The census enumerators will soon
be through with their work
The registrars Messrs. G. L. Ketch-
am and B. l. Mckinney, have COM
pleted the registration :, list, and the
result is, that there are 440 white
voters, and "a colored voters, quail
fed to vote. This shows an increase
in white voters over previous lists,
owing largely to newcomers, who
have moved into the county since our
last registration.
Developing Water Power.
It is reported that some time in
the near FUTURE there will be a de.
velopment 0 fthe power of Kincnafoo-
nee Creek, opposite the Heath estate
place, about four miles from Lees
burg. The matter has been worked
rather quietly heretofore, for what
reason we do not know, any way
some months ago surveyors were qui-
city at work surveying Kinchafoonee
Creek and tried hard to keep their
own counsel. The surveys we're made
mostly opposite the above named
place, near which H4ace there was in
operation, prior to the recent war,
a large saw and grist mill. There are
more SUCH pSwers that can be deyel-
oped at different points on that creek
and, sooner or later, they will be har-
messed into aaction.
Matrimonial Rumors Galore.
We can almost hear the ringing Of
the matrimonial bells now, and un-
less all signs fail and all rumors come
to naught5 they will ring soon and
clear and loud and more than once.
Just listeh and hear
The L6esburg High School Com
mencemeht Exercises are on, and it
is a drawing card, ushered in with
the commencement sermon on last
Sunday-it has been marked sue
cess, and every one seems to be de-
lighted, The sermon by Rev. J. L.
Brownlee was most excellent dis
course, filed with suggestions and
truths calculated to uplift every one
and to lead them to purer thoughts
and nobler (efforts. We have heard
most complimentary remarks about it.
On Monday after recitations show
ing careful kraining and diligent eff
fort on the bart of teacher and pupils,
at o'clock, Colonel E. w. Askew,
Of Arlingto4 delivered a well-timed
and well-cohsidered literary address,
that capture(d his large audience, and
reflected grle credit upon himself,
and made a most delightful time for
the good pIeople of Leesburg and vi
cinity
Monday night the young people
were in their glory, and you could see
the faces of many mothers and IA
theirs as they watched their little ones
act their nartA. as if trained to thhem
all their lives. And it is indeed cheer
ing to see the little minds grow and
expand. and let the thought come
over YOU that some day they will be
the chief actors on the stage Of life
and the older ones relegated to tae
rear
Tuesday night the closing exercises
were performed, and, like all the rest,
were very creditable and all tend to
heighten the public confidence in the
school and it's teachers, and it is to-
be hoped will stir up the people to
increased zeal for good schools. Wei
have refrained from singing out any
particular one for mention, for Where
SO many have done well it would seem
invidious to name just some; for in
deed it has been veryS creditable to all
concerned.
