canvassed
the county pretty thoroughly and
had a number of spellbinders to
make addresses.
The total vote in Lexington was
414. OF these Parker and Davis
received 220, Roosevelt and Fair
banks 1876 and Swallow, the
Prohibition candidate, 3. Flood |
got 900, Revercomb 1852 and Opie
/. There were 200 straight an
Democratic ballots cast,
and 152 Republican. Twelve bal
OTIS were thrown ont as worthless
md 20 were improperly marked
