TEAcHRES QUIT THE PROFESSION

Gate City, Va, Jan. The
extensive railroad building
going on in this county has
produced a great change i'm con
ditions generally Instead of
seeking positions as clerks ia
stores, young men are turning
60 the more lucrative employ
ment offered them by the rail-
road companies. Many Of the
teachers of the county have al
SO gone TO the railroads, and it
begins TO look like teachers will
have 10 be imported or many of
the school houses stand idle.
This fact is especially notice
able in the attendance at Shoe
maker G Ollege e this term.
Hitherto the spring terms were
crowded with young teachers.
but now there are not a half
dozen in the school.
Some of the teachers are with
engineering corps, others have
secured foremen's places or
good clerical positions on the
road Il is doubted that anv of
them will never go back to the
poorly paid teachers calling
again.
In every line of business the
prices paid on the railroads
have forced higher wages, and
these advances will have TO be
permanently maintained or
business go begging.
The two banks of Gate CITY
are doing an immense amount
of business and there business
is growing at a rapid rate. The
new bank at Clinchport will be
opened soon. Mr.. O. II. Gobble.

But experiments i'm Australia
have shown that much OF the
gold can be extracted in these
cases by a special adaptation of
gold dredging known as the
paddocking process. These de-
posits are formed by the erosion
of anriferous rock formation
and the concentration II the
gold by the action of wind and
