is fitted up-to-date with an excellent
vault and burglar-proof safe. DR.. E.
J. Etheredge, whose business career
has been almost phenominal, is the
president, and w. Aug. Shealy, cash.
Ter. The bank is well Differed with a
strong corps of directors. 1t is bound
to receive it's share of banking busi-
ness. Mr.. J. P. Bodie, the very eff
cient postmaster, is now in his new
and handsome building and the office
is well arranged in every detail. The
Kinard hotel is one of the best in the
State. The fare is unexcelled, and
the service is all that could be ex-
pected; the rooms are airy and attrac-
tive, the beds are Portable, all of
which appeals to the travelling public.
Our friends, Hare & Eargle, editors
and proprietors of the News, are get
ting out good newsy sheet, and the
people of Leesville stand by them in a
manner we'll worth mentioning. These
men are hustlers and the News cannot
help but grow under such manage
ment.
! After completing our days work at
Leesville we left in the rain for Sum-
NIT, where we spent the night with
Mrs. Shealy, the venerable mother OF
Lexington's popular treasurer, and it
is isneedless for us to say that the night
was pleasantly spent, for there is no
place in the county where genuine
old time hospitality abounds more
than at Mrs. Shealy's. At this place
about the. usual number of citizens
turned out to meet us-to pay their
taxes and newspaper dues.
Promptly at 1890 we drove for Gill
bert, the last place of the second
week. Gilbert enjoys fairly good
business and is holding her own. The
merchants sell goods at low prices,
which draws the trade from the sur
rounding country. Messrs. W. H.
Donley, T. S. Sease and the new firm
of Hammond & Hallman, were all
busy. "Prince,' seeming to realize
fully that "there is no place like
home, I've pulled for Lexington,
arriving about 6 p. m.
This week we start at Chaplin on
Tuesday afternoon. This is good
point to meet the citizens of upper
Fork, and we will not be disappointed
in receiving our just dues for The
Dispatch.

Our Virginia Letter.

My dear friend, "Violet and Rose, D

sure about. So far away, I was not
certain that my letters were interest.
ing to very many of your readers.
confess I have been a little selfish, in
that I have been reading the letters
from friends in The Dispatch, but
have given them none in return.
read my old county paper with much
interest, though generally very busy.
I report for three daily papers and
two weeklies. This, however, does
not take much of my time. Besides
my own regular work-preachine
often three times Sunday and doing
very much pastoral work. do much
extra work. During the past spring
and summer I have, made two preach
ing trips of one week each to Carroll
county, right on top of the Blue Ridge
mountains, near the line of North
Carolina. One week T. preached in
the city of Bristol. I have also made
two trips for similar purpose to Sui
livan county, Tenn. Have also
preached in various churches in this
county, as well as in Tazewell, Nor
folk and Newport News. Then I have
a theological student who has moved
here to recite to me, which ordinarily
he does daily.
I have had some trips this summer
much enjoyed. One was in the coal
fields of West Virginia, the other was
to the Jamestown exposition. My
congregation gave me the latter trip,
bearing all the expenses. I may
write briefly of some of my trips, as
the scenery in some cases is very fine.
We have very much enjoyed visits
from some of our friends from South
Carolina this summer. Among them
were Mr.. Black and bride, Rev. Crosse
close, Rev. Yonce and Rev. Wilson.
Rev. P. II. E. Derrick and Rev. H.
P. Counts, two South Carohnians, are
near. The former has resigned his
present work.
While I write this letter, Mrs. Bal
lentine is mingling with friends in
South Carolina. She was unexpect-
edly called to the funeral of her
brother in Georgia, and could not re-
sist coming back by our old home.
She needed very much the rest this
gives, and all the way to get rest was
to leave home. She has had all year
an average of about 25 piano pupils,
teaching from six to ten hours day,
six days in a week. The class is con-
stantly asking when she is coming
back. I know at least a half dozen
other people who will be glad to see
her back.
We have had four good sized SHOWS

Rufus Williams On Trial.

The trial of Rufus Williams, who
assaulted and robbed Mrs. Sallie Glib
son in Texas several months ago,
was begun in San Antonia, Texas, on
Monday. A jury from the regular
panel could not be secured and an
extra venire of 200 was drawn. It is
said that the prosecution has scored a
strong point, inasmu uch as the presid-
ing judge ruled that no witnesses
from South Carolina, Virginia and
New York would be allowed to tes-
tify for the defense.

Apoplexy the Cause-Well Knowa
Here Where He Had Fought Many
Legal Battles.
Judge Andrew Crawford, soldier,
lawyer, citizen and friend, is no more.
Death came to him last Wednesday
like thief in the night" while he
was examining witness in the. court
house in Columbia.
Judge Crawford, to all appearances,
was in the best of health, and those
around him little dreamed that he
was in the least i'll until he asked the
witness to wait moment. He ex-
cused himself from the court, remark
ing, "that he would be back in mo-
ment." Then it was noticed that his
face was pale and his step unsteady.
! He was assisted to the solicitors
/ room, just to the rear of the judges
bench. He sat down on couch and
asked those around him to feel his
heart and pulse, at the same time
asking that a physician be sent for
and in less than five minutes DR.. J.
II. Mcintosh was at his side, but it
was too late, the distinguished advo-
cate had already passed into the
Great Beyond.
Judge Crawford was SO years of age,
and spent all his lifetime in Colum-
bia. He enlisted in the army at the
age of 16, and did valiant service for
his State and the Confederacy. At
the close of the strife he studied law
at the University of Virginia and was
admitted to the bar in 1871. since
which time he has practiced his pro-
fession continuously. He has been
engaged in several important legal
battles in this county and had great
weight with Lexington juries.
He was known and liked by large
circle of friends, who will regret to
learn of his sudden demise. He is
survived by wife and eight children.
His remains were laid to rest in
Trinity church yard on Thursday af-
ternoon. Several members of the
Lexington bar attended the funeral
services.

