ADDRESS MADE
By Ex-superintendent Newton, of This
County, to Parkersburg High
School classe.

Superintendent New.on, OF Harrison
county, made very interesting address
to the High School classes this after
noon, says the Parkersburg Dispatch. He
is very pleasant talker and at once
won approval from his listeners. He
spoke of the advantages of school life in
preparing one for any occupation they
may choose later, and impressed upon
the students the trouble they were Great
ing for themselves by playing 'shooiy.' p
He made special mention of the benefits
to be derived from the High School Ii
brary and cautioned the girls against
modern "love stories," and to the boys
he pointed out the evils that result from
reading the "five cent" literature OBJ
tainablc at all news stands. 1t is need
less to say his talk was appreciated by
both teachers and students.

naturoQ Cr0WQ. Even PRESIDENT
Francis was laughing when he for
mally announced the opening of the
fair-or so have been told was
too far off to see him laugh, and
could not have heard him for the
noise. After the parade had passed
us by, we then turned our attention
to the open buildings. The Palace
of Electricity was the first to be ex-
plored. Here on every side the
results of the genious of Edison'' appeal
ed to the eager sight seer. The OK
hibits were not near all in place, but
twas enough to interest any one
even though they knew as little
about electricity as I. We went
from here to the Transportation
building, and just as we reached it's
threshold some one said, 'Iook," we
turned and saw marching before us,
the PHILIPPINE soldiers. We didn't see
these when we visited their grounds,
and one can scarcely believe, after
seeing the ores out there that these
came from the same country. They
don't belong to the same tribe, they
are more civilized and are not dog
eaters. They make good looking lit
tie brown soldiers. They ara all
small and about the same size. They
are we'll drilled-handled their guns
quite gracefully, and seem to be very
proud of their bright new uniforms.
There is no telling what can be made
of even the most savage race when
they fall into the hands of America
We watched and admired them some
little time, then continued our
journey. In the Transportation build
ing we found every conceivable mode
of travel, from the OK cart to the most
elegantly furnished cars in the world.
No palace is more magnificent than
this beautiful exhibition of Pullmans.
Methinks, if were aboard one of
these I'd never get travel-worn, or
reach the place I would want to get
off--unless 1t should chance to run
through Fannin, but I fear this
pleasure will never be mine, for
modern cars don't run that far off the
track.
When our visit here was ended, we
passed over the bridge to the Educa-
tional building. It would take
volumes to tell what here greeted our
eyes. All schools in the world are
represented-showing with what
progress education is being advanced.
l looked for our Mississippi exhibits
and found it, but it was not yet
opened. We wandered about here,
till the sun was far down the western
horizon and then started leisurly
toward the Louisiana monument. We
were tired after tramping all day, but
suddenly we felt our feet going faster,
our ears had caught sweet strains of
music from afar off, and our tired
bodies were fairly bounding along in
the direction from whence it came.
Sousa's band was playing and when
I say this, all is told. You have
heard of this grand musician. Soon
we reached the grand band stand,
where thousands of people stood,

A dummy ride is indeed great
sport, my first trip being of greatest

took UP the remnants of the wreck,
thence to a mill for lumber, then
having some time to wait for one
train to load, we at last reached our
destination, feeling very much like
resting, ajtho' enjoyed the trip to the
fullest extent.
There is turpentine still about
one half mile from here, beautifully
situated on the bank of Biloxi creek,
