Opportunity.

Springfield Leader. The Ingalls,
sonnet on Opportunity" hath a
more artistic construction is more
majestical and musical in its
phraseology and will therefore live
longer in literature than the follow
ing from the Rolla Sharp Shooter.
but the latter prose paragraph is
quite as profound in the philosophy
it promulgates as the former,
which evidently inspired it:
your job may escape you. but
you can get another, your home
may escape you and you can get
another, your wife may escape you
and you can get another, but when
you let an opportunity escape you
there is nothing sure about you
getting another.

PRESBYTERIAN
To Teachers and Pupils.

l hope all teachers are using
every effort to have pupils of the
eighth grade finish the work and
take the final examination at the
close of the school. We hope to
hold County Graduation exercises
at Paris this summer and have set
our aim at one hundred graduates.
We can easily do this if teachers
will help.
Forty-two pupils finished the
course last year and received Ger
tificates of promotion to high
schools. Teachers, send in list Of
pupils who are taking eighth grade
work. Already a number of teach.
ers have given the examination
and have their pupils ready fol
graduation. Those who have pu'
pills finishing the course write for &
list of questions before your school
closes. | shall be glad to supply

directed by State Superintendent,
grade the papers then forward them
to me. | will then place each pu-
pills grade on record and also send
him a copy, and at the tire of
graduation he will be granted a
High School Entrance Certificate.
There has been a greater influx
into a county school this year than
ever before and we think it is due
largely to the incentives offered by
rural graduation.
We ask the assistance of all
teachers to make this year the best
year. Yours truly,

A Dance.

There will be a rousing old Folk

will they gaze upon the moon as
they did then, but they viii have

INTERESTED IN COURT
HOUSE FIGHT.

Many people in Bristol are
watching with interest the con
test in Lee county over the pro-
posed removal of the county
seat from Jonesville TO Penning-
ton Gap. The people of the
county will vote on the ques-
tion November .. The removal
would contemplate the erection
of a court house at Pennington
Gap, TO cost probably $50, 900
aud a Sl5, 600 Jail.
The county is wrought up
over the contest and the cam
paign is getting warm. The
chief reason for wanting the
county seat removed to Pen.
nington Gap, is that the new
location would bo on the rail.
road, and a greater convenience
to the public.-Bristol Herald

ENGINEER KILLED
In Freight Wreck Near Orelou Last
Saturday.

Engineer N. S. Groseciose, of
the Virginia and Southwestern
Railroad, was instantly killed
in a wreck on that road at 9:15
O'Clock Saturday morning, two
miles east of Oreton, and Fire
man ]. + Smith, was slightly
injured.
The wreck was caused by a
double-header freight tr a n
running into a small hand car
containing several steel rails.
Engineer GroseclOse was on the
first engine, and the locomotive
which was ditched, turned over
on it's side crushing him SO that
he died instantly.
The freight train is supposed
TO have been running at a lively
rate of speed, and il seems that
Engineer Groseclose overlooked
a red nag put out by the section
crew, running into the hand
car. Engineer Charles Bradley
in charge Of the second engine,
and his fireman, escaped with
out injury
1t was nearly three hours
after the accident, that the
body of the engineer was found
under the engine. IL had been
buried by the boiler and was
gotten out with much difficulty
It was mangled, and death was
evidently instantaneous.
/ Mr.. Groseclose had been
living in Bristol some ten years
having moved there from Rura
Retreat. He was reared in
Wythe county, and married
there. He leaves a widow anC
four sons and one daughter
the oldest being nineteen. Tn,
burial took place in Bristo
/ Monday.

THE SLEEPY TOWN.

Can any one tell me the travelling man
said
Why in the "Old Nick" things are so
dead2
Then au old nan replied in tones Of
lament
Saying! Our people, the merchants are
iull well content
With the affairs OF this town you can
net descent.
Said the drummer. then I'll pack up
my line
And cut this "burg" on my trip next
time.
And il is ever so in a sleepy iewn
When the drummer quits we're done up
brown
For a time the world looks on with 4
sickly smile
But the towns off the map la a very
shori while.

The seven southwest coun-
ties mentioned are formed into
two senatorial districts. Scott.
Lee and Wise compose one dis
trict. They have a total popu-
lation of 62,2O3 of which but
SO is colored. Their total vote
in 1905 was 1856.
Amherst and Nelson are
formed into a senatorial dis
trict. They have a total popu
lation of 33,939 Of which 81. 4
fper cent is colored. Their total
vote in 1905 was 2,O63.
Russell, Tazewell, Buchanan
and Dickinson are made to
compose a district. Their total
population is 5s.S54 of which
All is colored. Their total vote

Halifax county alone is a
senatorial district. It's popu.
lation is 37,l97 of which 81 s
per cent is colored. 1t casl
last year but 1918 votes.
Aside from the manifest un.
fairness Of this whole arrange
ment there is another point TO be
considered. The coal of Virginis
lays in these seven countie,
and IN case Of any unfriendly
legislation such as the propose
of tonnage tax on coal, these
counties have no adequate way
of protecting their interests
[ This Is wrong and it ought L
be righted at the first oppor
