Virginia State Summer Institute
for Teachers, Big Stone Gap. Va.

This is an age of progress. The in
teligent teacher knows well how in
portant it is TO keep pace with the pro-
gress of the age.
The Virginia State Summer Institute.
at Big Stone Gap, will afford splendid
opportunities to teachers desiring to do
professional work. We ave desirous of
making this our banner year" in
every respect, but we are not so selfish.
or over ambitious, as to desire the pc
tronage of the teachers from other Nor
mails. We do need, however, and
expect, the loyal support of every tea
cher and school officer in this particular
section or division.
To those teachers who wish a lovely
mountain locality in which to spend a
summer vacation and recreation, coupled
with some light professional work, Big
Stone Gap should be peculiarly attrac-
tive.
We shall be glad to have you attend
the Normal at Big Stone Gap which will
be from July 3, to 80, closing with the
State Teachers examination. If YOU
are interested write for our bulletin
and further information.

ny store scrip trade, makes their show
log all the more wonderful. 1t is les
son to the people of this county also.
With one of the best cash markets in
the world right at our doors, the proper
advantage is not being taken of it. The
fertile valleys of this county should be
In truck, small fruit and poultry farms,
as it is only by intensive cultivation and
taking advantage of this favorable
market that the lands of this county
can be made to pay the interest on the
investment and a producers profit on
their valuation. The small farm, under
the care of their owners or with high
class, permanent tenants, is the only
salvation of the problem-not only of
the high cost Of living" but of the Ia
borers in the cOalfelds living at all.
The owners who realize this first will be
the ones to get the cream of this excel
lent market.

6eOTge Not So Truthful, After All.

Every boy has read, with glow Of
pride and no little doubt, the beautiful
story about George Washington and the
cherry tree. But no boy and but few
grown men are aware of the fact that,
II George had the habit of never telling
a lie IN his youth, he got bravely over it
IN manhood. In the records of Fairfax
county, Virginia, in which Mount Yer
non Is situated, there is still existing in
the fading handwriting of the clerk in
the year l764 the record of the finding
by the grand jury of an indictment
against George Washington, gentle
man, for perjury in swearing falsely
to his return of taxable property. Fur
ther records of the case have been lost.
so we are left in doubt as to the result.
This book of records has had an ad-
venturous career. In 1861, when the
Union army, under Mcdowell, invaded
Virginia and took possession of Fairfax
courthouse, q Pennsylvania soldier
seized the book and carried it away to
his northern home as a trophy. After
his death the court administered upon
his estate and order the book returned
to Fairfax county, which was done, and
1t is now back on its old shelf in the
courthouse of that county. Il was not
until Its return and a careful inspection
by some inquisitive antiquarian that it
was discovered that the great George
Washington, who was supposed never
to have told lie, had been guilty of
pretty big one.

Work of The W. C. T. U.

The Demorest Medal Contest. held in
Main street Methodist church under the
auspices of the local Woman's Chris.
tlan Temperance Union on last Satur-
day night, was great success. Four
young men: Messrs. Joseph Leslie.
Lapsley Carson, Lindsay Mcclure and
Kenneth Patty, competed for the med
al, and on account of the general excel
lency of the work the committee had a
hard time deciding on the winner. but
awarded the prize to MIR. Carson. The
singing of the chorus was feature of
the evening. A large crowd was pres
ent and all enjoyed the evening.
The work of this worthy association is
not all public. They have number of
useful enterprises that they carry on
without any flourish of trumpets, one
OF them being the observation, on sta
ted days, of the Flower Mission, by WIS.,
iting jails, asylums and other public in
stitutiOns for the care of the less fortu-
nate of their fellow creatures, and by
song and prayer service and the distri-
button of flowers try to bring sunshine
into the lives of these unfortunates. On
last Sunday the Flower Mission was
conducted at the county Jail, the SER
vices being led by Rev. T. A. Repass,
jr. After the children had sung, the
inmates of the Jail took up the singing,
and at the close of the services express
ed themselves as greatly benefited by
the visit of the mission.

ham Lincoln was nominated for presi-
dent on the third ballot and Hannibal
Hamlin, of Maine, for ice-president On
the second ballot. This ticket was sue.
cessful, easily defeating the divided de-
mocracy.
The third convention met in Balti-
more on Ju7e T. 1864. The platform
declared fer the carrying on of the war,
advocated constitutional amendment
forever prohibiting slavery anywhere IN
the UniGn, returned thanks to the fed

the emancipation proclamation. Abra-
ham Lincoln was renominc ted, receiv-
ing all the votes except those of Mis-
souri,, which were cast for Gen. Grant.
Andrew johnson, of Tennessee. was
nominated for vice president, and the
ticket elected at the polls.

The convention this week is the sew
enth the republican party has held 10
Chicago. OF the candidates named in
that city, Lincoln and Garfield were as
sassinated. Blaine died disappointed,
if not a heartbroken, man. Arthur,
who succeeded Garfield, lived to realize
the full meaning of political ipgrati-
tude. Harrison, although renominated
at Minneapolis, was defeated. The de-
feat of Grant in the convention which
met in Chicago in 1880 was the occasion
of bitter feud in the party, and Incl
dentally led to Its defeat four years
later. Mr.. Roosevelt was nominated in
Chicago in 1904 and Mr.. Taft in 1908.
These two of the seven standard bear
ers named by the party in Chicago con-
ventions, are Tie only ones living TODAY.
