New Bank LedgerS Installed

In its effort to keep abreast with
the latest patents and improve
ments in banking, the Bank, of
Clarke County has just installed
the loose-leaf ledger system OF
books. The new system does away
with the old and cumbersome
bookkeeping system, adds mater
tally to the speed and ease with
which accounts can be balanced at
any moment, and generally lightens
the labor of keeping a large set of
banking house accounts. 1t is un-
doubtedly the latest thing in led
gers, and will prove of vast con-
venience to the bank and its
patrons, as any customer can be
told in half minute exactly how
his account stands and how much
cash he has to his credit.

w lncneSJer. a,
March 81, 1907.
TO the Teachers of Clarke County
Virginia.
| take this medium TO inform YOU
that the Department of Public In
struction has decided to hold a
summer normal in the city of Win
chester again this year, for the sole
benefit of those teachers residing
in the counties of Northern Virginia.
The success Of this school last year
merits your loyal support and pat
ronage again this year.
1t will be the aim of those in
charge of the same this year. a.
last, to make it very practical in
every way and to furnished such
INSTRUCTION as will meet the de-
mands of those for whom the school
was, in the main, established the
rural teachers. Those who attend
ed last year can bear testimony to
the fact that it was conducted on q
practical basis, that the teachers
received practical instruction and
didpracticalword in the class room.
No "high-priced lecturirg" will be
tolerated.
The Curriculum will be substan-
tally the same as last year. In
struction in the branches recently
added 10 the list of those already
required for the First Grade certi-
icate-Drawing, Algebra, English
or General History, one Branch of
Science, either Physics, Physical
Geography, or Agriculture, will
receive Special attention so that
those who are not familiar with
those branches can have a chance
to acquire sufficient knowledge of

As large a percentage of teachers
passed creditable examinations al
the end of the session of the Win
chester Normal as at any normal
in the State, the School of Methods

AS to actual expenses. / verify
believe Winchester is the cheapest
normal in the State. The conduc-
tor made a personal investigation
last summer and found that no
teacher in attendance paid over
$500 per week for board which
was good enough for anybody.
For various reasons, it is esti-
mated that the state will be 1000
First Grade teachers short this
coming season. 1t behooves ali
those who are now holding Second
and Third Grade certificates to
make an effort to obtain a First
Grade certificate for il means a
better position and better salary.

AGAIN TRIES
TO END LIFE.
Walter WOgIOm Attempts TO
Throw Himself Before Train and
to Jump from Window.
FINALLY PLACED IN ASYLUM.

Walter Woglom, who attempted to
commit suicide yesterday morning by
cutting his throat with knife In the
rear of William Walters residence on
Jefferson street, was taken to the
state asylum at Trenton yesterday af-
ternoon by Patrolman John Whit
worth, Thomas Johnson and George
Woglom, his brother.
The party left this city shortly af-
ter O'Clock and went by trolley to
Metuchen While waiting at the
railroad station for the train at Me-
tuchen, Woglom tried to elude his
guards and throw himself in front of
the train. He was caught in time,
however, and held until the train
stopped. He was placed on the train
in seat with his brother George. Pa
trolman Whitworth sat in the seat
back of him, and Thomas Johnson
across the aisle. When the train was
near Stelton Woglom made dive for
the open window, which he had rais-
ed upon entering the train at Me-
tuchen.
The mans body was nearly through
the window when his guards caught
him and dragged him back. Before
he was secured he made another at
tempt to get through the window. Pa
trolman Whitworth placed the hand
cuffs on him and he was taken to the
asylum without further difficulty. AS
he was being taken into the gate at
the asylum he was affected with a
slight fit.
Woglom declares that he will kill
himself and said yesterday before
leaving town that they would never
get him to the asylum alive, and had
1T not bee for the vigilance OF his
guards he would have succeeded in
his attempts to end his life.
DR.. w. e. Ramsay, who made out
the commitment papers. says that
Woglom is there for life and that he
is affected with one of the most dan
gerous kinds of insanity.
