Y The County Live Stock Show
the first effort of the kind for
Highlands prounccd a grand sue
cess by all who were here. The first

hap, and was ideal in point of
weather conditions.
Quite a number of well-known
visitors were here from q distance,
among them some of the best known
horsemen and judges of stock in
the State, and all unite in congrat-
Highland on her initial
stock show effort.
A full account of the show will
be published in next weeks issue.

County History rlention
Third Article.)

The scope of the proposed book
is two-fold. 1t will include a gen
eral sketch of the county from the
earliest times to the present day.
1t will also include a history of the
various family groups, thus clinch-
ing down for all time what can at
this late day be cleaned as to the
ancestry of the Highland people Of
today. By thus presenting a gen
ealogical summary of the people
past and present, together with
other incidental information as to
the various individuals, the book
will thus become of direct interest
to all the inhabitants of the coun-
ty with practically no exception.
Along this line it should scarce
ly be necessary to add that it is
not the business of any county his
tory to make public particular in
stances of illegitimacy, feeble mind
edness, or petty cglme.
A very common type of local
history is very largely filled with
geographic sketches of selected citi-
zens, the sketch being often accom-
panid by a portrait. This type is
criticised as being very greatly a
mere money-making scheme, the
sketches being literally paid for by
the persons written up, and the
book being bulky and expensive.
1t is further criticized as singing
out for Geographic notice only those
persons who pay for the putting.
The ancestry of the subject of a
sketch may indeed be traced back
to the pioneer settler, but the relat-
ed branches are ignored.
Our method is the reverse. We
begin with the pioneer and trace
forward practically all his posterity
who remain on the ground, making
special mention whenever special
mention is obviously required. Our
aim is to avoid padding, and to
give results that SHALL be broad and
substan tial and of lasting value.

MONTEREY HORSE SHOW

The progressive little town of
Monterey, "a miles from the near
est railroad, will hold frst-class
Live Stock Show on the 18th and
3Oth of this month. On this, the
first occasion of the kind in that
town, entries will be limited to
stock from Highland county. Next
wear the Association will extend its
field so as to take in adjoining
counties. Mr.. Thos. Hogshead,
our townsman, well known for his
love of everything pertaining to
outdoor life, has been appointed
as one of thejudges. Monterey de-
serves great credit for the enter
prising spirit of her citizens and we
hope that her first annual horse
show will be but the precursor of
many successful exhibitions to fol-
low in the years to come. The ex-
etutive committee of the Associa-
ton consists of Messrs. H. c. Luns-

thank the Times-Dispatch for kind

Staunton and Augusta County, and

which costs the County nothing,
