Aug. 5.-Your correspondent has
been here four weeks last Saturday
and feels he is getting acquainted
with the place. We were SO thorough
lv wooded on every side about mis-
representations in our last that We
gracefully yielded the job to others
and consequently silence held its
sway in your columns as to this
place last week. We have to
report that no rattler or deadly cop
perhead has been seen since my last,
though we have thoroughly search
ed these foot hills and had the noun
tains ransacked daily for our deadly
foe but in vain.
Saturday is generally a big day
here as all the countryside COM
mence rolling in after day light and
dispurse before midnight. Last
Saturday the crowd was estimated
at something less than thousand.
1t carried us back to the old militia
days OF Stuart's old field when the
military maneuverS of old Rock
bridge were so gallantly displayed.
But we are depressing.
The swimming in front is still the
attraction. The hotel is now full,
all the cabins occupied and as our
side has thinned out, your writer
has felt for once like a lord. We
have the choice of three bungaloes
and 40 comfortable cots. Saturday,
as we retired and found our bungalo
swept and garnished, and the brio
a-brac arranged with artistic skill,
our hearts went out to God for this
new manifestation of his care for
your humble correspondent But
it will not be long thus, for others
are coming in and we may have to
take to the tall timber before the
week is out
We could write volums in behalf
of this Wilson-Altruria resort but
time and space forbid.
The killing of negro in this vic
Unity is all the startling news we
have to mention; but these things
it seems must needs be.
In conclusion l would say, the
Sabbath is fairly well observed con-
sidering the daily life and gayety of
the place. Con.

Teachers to Get No Endorsements
From Superintendents

Public school teachers will in the
future get no letters of endorse
ment from superintendent. There
will be no more testimonials for
teachers who have discharged their
duties satisfactorily and in lieu
thereof the superintendent will
give each other confidential inform
alton regarding teachers when such
is requested.
The above decision was reached
at the conference OF superirtendents
held last week in Farmville, when
the following resolution was adopt =
ed:
Resolved, That we, the division
superintendent of the State of Vir
GINA. in conference assembled,
agree not to give any general test
imonial or open letter Of endorse
ment to any teacher, but each SUI
perintendent pledges himself to
give correct and confidential inform
alton to any school official request
ing it, and each Of US pledges him
self to keep sacred the condolences
placed in him. "
Eighty-seven of the division SUI
perintendents OF Virginias public
schools met at Farmville Tuesday
for conference on the general work
of the schools for the past year and
to discuss further plans for improv-
ing the educational system during
the coming term.
Reports we're made by the super
intendents in each congressional dis
trict, showing what had been
accomplished, the results attending
the consultations aud the benefits
which had followed. Mr.. Eggles
ton, when told in detail of what had
actually been done, declared that
more had been accomplished in two
years than he had hoped to dc in
four years, tie superintendents anC
school trustees cooperating with
the view to getting the best results

The Baltimore American OF Mon
day published the following report
of Sundays camp meeting services
at Wesley Grove, Md:
Rev. Murray d. Mitchell of Lex
ingtcn, Va, formerly Of Baltimore.
preached at IL O. o'clock TO one of I'll e
largest audiences at the camp in re-
cent years, and chose for his text
John, the eighteenth chapter, first
verse, and his subject Gethsemane.
He said in part:
All that man has of true, lasting
JOY comes from some Gethsemane.
III any man were TO take from his
life every time OF mental anguish,
he would be bereft of every sweet
memory and Of every ray of sustain
ing hope. Thank God, our Gethse-
names have become oar Mounts OF
Bethany, where the two worlds
meet and where the angels sing as
of old. Why 10 TX We up to Heaven?
This, our Christ, will come to earth
again.
The sermon touched the hearts
OF all, and every member OF the vast
congregation was deeply moved.
