CEASES
TO EXIST
Mt. Sterling Collegiate
Institute is no More.
Property for Sale
Prof. Cord Accepts position as
Principal CatIettShurg School.

With the closing of the last ses-
sison, the Mt. Sterling Collegiate
Institute has closed its doors as an
institution of learning. This
splendid school was founded six
years ago by Prof. W. H. Cord,
deceased. 1t has been a credit to
our city and it is with sincere re-
greet that we learn it has been a
financial failure, although the
management should feel proud of
the great good it has done in an
educational way. The property is
for sale and it is understood the
county is talking of buying it for
a County High School if terms
can be agreed upon.
Prof. r. l. Cord, who has been
president of the institution since
the death of his father about three
years ago, has accepted a position
as principal of the Catlettsbure
High School and will assume his
new duties about September LIST.
Prof. Cord is an educator of rec.
ognized ability, being a graduate
of Pennsylvania University, Lex.
ington. He has many friends in
this city who will learn with sin,
cere regret that he is going to
leave Mt. Sterling but wish fol-
him much success in his new field

stalls, which affords ample room
for the doctors patients. DR..

Veterinarian, enjoys a splendid
practice in this and adjoining
counties, and now that he is so
splendidly prepared to care for the

pected that his practice will mate

Mt. SterIlng'S ''Mathe-
NAUTICAL Wonder"

A rather unusual feature of the
High School Commencement was
the awarding of the mathematics
prize to a student who had won a
similar one the year previous.
Mrs. Grace Ogg Coons, of the De-
partment of Mathematics, offers
annually prize. of $500 in gold to
the student attaining the highest
average in that subject, and in
June, 1911, it was awarded Miss
Stella Stephens, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. G. B. Stephens, who re,
ceived the prize again this year,
her grade being SO $40 per cent,
defeating her closest competitor
Miss Alleen Beall, by a very small
margin.
Miss Stephens was also one oil
the forty-one students with a per,
feet record in attendance anC
punctual;ty for the year, however,
Miss Alice Bright drew the lucky
number and was awarded the prize
in this contest.
Such a record in mathematics
may justly create a feeling of pride
in the heart of the winner, since it
not only reflects great credit upon
herself, but also upon the institu-
ton in which she received her
training.

HORRIBLE
ACCIDENT
James W. SdmueIS Killed
Beneath the Wheels OF
Moving Train.
Was Son Of Mayor SamueIs and a
Most Popular Young Man.

1t was on Thursday morning,
June 6, 1912, that our citizens,
aroused from their slumbers, and
going on their way to their various
places of business, learned the
heart-rending news that James W.
Samuels, eldest son of Mayor w.
A. Samuels, had been killed, while
attempting to alight from a fast
moving freight train.
A gloom of sorrow seemed to at
once settle over our city-business
being practically suspended-and
many a strong man, when discus
sing this horrible accident, was
seen to endeavor to choke back
sobs.
The facts as gotten from an eye
witness to the accident are as fol-
lows
Mr.. Samuels had gone to Lex
ington Monday in an automobile
to attend the aviation meet, but
decided not to return that night
but remain over in Lexington for
several days. He was assistant
city engineer, and it is thought,
after having missed the late pas
senger train Wednesday night he
decided to take a freight so as to
reach this city in time to go to
work Thursday morning. At
Winchester several Mt. Sterling
negroes boarded the train having
been over to that city to dance.
When the train reached Mt. Ster'
ling it was running at high rate
of speed. All the negroes except
one jumped off before the station
platform was reached. 1t was
just in front of the baggage room,
on the side toward the depot, that
Mr.. Samuels, in attempting to
alight from the train, was thrown
and dragged beneath the wheels,
death being instantaneous.
The body was removed to the
Sutton Eastin undertaking estab-
lishment and later removed to the
residence of his parents on High
street.
The funeral services were held
at the home of his sister, Mrs. T
Badger Robertson, on Clay street,

the burial took place in Machpelah
