Of the Big Sioae Gap High School a
Grand Success.

last week far surpassed the
closing of any school year in
the history of the town. The
natrons and friends of the
school were given "A series of
programs commencing on Tues
dav night and ending with the
grand little operetts, FCinder-
liza in fiowerland, OF the lost
slipper" in which forty school
children took part on Friday
night. This last entertainment
was the best of all, and the
way in which the little tots per
formed their parts showed the
very excellent and thorough
training they had been given
by their teachers.
ON Tuesday night the first of
the series Of programs, the ex-
ercises were made up of selec-
tions by Mrs. Rogers music
class, and all the young people
taking part did exceedingly
we'll and their efforts were high
Is complimented
On Wednesday night the pro-
gram consisted of music, a de.
bate and medal contest. The
question for debate, Resolved
that Big Stone Gap should be
county seat of Wise County, 4"
was debated for the affirmative
by Misses Myrta Cawood, Jan
cite Bailey and Stella Head,
and for the negative by Messrs
Carlisle Skeen, Greed Kelly and
Luther Slemp. In the debate the
Judges decided for the affirm
alive. These young boys and
girls deserve credit for the able
manner in which they argued
the question. The contest for
the medal was participated in
by Misses Janette Bailey, Olga
Horton, Stella Head, Corrinne
Taylor, Mary Carnes, Winnie
Mullins and Ella Horton.
These young ladies all spoke
well and the judges had no
easy task in deciding on the
winner, which, after due delib-
GRAFTON was decided in favor of
Miss Olga Horton, and she was
awarded the medal by Rev. j.
M Carter.
On Thursday afternoon Mrs.
Sally A. Bailey's music class
gave a musical entertainment,
pleasing and entertaining to
those present.
On Thursday night ''The
Spinsters' Return" a very
laughable farce was given by
twenty-four young ladies of the
school. The entire evening
was taken up with this play
and the large audience was
kept laughing from the time
the curtain rose until the close.
IL was indeed an excellent pro-
duction and every one taking
part deserves special mention.
Friday morning Rev. j. NJ.
Garter, pastor of the Southern
Methodist Church delivered the
annual address before the school.
His subject was "Higher Man
hood and Education"

DROWNED IN CANAL

On Tuesday morning coat, hat
and pair of shoes were found on the
canal bank near the Reynolds mill
race. Mayor McGovern caused the
canal to be dragged for body, which
was finally hooked and brought to
the surface.
1t was that of young man appar'
emily about 26 years of age. When
found the man was still dressed with
the exception of the articles found on
the bank and all his clothing was Of
good material. In one of the pockets
of the coat was found letters address
ed to a Van Dusen, Temperance,
Michigan.
The coroner was notified but found
no marks of violence on the body.
1t is possible that the man was
drunk and fell into the canal but
the question then asked is how the
clothes came to be on the bank.
A Mr.. Johnson, a farmer living
near Monclova, stated Tuesday that
o man by the name of Van Dusen
had been working for him but left
on Monday.
Two brothers of the dead man ar.
rived Wednesday evening, identified
the body and had it shipped to De-
troit, his former home for tnterment.
The young man had been working
for the Swigart Optical company in
Toledo and his brothers were of the
opinion that he was preparing to take
bath when he was seized with a
| fit and fell into the water. The ap-
pearance of the body when found
would also seem to bear out this
theory. The young man was only 21
years of age.-Maumee Advance.

W0MEN'S WOES
PERRYsBuRG WOMEN ARE FIND
ING RELIEF AT LAST.

1t does seem that women have
more than a fair share of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity; they
must keep up" must attend to du-
ties in spite of constantly aching
backs, or headaches, dizzy spells,
bearing down pans; they must stoop
over, when to stoop means torture.
They must walk and bend and work
with racking pains and many aches
from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more
suffering than any other organ of the
body. Keep the kidneys well and
health is easily maintained. Read
of a remedy for kidneys only that
helps and cures the kidneys.
Mrs Frank Bulask, of 1910 La
Grange St., Toledo, o., says: Our
ing the spring of 1898, after a ma
larial attack | felt generally run
down. Symptoms of kidney trouble
began to appear, and as l had used
Doan's Kidney Pills previously with
satisfaction, it was naturally the
first remedy that tried. Now l can
say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
twice cured me of pain in the back
and other symptoms of kidney trou-
BILE, and a remedy of this kind that
can be depended on ought to be gen.
orally known"
