Improvements at the University

Prof. John W. Wayland. OF
Bridgewater College, who was here
Monday and yesterday in the in
terest of the University of Vir-
glnla, spoke in the highest terms
OF the great improvements and ad-
ditions which are being made in
all departments of this great school
for the coming session Of 1867.
when it is hoped and firmly be-
lieved a new and high standard of
attendance, excellence and scholar
ship will be maintained.
Each year during the past
Seventy-eight, the University has
increased Its usefulness over pre-
vious years, and the session of
1866 showed an attendance of
72S.
One of the commendable features
now in force at the University IS
the cooperative store. which was
established in the fall of 1905. hay
ING for its object the sale to stu
dents for cash everything which
they may need while at school
there, for the actual cost of placing
such articles in his hands. As IL
lustrating this idea, Mr.. Wayland
mentioned the following instances:
Two law textbooks which have
sold for $3.50 and $500 each.
respectively, are now sold mt the
cooperative store at SI.65 and
SL4Q. Many other articles are
sold at 4 corresponding reduction.
The reduction of the University
fee for Virginia Academic students
toSl0 makes the University of Vir-
gInia one of the great inexpensive
Institutions of America. and. as
the school system is really the
great head of the public school
system of the State, every young
man in Clarke and neighboring
counties who has closed his high
school course should write to the
University for catalogue and bulle-
tins, So that he may thoroughly
post himself upon all matters per
tianing To entrance and studies i'm
the University.

The Lace Trimmed Blouse.

There is no doubt" says Elsie
Morien, in the New Idea Woman's
Magazine for August, that the
combination of laces and fancy
stitches is being overdone, which
fact may cause the disappearance
of lingerie effects at the end of the
summer, or reaction To simpler
styles. While it is still with us.
however, its influence is felt in
many other lines Of wearing APP
parel- Lace has never been more
in vogue, and the combination of
many different varieties. which has
already been mentioned, is greatly
encouraged by the manufacturers,
who produce in the same place
Venetian and Cluny portions, en-
brOidcred batiste motifs on an Irish
all-Over background, or Il Valen-
ciennes medallion with a Cluny
border. OF course. these are not
inexpensive, hut a good piece of
lace Is always good investment.
Making ones own combination for
a yoke or waist front decoration is
Il less expensive method of achiev-
ing equally successful results, es-
pecially If one knows when and
where to pick up odd little Valen-
ciennes or st. Gall medallions,
Italian cut-work squares, or en-
broidered wheels.
Although white is the color for
lingerie styles, the introduction of
a note of color is greatly sought
this season. This is frequently con-
tributed by dainty ribbon en-
broidery applied on the design of
Valenciennes lace, or Insertion i'm
detached flowers. For this pur-
pose the shaded ribbon comes in an
extremely narrow width which,
however, is equally suitable for
treating even the coarser laces i'm

Big Business for Electric Company

At the last meeting of the board
of directors of the Winchester and
Washington Railway and Electric
Company a proposition was re-
ceived from the Shenandoah Ore
and Iron Company, offering to
make a contract TO give the railway
company from $4,000 TO 100000
tons of ore hauling during the first
year after the road is opened.
The Shenandoah Ore and Iron
Company was chartered I'm New
Jersey last April. as stated in the
COURIER at that time, and our pre-
diction as to the intentions of the
company has now been well verified
As was predicted at that time.
the new company was formed for
the purpose Of taking over the
holdings of a similar company
which had been doing business
through this section. but which
had been hampcrcd by a limited
amount of capital. The now COM
pany was formed and Incorporated
with n large capital, which enables
it TO take up and handle expcd;-
tiously and with profit the large
ore operations i'm this section.
With the object In view of secur-
inc frst-class freight service in the
handling Of iron orc from the
mines to the furnaces under its
control, the company laid their Of
fer before the electric and power
company as indicated.
As the officers of the railway
company were not In a position 10
pass upon the offer at this time.
because of the fact that the electric
line has yet TO be laid. the matter
was discussed informally and laid
upon the table for a future meet
ing.
Although nothing positive could
be learned from the officials of the
electric company, we are able To
state on the authority of a man
well versed In business matters.
and one who has taken a keen in
terest in all matters pertaining to
the development and welfare of
this section OF the state, that he has
no doubt that the power company
will, at some future day. take up
and act favorably upon the propo-
sition of the ore company. as q
matter of 10000 to 100. 600 tons of
freight Is a bic item, especially to
a newly opened railroad. and the
price paid for such hauling will
undoubtedly be 4 good one.
Work at the bic power station
at Millvillc Is being pushed as
rapidly aS possible. The work
being done there has been arevela-
tion to everyone i'm its size and