THE BOYS DON'T
UNDERSTAND 1T
Surprised are the High School Piay-
ers Over the Action Of Superfn-
tendent Burton and HIS
Team. - Some Inter-
esting Statements.

The Sentinel was requested by
members of the High School foot
ball team to give publication to the
following statement:
Several days ago Superintendent
Burton phoned in to Manager Allen
of the Grand Junction High School
Athletic Association and asked II the
boys wouldn't come out the follow
| ing Tuesday and play practice game
with the Indians, taking express care
to emphasize the fact that 1t would
be friendly practice game.
MANY of the boys on the foot ball
team were averse to playing Tues
day; but Manager Allen told them
that he thought they ought to oblige
the indians by playing the game, as
twice before at our request they had
played practice games with the home
team, both of which resulted In a
decisive victory for the Tigers. But.
at the same time, he told the boys
that he would not insist on their
playing, and If any of the boys had
work to do at home, now would be
a good chance to do 1t.
Accordingly many of the boys
took advantage of the opportunity
and stayed out of the game, and the
locals went out to the school with
scrub lineup.
Bunting, the star quarter back of
the Tigers, was feeling unwell and
asked Coach Dodds If he might stay
out OF the game the first half. The
permission was granted, and the IT,
gers went into the game with man
for quarter who had never played
that position in his life. He did as
well as could be expected; but what
could you expect? Arthur, the left
end, had to be removed before the
game was well started on account of
injuries received in the game with
Aspen. Boyer, the left tackle, had
fractured arm. Barber, the left
half, limped all through the game on
account of badly wrehched ankle.
"As whole, the team taken to
the Indian school Tuesday afternoon
could not have been counted super
ior to the Glenwood Springs eleven.
ard everybody knows the result of
the High School-Glenwood game.
"Then imagine the surprise of the
High School body to wake up in the
morning and find that the Daily News
has classified this practice scramble
as a regular game. and had put in
Dig neau lines lndt tue 1lscrs hdu
ben defeated IL to 10.
'The High School foot ball boys
did rot receive any benefit out of the
game and did not expect to; but sim
ply went out with a mixed aggrega-
tion to accommodate the Indians. We
do not know who is responsible for
the write-up. but we do know 1t was
a dirty rotten trick, and 1t certainly
shows ingratitude on the part of the
Indians II they had anything to do
with 1t. If not. it shows that some
body was pretty hard up for news
that they would injure the reputation
ard attendance at the games of their
home team simply to fill up space.
However. the effects are not all
harmful. as the peculiar write-up has
made the Indians think that they
really are At to play the High School
and with this bracer their nerve is
strong enough to match a game for
next Saturday with the champions of
last year. -"

A short time ago Miss Dewey, the
principal of the Lowell school, told
| the children that the boys and girls
in Leadville had no flowers. and
hardly ever saw flower. She asked
them to bring flowers to send to the
children in the mountain city. This
work of love brought joy to the
hearts of our school children, who
readily responded to Miss Dewey S
request. The teachers gladly assist
ed In the work.
The following letter is self-ex-
planatory:
my Dear Miss Dewey:-I cam t
hope to adequately thank you and
the Lowell school children for the
lovely Halloween surprise which you
sprung upon us yesterday; but IL you
could know q 1.-THE of the pleasure
they gave, you might guess our graf
itude.
1.-The flowers came duly and in
fine condition, and, oh, the joy of
seeing SO many of the dear, lovely
things! We divided them with the
Carbonate Hill school and the first
four grades OF the Ninth Street and
Central schools. The Smelter and
Finntown were too far away. Each
child had few of the beauties and
all the sick ones were sent double
portion. !. myself, carried bouquets
to five scarlet fever patients, putting
the flowers down by the door, ring
ing the bell and skipping out to the
gate and explaining from that safe
vantage ground the sweet thought
of those lovely Grand Junction chill
dren.
Much as the children praised the
flowers themselves (and you would
not doubt 1t II you could have seen
how they have picked up and treas
ured the yellow leaves that have fall
len from the few deciduous trees we
have). think l say truly they were
far more pleased at the thought Of
them, that prompted the gift from
far away and unknown children.
II cannot with sufficient warmth
praise the spirit of the act, nor say
how much good will result from it..
Need l say that we are all agog
with eagerness to know the origin
and history of this heavenly idea?
Did the children raise the flowers?
Did the teachers pack them? Etc.
Etc.
Again thanking you in the name
of all the Leadville school children
and their teachers, l am
Sincerely and gratefully yours,
