Chancellor William Waugh Smith,
of the Randolph Macon system of schools
in Virginia, accepted the site for the
location of another school for the sys-

The site includes 40 acres of land q

on a beautiful eminence, and was dona-
ted by Messrs. Z. c. Brooke and S.
Russell Smith.
Fred Schelly, of Logansport, Ind,
so years old, walked twelve miles
to hear William j. Bryan one day
last week, and when he reached the
outskirts of the crowd fell unconscious
from exhaustion and is in a critical
condition. Mr.. Bryan, hearing of the
affair, ordered that Schelly be taken to
a private hospital and cared for at the
Nebraskan s expense.
The new school registers approved
by the State Board of Education are
being distributed to the teachers
throughout the State. The registers
are much smaller than those used here
tofore, and what is more suited to the
people who pay the taxes to support the
schools, they cost less than the old
registers. One will last school for a
full term of nine months, and can easily
be bound for fling and reference. The
new registers cost one and eight-tenths
cents each, while those formerly used
cost the State not less than rs cents.
That is the difference.
Among the interesting facts that have
followed in the wake of the storm that
swept over the South the description of
the warning given by the sea birds is
most engaging, and the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal tells the story as follows:
las early as Sunday night the people of
Mobile had given recognition to the first
flights of Mother Carey's chickens a
rather timorous sea bird, which were
coming in droves from the coast and
passing Mobile in their early haste for
shelter. Monday morning the more
courageous seagulls began to follow in
the path of the timid Mother Carey's
chickens, and later in the day whole
fiocks of pelicans brought up the rear
OF the procession that was headed to
safety. The shrill notes Of these fright
ened birds could be plainly heard above
the din and noise of the busy city. and
In the outskirts their presence had been
widely commented upon and accepted as
sure forerunner of the disaster that
followed so soon after. The people had
no further knowledge of the coming
storm than that supplied by these
aquatic birds, but that was assurance
enough to satisfy all that storm was
invading the coast section, and that it
might take its course up the bay. What
atmospheric conditions sound the note
OF alarm to these birds of the sea and
warns them to seek safety in flight to
the inland bays and lagoons no one has
been able to discover, but their instinct
is unerring and when their fight begins
IL is time to prepare for the storm.

FEARFUL RAILWAY WRECK

by the wrecking of a three-coach
electric train on the West JERSEY and
Seashore Railroad Sunday afternoon at
Atlantic City, N. j., at least sixty pas
sengers persisted, and the list may reach
seventy-fve killed when all is known.
While crossing over drawbridge
spanning the waterway known as ''The
Thoroughfare, the train left the track
and plunged into the water. The pas
sengers in the first two coaches, with
one or two exceptions, were drowned.
This, with a single exception, is the
worst wreck of its kind ever known to
this country.

WATERFOWL are steadily diminish

SOME NOTES
vi Interest to Truckers. Farmers
and Stock Raisers

The greatest corn crop in the history
OF the country is indicated in the report
OF the crop reporting board of the
Bureau of Statistics of the Department
OF Agriculture. The crop is now safe
and it will be about 2,7SO. 600. OOO
bushels.
The land needs rotation of crops: il
requires grass and clover. Fungoid dis
eases and insects are helped far more
by one crop all the time than they are
by regular change of crop at not very
remote intervals. The greater the diff
ference of crops employed in this SER
vice the better. Home and Farm.
If you see an advertisement of a med
icine which claims to cure hog cholera
pay no attention to it. The govern
ment has spent thousands of dollars in
the effort to find a cure, but without
success. The Investigators are still
working on it, though, and hope to find
remedy. Most of the dope sold as
cholera cure is absolutely worthless. =

Now comes the season of our dis
content, when it is to be all road
talk. And we generally get our
pains for our trouble. The excessive
rains of summer and fall leave manv
roads perfect loblolly, and when
freezing and thawiug set in some of
them will have to be abandoned and
temporary by-paths cut. Two of the
most travelled lateral roads in our
county are today in very bad condi-
ton, so early in the season. We refer
to the road from Kilmsrnock to
Christ Church and the one from
White Stone to Irvington. Some
good work was early done on these

Virginia has law demanding that
oysters must be at least three inches

beds This prompts the belief that the
