DEED READY AT LAST
New Rifle Range and Camp Site
Soon to be Received by State


Within few days, insall probabili-
ty the deed from the former owners OF
the new State rifle range and camp
site near Virginia Beach to the Com
will be formally accepted
and placed on record. The consumma-
ton of this deal has long been delayed,
from one cause or another. The peo-
pie of Norfolk, who raised the money
to pay for the land and present it to
the State, took much time in paying
the purchase price. Later the title be-
came serious question, and q survey
or was sent to the scene from Rich
mond by Adjutant-General Sale.
The deed is now in the hands OF At
torney-General Williams, and it is un-
derstood that it is at last satisfactory.
However, the delay has made it i'm
possible to hold the annual encamp-
ment of State troops on the new site
this year, since the extension OF the
Norfolk Southern Railway remains to
be built, and much work will be nee
essary to fit the place for a camp.
General Sale proposes to take no
chances with imperfect sanitation.
The place for the 1911 enoampment
has not been as yet selected, although
1t appears morally certain that it will
be somewhere in or near the Valley OF
Virginia. Several places are under
consideration.
The camp of instruction for infantry
officers will be at Luray, while the
field artillery offers will again 60 to
Fort Riley, Kan.

SCHOOL TERM AT END
Highly Pleasing Exercises Mark
Close Of Session

Burketown, April 1.-The public
school at this place under the super
vision of Miss Mary Utley with her
competent assistant, Miss Tessa Ham
rick, closed yesterday, giving general
satisfaction to all the patrons. There
never has been a more successfully
taught school at this place than the
present one and its closing exercises
were beyond even the most sanguine
expectations of the patrons and the
neighborhood in general. The only
wish is that both teachers will return
to their respective places next year
and take up the work where they left
off.
The children have learned to love
their teachers and the teachers have
learned the nature and disposition OF
the children which will add more to
their success.
The closing exercises could not have
been surpassed was the opinion Of
many. The dialogues could not have
been excelled by older and more ex-
perienced heads. The recitations by
the little children were highly enjoyed
by their parents and friends, the lit
tie fellows doing credit to themselves
and showing the ability of their in
structors.

the recent fire have been adjusted and
payment made by the insurance con-
papies. Whils the exsct figures are not
known the amount paid over by the
companies Uill propably approximate
500, 600. Whatever littla celay there
was in settlement was caused by some
of the affected firms requiring several
days to esti nats their lossas rather
than by any disagreement b,twsan the

insurance companies. As far a. is known
complete settlement was made in most
cases without bsggling or difficulty.
