Remedy has been extensively used and with

CONCORD NORMAL
BURNED TO GROUND.
Fire, Originating in The Library of College
Buildings, at Athens, W. Va, Lcks
I'd Costly Structures,

The main building of the Concord
State Normal School at Athens, Mercer
county, w. Va, caught fire about 2
O'Clock on last Tuesday morning from a
fire originating either in the ba. ement
or the library, and the entire building,
which was a magnificent one, was burn
ed to the ground. None of the ada
cent buildings were damaged, though it
looked for time like others were DOOM
ed. The loss is estimated at $50, 900
The school will reopen next Tuesday,
temporary class rooms having been ar
ranged in the Masonic hall, the Odd Eel
lows hall, the Methodist church, the
Baptist church, the church of the Dis
ciples and the Osborne building.
The Concord School is branch of the
State normal system, which was estab-
lished by an act OF the West Virginia
legislature passed February 2S, 1872. 1t
was created to supply the urgent edu-
cational needs of that portion of the
State in which it is situated. Toe act
creating the school provided that a
building should be erected and furnished
free of charge to the State. At that
time the village of Concord-now Ath-
ems consisted of but five families. By
a deed of March %, 1874, w. H. Martin
and wife conveyed six acres of land to
the State of West Virginia. The cor
ner stone of the building had been laid
on the 22nd of February preceding, and
the money for the erection of the first
building was made up entirely of pri-
vate subscriptions, the building being a
small wooden structure about 80 by 48
feet. The school was opened in this
building on May 10, 1875, with an en-
rollment of about forty pupils, and the
old frame structure was continued in
use until 1886. The legislature of the
State. with abundant resources at its
command, then began making liberal
appropriations for the support of the
school and erection of new buildings,
the appropriations from time to time
being in keeping with the growth and
needs of the school. Only recently a
handsome additional building costing
$50, 900 was added to those already in
use. The school was recognized as one
of the best of its kind in this entire sec
ton of country, and each year number
ed among its enrolment many students
from adjoining States, quite number
from this county alone having matricu-
lated at the institution in the past few
years.

One United States Senator.

Washington county and the town OF
Abingdon has enjoyed the privilege OF
but one representative in the United
States Senate. This was Senator John
w. Johnston, who was elected by the
Legislature, serving from 1870 to 1888.
He died in 1890 while in Richmond. He
was the father of DIR. George Ben
Johnston, of Richmond, we'll known in
this section, his former home.-Abing-
don Virginian.
John W. Johnston is we'll remembered
by the older inhabitants of Tazewer,
he having lived here for a numter of
years, previous to 1856, when he re-
turned to his former home in Abing-
don. He first resided in what is now
known as "The Old Harrison House.
on West Main Street. He afterwards
lived in the house where S. D. Nays
Office is now located and it was here
his gifted son, Geo. Ben, was born.
Senator Johnston built the Colonel
May house. one of the best specimens
of old time Virginia country homes ir
this section. When he removed to Alb.
ingdon he sold this place to VIM. p.
Cecil who in turn sold it to John T.
Hopkins and Col. May bought it from
the latter.

Sheffey Thomas PardOned.

Governor Mann on last Friday grant
ed pardon to Sheffey Thomas, one of
the State convicts doing labor in the
Capitol Square at Richmond. The pris-
oner, who is a mere boy, had only about
three weeks to serve of term of two
years for the killing of a white man
named John Hager, of the Cove, in this
county, in 1908.
Thomas hsd been a trusty for some
time, and a great number of people
about the capitol interested themselves
in his case. The governor said in con-
nection with the case that he thinks it a
good plan to reward faithful service in
such a manner. At the trial Thomas
claimed the killing was accidental, and
this belief was shared by large num-
Der of those who heard the evidence in
the case.

RED CROSS SEALS TO Be SOLD HERE
Our People will Have Share in Great
Charity.

Arrangements have been made by
which the beautiful Red Cross Christ
mas seals will be sold here this winter.
The National Red Cross Society and the
State Anti-Tuberculosis Association,
which have the matter in hand, have
agreed to establish agencies here and
to supply as many seals as may be
needed for local use.
According to present arrangements,
these seals are to be sold from Novem-
Der 2S to January l, and can be had in
all of the stores. Our merchants. who
have become interested in this UNIQUE
charity, have expressed willingness
to handle the seals and are promising
to push their sale among all their Gus
toners.
The National Red Cross advertises
that "every Red Cross seal is bullet
in the war against consumption" and
this great national body guarantees that
every cent spent for Red Cross seals
will be devoted to the national war
against tuberculosis.
The Red Cross seals were sold here
last year, and are well remembered by
all those who used them. There is al
ways a'lively demand for them and this
year the sale will probably be very
large

FURLOUGH FOR
Y. N. |. CADETS.
Typhoid Fever and "Piuk Eye" Caused The
SuSpenSioR---WiII Resume Again
January Fourth.

Owing to the presence of several
cases of typhoid fever and an epidemic
of pink eye" a furlough has been
granted the cadets of the Virginia Mill
tary Institute, Lexington, Va, until
the 4th Of January, 1911, general orders
to that effect having been issued Sun
day by Superintendent Nichols. The
institute has also experienced q good
deal of trouble on account of an INSULT
cient water supply occasioned by con-
tinual drought.
That there was an epidemic of pink
eye" at the V. Nj. l. has been known
several days, but the exact extent of
the disease was a matter of some doubt.
From sources other than the author
ties of the Institution it was given out
that as many as $50 cases of the dis
ease existed at the school, and from
these same sources it was reported that
the post surgeon recommended that
the cadets be furloughed, but it appears
that General Nichols was unwilling at
that time to have the school break up.
This, however, was before typhoid fe
yer became a factor in the situation.
When this matter was brought to the
attention of the superintendent orders
were at once issued for the breaking up
OF the school until January 4th, next.

crawled under the floor of our home,
tucked our head under our wing and
tried to forget. But on last Friday our
"better half" came home from the
postofice with a copy of the Tazewell
Republican and we heard her say:
"Slemp's elected by 23l." Our whole
attitude changed in the twinkling of an
eye and we strutted forth like the cham
pion barnyard cock, assumed the atti-
tude of "the Stuart rooster" and since
then we have done some tall Growing
for Hon. G. B. Slemp.
