The Late j. n S. Blackburn.

The death of the late Capt. John S.
Blackburn, of Alexandria, Va, means
a serious loss to the educational forces
of this State. AS one of the authors of
Blackburn and McDonald's Southern
School Histories, he was among the first
of the South's historians to engage in
the important work of furnishing fair
and impartial history for use in Southern
schools, and his history was adopted by
the educational authorities in all the
Southern States shortly after the con-
clusion of the civil war. For fiftyyears
he was principal of Potomac Academy.
Alexandria. Va, and the young men
who had the privilege of receiving in
struction from him will by their lives
bear testimony to his sterling worth
and influence wherever they may be-.
The following deserved tribute to his
memory is reproduced from the editori-
al columns of the Alexandria Gazette.
Captain Blackburn was an honored
member of the Clarke Cavalry, known
as Company D, Sixth Virginia, and dur
ing the last year of the war served on
the staff of Gen. William H. Payne.
'1n the death of Mr.. Blackburn. Alex
andria has sustained loss it will feel
Tor many days to come. He was a
scholar of unquestioned learning and
ability, and gentleman in the truest
sense of that often mlsused word. Dur
ing the almost half-century that he was
teacher, many hundreds of boys came
within the sphere of his influence. and
that influence, none will deny, was al
ways directed towards bringing out the
best and noblest traits which lie within
every human being. Many of the sue
cessful professional and business men
OF Alexandria today got their primary
and high school education at Potomac
Academy, and many boys went from
that school well-equipped for the work
they were to take up in the colleges and
universities of our own country; some
even making brilliant records at insti-
tutions of learning in the old world.
But far above the scholarship obtain
ed at Mr. Blackburn's school were the
of good citizenship, honesty
and truth, which. chiefly By the force
Of his own character, he instilled into
every boy who was intrusted to his
care. Hating lying and deceitfulness
as he hated the scource of evil itself.
ne impressed such principles of right
living into his scholars that none that
followed them could do wrong. He re-
NAMED faithfully at his post of duty
until illness overlook him, and now his
soul has gone forth on that last great
voyage where truth alone shall triumph
and where the secrets of all hearts
shall be disclosed
: "A stainless gentleman,
Who never yet hath uttered any word
Less whitley true that what the angels
breathe
highest the throne.
FORMER SCHOLAR"

Farmers Institutes.

The Farmers Institute held at Rippon
on Monday and Tuesday of last week
! was well attended. the bad weather how
ever, keeping some people away Every.
body enjoyed the talks of Messrs. linn
and Thomas. Much sappoiutme Mt
was expressed on account of Prof. At
wood not appearing. He was scheduled
to talk on poultry. This is the weak
place in the arrangement of Farmers In.
stitute. When man is scheduled to speak
he should either be there or furnish some
one in his place. The fault is not with
the local committee but with the men
themselves. Men who promise to come
should make good Although Mr.. linn
has made no public announcement. we
take the liberty to say that he is a
candidate for the nomination on the
Democratic ticket for State Commission
Ell. of Agriculture. Mr. z M comes from
Barbour county. ard has served on the
Board of Agriculture eight years. He
has done Institute work all over the
State, and knows what the farmers need
better than any other man in West Vir
