The Passing of the Old County
Court

The Stanton Dispatch Of last
Friday says: We observe that as
the county courts hold their last
terms about over the State, there are
some very touching memorial ser
vices being held in honor of the
old courts and judges, that in
Rockbridge county being especially
impressive. If Judge w. p. Hous-
ton were actually dead they could
not say nicer things about him,
and we would advise him to lay a
number of these eulogies away, for
reference and use when the last
great summons comes.
Judge Houston has remarka BILE
record in having presided over tho
court Of Rockbridge for lS years,
to the credit of himself and the
county. There is great reason, in
such Gil cumstance, for the express
zion of esteem for the judge, and
regret at the passing of court
that has been so acceptabIy adj
ministered.

V. M. l. Notes

In the recent fever epidemic at
the Virginia Military Institute
there were eleven cases developed,
including one taken sick after
reaching home. All have returned
to dlty except one just discharged
from the hospital and now on sick
leave, and another fully recovered,
but advised by his physician not
to return this year.
OF cadets furloughed in October
all have returned except nine; OF
these, four are to return next Sep
TENDER. This is most gratifying
exhibit of the confidence of the
public, and of the estiW ate OF the
worth of education aud training at
the Virginia Military Institute
There is a cadet in attendance
from New York City, son OF II
Union Civil War veteran. lie is
being e1ucated by some organiza.
zion, and is the especial protege OF
Mrs. John S. Wise. He is an
earnest fellow, and will stand near
