gan in 1889, previous to which the
commencement program was made up
entirely Of exercises by the graduates.
Gradually less of the work of the pu-
pills has been seen and more time has
been given to the commencement adj
dress by the notable orator invited by
the board of education to make the adj

High School, at the Grand
Opera House on First
Thursday in June.
A LIST OF FAMOUS MEN
For Twenty Years Notable Orators,
Thinkers and Educators Have
Addressed Graduating
Glasses in keokuk.


Hon. Theodore A. Craig will be the
orator at tae commencement of the
Keokuk high school, which will be
Thursday evening. June 8, this year.
The board Of education and Superin-
tendent Aldrich had some difficulty in
getting Mr.. Craig to accept the invi-
tation to make the principal address
of that evening, as the new incumbent
of the county attorneys office finds
himself very busy these days with his
private and official law practice. But
by insisting upon it persistently. they
finally secured the Keokuk orator for
the commencement program.
1t is the third time that Keokuk
man has had this position, the other
two being Hon. Sam NJ. Clark, and
Senator w. Clyde Jones, who by the
way was classmate of Mr.. Craig's
in the high school class of 1889. Gen
orally some man of national reputa-
ton, or at least of high reputation in
the educational world, has been chosen
for the high school commencement
orator. The list includes some of the
most famous men in America.

The Synod committee having in
hand the matter of locating college
in Kahoka, arrived in our city last
Thursday evening. Friday morning
the local committee met with them
and showed them over the town and
pointed out the principal points of in
terest and the many fine cites for the
college which Kahoka possesses. The
committee left with good impress
sion of our town. While they did not
give out any definite promises, our
people feel that they have chance of
getting the institution If the matter
rested solely on the amount of money
the various cities competing for the
college could raise, of course Kahoka
would not have a show, but this is
supposed to be not all that will be
taken into consideration. iIahoka mas
raised $4,000 and will probably raise
considerably more by the time the
conference meets June 2, when the
matter will come up for final deter
mination. Let's keep boosting.

This Years Graduates.

The class this year will number for
ty-five or less graduates-there are
forty-five candidates for graduation
now, and the final examinations and
computing of averages may drop sew
eral of them from the list.
The exercises will be held in the
Grand opera house, which will be fill
ed to capacity to see the graduates get
their diplomas and to hear Theodore
A. Craig speak. A nominal admission
is charged for the real purpose of
making room for those who actually
desire to attend the commencement
exercises and to keep these people
from being crowded out by those who
go to every free attraction, regardless
of their interest in it.
This is the thirty-eighth commence
ment of the Keokuk high school and

In the ever increasing migration from
city streets to country lanes, from the
heat Of the level asphalt to the pleasant
shade of the suburban dell, the city dwell
er Is constantly seeking for his ideal in q
country residence. Many nearby sections
are open to Washingtonians, and each
passing summer finds more of the urban
population becoming so infatuated with
their temporary quarters in the outlying
districts that a certain percentage almost
invariably become confirmed commuters
after the ending of the regular summer
season.
That Washington is particularly happily
situated with regard to it's country sur
roundings. especially toward the semi-dis-
tant counties of Virginia, il perhaps bes,

Description by Virginian.
The following description of these coun-
ties in Virginia. written from the stand
point of the attractions they offer for
profitable all-the-year-round residence.
was prepared by L. d. Passano, a Vir-
gilman well versed in the best features
of his country:
While Virginia is undoubtedly a state
with great resources really just begin
ming to be appreciated. there is consider
able variance as to the worth and value
Of different sections and variance as to
the character of the values.
Regarded from the standpoint Of land
values In the sense of agricultural and
stock raising, in conjunction with condi-
tions most favorable for both profitable
and all-the-year residence, there is no
section of the state, or any other part OF
the United States that can excel the
northern Piedmont country, with special
consideration of upper Fauauier. Lou
doun, Rappahannock and Orange coun-
ties.
Here is a country where there is nat
ural fertility and strength of soil, ac-
cessble to the high-priced eastern mar
kets for export: a country of charming
pastoral beauty verging into the pictur-
esaue mountainous sections; section
composed of a succession Of small valleys
traversed by thousands of brooks and
streams of pure water; undulating and
