~ ENERAL HORACE PORTER,
49, United States ambassador to

% ENERAL HORACE PORTER,
~ United States ambassador to
France, is the man to whom
is due most of the credit for
the finding of the remains of John
Paul Jones in Paris and their identiti=
cation beyond all possibility Of doubt.
For FIVE years the ambassador has
been agitating the matter both in
america and III France. He organized
at his own expense systematic over
hauling of the mortuary records of the
Paris Of a century ago. General Por
ter met with innumerable delays and
ANNOUNCEMENTS in the prosecution of
the search. Historians differed con-
Corning the resting place Of the hero.
The archives relating to the matter
were burned during the stormy times
of the French revolution and the COM
lmune Of 1871. The national assem-
bly, which sent delegation to the adj
miral's funeral failed to keep any rec
ord of the burial place. Finally, how
ever, as the result Of General Porter's
logged refusal to give up the search
lsome clews were found which led d.
lrectly to the abandoned st. Louis GEM
etery, which has long been covered
with small houses and shops. There
the body was found.
The man whose remains lay unknown
and unhonored In Paris for more than
century was the greatest naval gen.
ius Of his time He was decorated by
the king of France, by the empress Of
Russia and by the congress of the

Telephone Meeting at BIoomtown.

Representative business men, far
mers and professional men held a
meeting at BlOomtown last week, DR..

decided to take stock in the Accom-

and will be operated in the interest of
the AccOmack and Northampton peo-
pie. Consequently the Telephone
Company has commenced work on the
Bayside; they are hauling poles, and
will push the work to completion
through this section at once, which

The teachers of Accomac will hol(
their annual meeting at OnancOck OF
Thursday and Friday of next weel
and a glance at the program Il
enough to convince everyone that The
proceedings will beintereshng and in
structive. That the meeting is an I'M
portant one no one will question who
feels an interest in the prosperity of
their county and the welfare of all of
its citizens. That those of us, who
have children to educate, have an in
terest in the work of the teachers tc
whom are intrusted in a great degree
their mental as we'll as moral train
ing, is proposition too self evident
to be debatable-and others have
scarcely less interest in them who
have business enterprises to be pro-
NOTED and made more valuable to
them. In, fact there is no band OF
workers whose influence is more WIDE
ly felt, to whom we are under greater
obligations or to whom we should
give more loyal support in the work
done by them, but We must not make
the mistake of thinking that our en-
enlargement is all that is needed. 1t
is our duty to see that they are made
more comfortable by building better
schOolhouses and that they are better
paid for their services for a session,
not of five or six months, but for nine
months in every year. In this con-
nectiOn too it is pleasure to us to be
able to say that our superintendent,
Mr.. G. G.. JOynes, is ever on the alert
to promote the interest OF the schools
and that under his efficient manage
ment they are now among the best in
the State.
That the annual meetings held by
the teachers are helpful to them can
not be questioned. They need them to
broaden their views and to stimulate
them in the great work in which they
are engaged and a teacher who is not
sufficiently interested in them to at
tend should be retired. The teachers
cannot be a success who are not pro-
gressive, and cannot be progressive
who do not avail themselves OF theOp-
porIunities presented to post them
selves in up-tO-0ate methods in school
work. The teacher, who is so we'll sat
istied with his stock of knowledge as
not want to add to it, is not likely
to be wanted long by the parents who
want their children taught properly.
1t goes without saying, that the
teachers have our best wishes for
pleasant and profitable session next
week. In any town in which they as
semble it should belong TO them for
the time, and the hearty welcome
which the people of Onancock will
give them next week viii, doubtless,
make them feel that they own the
most of it. Nothing, at least, in our
opinion, is too good for them.

No Poison In ChamberIain's Cough
Remedy.

From Napier New Zealand, Herald
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board
of New South Wales, Australia, had
an analysis made of all the cough
medicines that were sold in that mar
ket. Out of the entire list they found
only one that they declared was en-
tirely free from all poisons. This ex-
ception was Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, made by the Chamberlain
Medicine Company, Des Moines, Iowa,
U. S. A. The absence of all narcotics
makes this remedy the safest and best
that can be had; and it is with feel
ing of security that any mother can
give it to her little ones. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is especially
recommended by its makers for
coughs, colds, Group and whooping
cough. When taken in time it pre-
vents pneumonia. This remedy is for
sale by

The following from The Times
Union, the leading newspaper of
Florida, is one of similar articles in
regard to our countyman, which have
been published from time 10 time in
the best newspapers of the country:
"NIr. w. T. Bundick of the Old
Dominion State delivered an address
in three of the churches in Jackson
vile yesterday, and measured fully
up to the standard set by the advance
announcements. In fact it was said
by many prominent citizens and COM
petent judges that for eloquence, log
ic, pathOs and power, his lectures
have never been surpassed by any
speaker that has visited this city.
1t was said by many visitors that
the lectures were the finest and best
they had ever heard anywhere. He is
a born orator, man ofnatiOnal repu-
tatiOn, and his lectures are perfectly
clean, chaste, convincing and on an
exceedingly high plane. They are of
high literary character and well
suited for the churches on the Sabbath
day.
He captures his auditors from the
start and holds them to the finish. He
gives ofiense to no one, but interests
all with his smoOth-flowing yet force
full and convincing arguments"
The reputation which our county
man has made for himself is very
gratifying to us and the more 50 for
the reason, that it is justly merited
praise. No one can hear him without
being impressed by his eloquence and
the ''clean, chaste and convincing''
way in which his views are presented.
