Mrs. D. Y. Cooper attended the ex-
ercises incident to the opening OF the
industrial building of the Stonewall
Jackson Manual Training and Indus
trial School, and the reception to Mr..

Mrs. Cooper is one of the trustees and
takes a lively interest in whatever
concerns this institution.
just as we expected would be the
case, contract for constructing the
new government (postoffice) building
was not awarded last Monday. Ac-
cording to advertisement, bids were
to be opened on the 18th, but for
some cause which must be good and

tended to February 18th.
