StonewaII Jackson Institute
For Young Ladies.
ABINGDON. Va.

One of the surest signs of the
development of the South is the
prosperity of it's schools. We note
with real congratulation the sue
cess of Stonewall Jackson !nsti-
tute for Young Ladies, at Abing'
don, Virginia.
There are few schools, if any,
in the country that are doing a
greater work for our girls. The
teachers come into close personal
touch with them, thus creating a
real home atmosphere. In a
quiet, unostensible way, the
school impresses it's stamp OF cul-
ture, refinement and high chris
tan character upon the pupils.
It has a high curriculum, ex--
cellent advantages in music, and
the usual extras required IN
schools for girls; and in addition,
it is keeping abreast with the
demands of the times and the
changed conditions in the south
by having an industrial depart
ment, in which cooking, sewing
and wood carving are taught
practically.
Abingdon ranks first in health
in the state of Virginia according
to the statistical report of the
year, and the school has always
been noted for the care taken Of
the health of it's pupils.
Under the present administra-
ton, improvements have been
made amounting to $50. 100000,
and more are contemplated.
This excellent institution be-
longs to the Abingdon Presby-
terry, not to private individuals,
and is run for the benefit of the
people, and not as a money max
ing machine; hence the low price
charged as compared with other
schools of equal scholastic ad-
vantages.
Parents with daughters to be
sent from home to be educated
would do well to consider the
merits of the Stone wall Jackson
Institute of Abingdon, Virginia.

BRAINS TRIUMPHANT.

Just keep your eye on the President.
Watch the development of Bailey's
abortive onslaught; and you will soon
realize what brains mean in the hand
ling of men and measures of supreme
importance. Theodore Roosevelt never
lies: neither to friend nor foe; and
when he is through with the Tillman-
Bailey combination, the real animus of
putting the piteh-fork specialist from
Tennessee in charge of such measure
as the rate bill, will be manifest to the
stupidest citizen in the country. This
is the moment for pyrotechnics, the
moment for "dull thuds" will announce
itself bit later. And once again it
will be demonstrated that brains and
cleanliness and patriotic honesty are
inseparable.

THE LOGIC OF 1T.

Why, in the name of all that is regu-
lar and patent, and honest, should the
twenty odd thousands of major republi'
can votes in the State of Oregon be
swept aside to make room for the min.
ority party" of the State! What con-
cievable basis can be laid for such
action! Where is the logic of it! With
a ticket in the field that simply eX-
hausts the wisdom and good faith Of
the people who chose it to represent
them in the official organism, and with
absolutely nothing to counter-act it by
way OF opposition that exeels it at any
point, this talk of the probable or pos
sible, success of George Z. Chamberlain.
in the gubernatorial race, is idiotic. The
very access of power the republicans
know to be theirs should be ample to
settle the question even now, the re-
suit of the polling being merely by way
of recorded fact. The republican who
doubts the outcome of the election. is
inoculated with some untoward "bee,"
and will bear watching. The very abb
surdity of the proposition must beget
suspicion of the man who, as a republi-
can, gives it voice or encouragement.
From James Withycombe, for governor,
to Republicans Americus, for constable,
the republican ticket, must, and shall
be elected.

HAS KEPT HER HEAD.

San Francisco has been wonderfully
fortunate in Excepting her head" in the
frightful uproar of the holocaust that
swept her like a simeon of disaster. Her
officers and her people have never given
up, for moment the splendid control
of the situation, and the people, they
assumed in the very hour of the vista
ton, and it is to this marvellous pres
ence of mind that is due, in infinite
measure, the superb reaction and the
universal praise that is hers. She was
"dead game" all through, and cities, like
men, are commended for pluck.

CITIZEN, SKIDoo!

No more shall the mystic slogan OF
