only new thing that seems to
be slated for the republicans in
the district is a new chairman
of the executive committee.
1t is said that Peter j. Daven-
port, who has handled the af-
fairs of the committee most
successfully for the last few
years, will retire, and L. p.
Summers, until recently
collector of internal revenue,
will be chosen to succeed him.
Summers is recognized as n
born fighter, and as Slemp
believes in aggressive methods
of campaigning, the Abingdon
lawyer and politician will no
doubt be entirely to his liking.
As is well known, the Demo-
Gratis, in II convention held here
last March, made Gen. Rufus
a. Ayers tho nominee of the
party for congress by acclama-
ton. The convention was one
of the largest and most success
full in the history of the party.
Gen. Ayers is making the race
upon n platform of common
honesty, and against the old
method of buying votes, which
IL said to have been practiced
on both sides in the district in
the last congressional campaign,

crantz, of Sweden, he having
fallen heir to the title and in
come from his ancestral estates

twenty years ago. He is a gen.
tleman whose pleasing person
ality at once made friends of

family here to spend a part of
next summer.
Mesdames Marvin Kelly and

Reception and Dance.

Saturday evening the beauti-
full ball park was the scene OF
an informal reception and
dance given by Troop ID. at
which the townspeopie were
the guests of the boys in khaki.
A number of ladies of the town
furnished delicious refresh
ments and served all Corners,
and nearly everybody in town
was present Mt some time dur
ing the evening.
An informal reception was
held during the entire evening
in front of the officers quarters,
and a large number of Big
Stone Gapians called and were
presented to Captain Rawen
and Lieutenant Cox, and many
expressions of good will were
heard on every side.
Canvas stretched tightly on
the ground made a very good
floor for the troopers dance,
and the young ladies' of the
town aud THE young matrons
who danced had no lack of
partners among the gallant
cayalrymen.
Music was furnished by the
Amuzu orchestra, and long
iinea of gay Japanese lanterns
made pretty setting for the
number Of "faif women and
brave men," The relations of
the townspeople and the SOL
Idiers have been so pleasant and
harmonious throughout their
stay here that it would not be-
surprising TO hear that the
troop would be q feature of our
next celebration. Indeed, the
first sergeant was heard to re.
mark that ne fully intended
spending his next vacation in
the Gap with his wife and
children.

Normal Notes.

AS we go to press we learn
that the enrolment up to the
present time has already reach
ed 255, which is unusually
large for the opening days of
the Normal.
Superintendent w. ID. Smith
arrived over the V. and s. w.
Monday morning with a regu-
lar excursion crowd of Scott
county teachers, some sixty or
seventy in all, the sight of
whom made glad the heart of
Superintendent Hillman.
Superintendent and Mrs.
Boatright came up from the
county seat of Leo Monday,
and were overjoyed to find
that old Lees enrolment was
soaring this year, she having
enrolled 43 the first day, which
exceeded her total for the last
year by 4. She has about 40 up
to the present time and more
coming.
Classes were in session on
Saturday TO make up for July
3rd., which was declared q holt
day on account of the patriotic
celebration at this place.
Among the visitors last week
were II. G. Young, a member
of the faculty of the summer
session of William and Mary
college which is being held at
Dublin, Va. Carmine Tate, of
the Virginia School Supply
Company, and Mrs. Hugh Cal
vim Smith, of Greenville, Tenn. 4,
who is representing a publica-
tion of classics for children,
and Superintendent Smith
Boutright an Prof. ELAN,
formerly member of the facul-
ty of the Normal.
The excellent condition o
the school grounds this year

Indeed, there are few pref
tier school yards in this section
