Beautiful Pen Work by Bsrryyills Boy

The following from the Roanoke
Times ~ very complimentary to
Mr.. k. ii. Thompson. son of Capt.
John'L. Thompson, of Berryvilla:
There was placed on exhibition
yesterday afternoon at the China,
Art and Book Store, ON Campbell
avenue, one of the largest pieces of
pen engrossing that has ever been
attempted. The subject is Presi-
dent Roosevet's Proclamation of
the jamestown Tercentennial Ex-
position Celebrating the Booth An
niversary of the First Permanent
Settlement of English Speaking
People in America and the Birth of
the Nation which Occurred at
jamestown, Va, on May 18th,
1907"
Mr.. K. Highley Thompson, of
this city, designed and executed the
piece of work and in SO doing con-
sumed the spare moments of three
months. The engrossing is one of
the largest ever attempted and at
one time Mr.. Thompson, while
searching for materials, thought he
would DC compeiledto give the work
up in consideration of the fact that
he could not secure, even in New
ork, piece of pen engross-
ing paper sufficiently large.
He finally succeeded in secur-
ing piece from the Zane
rian Art School of Columbus.
Ohio. The work is intended for
the jamestown Exposition and in
Il few days will be placed on exhi-
bition, probably i'm the Educational
Building. At the close of the Ex-
position the piece of ART may be
presented To the Historical Society
of the jamestown Exposition Com
panN
The engroSsing is being very
greatly admired and many compe-
tent critics have been profuse In
their praise of the work and the
clever artist who executed it.
Those who understand the splendid
quality of the work and the amount
of time required for its execution
estimate the value of the piece at
$500. Those who have seen the
work of the most celebrated en-
grossers in the country predict
that this work of Roanoke artist
will stand high at the great Ex-
position, and that in consideration
of the great number of people who
will see it at jamestown the work
ought to make for Mr.. Thompson
national reputation as a pen en-
crossing artist.

Mr.. Wellon Not a Candidate.

AS announced exclusively in the
COURIER. l.. NJ. Welton. of Boyce,
one of the well known and popular
citizens of tine County. is not a
candidate for the position of Sheriff
of Clarke County. An article in a
Winchester paper stated positively
that MIR. Welton was n candidate,
but the COURIER last week ques-
toned the truthfulness of that
statement. inasmuch as we had
heard nothing from Mr.. Welton.
In an open letter To the editor.
MIR. WeltOn says:
'Some timeag a sanguine friend
suggested that | should run for
Sheriff. After thinking the matter
over l announced to several voters

believing comment on the announ-
cement would give a true line on
the chances of success. But
modest doubt is called the beacon
of the wise, you know, and | shall
not be candidate. Frankly.
