While we have many things OF
which we may justly boast, we
have witnessed many things in
practice that are very disagreea-
BILE, not to say exasperating.
For instance, how one likes to go
to the postoffice to wait for the
mail to be distributed, or to mail
a letter or parcel, and have some
one just ahead of you after
receiving his mail, stand at the
window and look over a dozen
or more letters and papers! Or
mabe they will mail several
letters, and after purchasing
the stamps, instead of stepping
out of the way as. they should do
stand in the window until they
have placed the stamps on posi-
ton and sealed all the letter! We
think reform along this line
would be very acceptable, indeed,

One thing can be truthfully
said of the teachers in our schools
at the present time, and those
employed for the ensuing year,
that their daily walk and CONVEX
sation, and their moral lives are
such as to form a good example
for their pupils. Our pupils can
safely follow the example Of the
teacher. ssWhen the roll is called
up yonder" the teachers of our
schools can all answer present. .
Good morals and good manners
are taught in our schools and
the worthy example set by our
present corps of teachers has a
great influence in moulding the
character of the youth of our city.

One of our fellows who poses

he got fifty of the 1902 mintage
and forwarded them in a regis

he sent 1852 more pennies,

Jardlnieree just IN at Hendricks.


Here is an opportunity that you cannot afford
to overlook We have to offer you within the
limits of the great cabbage and potato growing
belt of Southwest Virginia, a farm only 5H mi
southeast of Rural Retreat. The cabbage, 10
tato and stock center of Southwest Virginia,
and OF tho best markets for oil kinds farm
products in the United States withoutexccption.
Four miles of the road leading out to this farm
from Rural Retreat is Macadamized. The farm
is well located both for stock and vegetable
growing. 1t is boun.ifuly supplied with water
which is accessible from every field on the farm
there is q irst-class spring right at the DWELL
ing. The land is of a limestone nature and re-
spends readily to good treatment. The farm
contains 1854 acres of which about 2iq acres
cleared and in grass.
We consider this farm one Of the best bar
gains at $3.50 per sre in this whole section OF
country surrounding the great cabbage and
potato belt, we venture the assertion that there
is not another Farm up to the standard OF this
farm in this whole section within the radius Of
81 mi. that can be bought for anything like the
money we offer this farm. Land owners within
the radius mentioned would not care to part
with their lands for double and three times the
price we are offering this farm for. Is not this
a good criterion to go by in consideration of tn
future prospects of enhancement in value of
farm? The dwelling house is an old Imprinted
8 room, but comfortable house. The barn and
other out buildings are very good The real
value of this property is in the quality of the
land. Doubtless this. farm has the brightest
| future before it for the investor of any in this
| section.

We take it for granted that pa
rents are as much if not more
interested in the advancement of
their children at school as ars
the teachers, and no teacher
takes delight in pupils failure.
The management simply wishes
tocall the attention of the parents
to the facts in the case and
urgently request-not demand
that nothing be allowed to inter-
fere with the progress of their
children in school work.

The education of the boy and
girl today, in our humble judg-
ment, received from the public
schools of our country, must be
based upon the three great prop
ositions-H Humanity, with all it's
surroundings: Honesty, Indus
try. The feeling of humanity
that is planted in the breast Of
the boy and girl by the beneficent
rays that come from the teacher
will live forever; it matters not
in what walk in life it may be-;
whether in the school room
counting house, shop, farm or
profession. The Humanitarian
ideas that are inculcated in their
minds while attending school,
remain forever. If these are
based upon the thought that 70
feelings of a fellowman must

upon which education is based

The common schools OF our
land must instill in the minds OF
every boy and girl the element
honesty; honesty to himself ;
honesty to his neighbor; honesty
to his country.

AS TO EVERYDAY ENGLISH.

In the Popular Science Monthly Dr Charles w Super makes bold t1 ques ton the time honored statement that Shakespeare's vocabulary of 15.000 words is the largest used by any Eng lish author. IT there were concord ance 10 Scott's novels. he thinks. il would show larger number of words because Scott treats Of more different subjects. II is possible. but not neces- sarily true: one may write of many subjects with much the same genera. vocabulary. The number of words used by an author is partly determined by his subject. to be sure, and partly by the number of words he knows: but i, is largely d matter of temperament and mental habit. one writer may use | large vocabulary from sheer pedant ry. ransacking the dictionary for little used words. That was not the way of Shakespeare. whose wealth of vOcableS is evidently due to the vivacity with which his mind worked. embeliishns his theme with all the resources the
 language offers, and even coininS
 words when needful. Tt is quite true.

 of words used by an author $ no tes;

 traits. Shakespeare with a John Bun
