FROM THE HUNTING GROUNDS

F. -
twilight or the early dawn spied a fine
buck standing within easy range and
broadside to the hunter. Taking care
full aim Fossett fired, but the deer
failed to move. He continued TO shoot
and it was not until after the sixth
shot that the buck showed any signs
of being alive. The animal then
charged Eossett, who fired his last
shot at the buck and when the animal
reached him jumped upon its back.
The deer started for the woods, carry
ing the hunter, but before gettins
very far staggered and fell, expiring
almost Immediately. Subsequently ex-
animation showed that all of the shots
had taken effect. 1t is explained that
the first shot temporarily injured the
deers spine and caused for few mo-
ments paralysis that prevented il
rom moving. 1t is further explained
that the shots fired afterward hit no
part with sufficient resistance to
cause the bullets to mushroom.

The Virginia State Summer
Institute for Teachers.
Big Stone Gap, Va,
July End to July
3Oth.

Doubtless there airs many teachers.
and young men and women who are not
yet teachers, undecided, whether or not
they should attend some State Summer
Normal during the month of July. Why
are you debating the question: That
very fact, to my mind, ia an indication
that you feel the need of more training
and better equipment, for the vital work
and serious responsibilities that will con
front you in tie noble field in which you
are anticipating to labor during the next
scholastic year. Our best teachers, those
who are standing highest in their profess
sion. those who are getting the largest
salaries and are meeting with good sue
cess ON every hand, are those who are
awake TO their opportunities for better
improvement, and are untiring in their
efforts, to properly equip themselves for
the many problems and difficulties that
confront them in this great and impor.
portant field of service.
Our advice to you is, if possible, attend
some good Normal There arc several
good normals in the state; in fact. do
not know of a bad one.
The Normal at Big Stone Gan has 81
ways been one Of the largest and most
successful in Virginia. Our beautiful
aud healthful location, the social advan-
tages among a. refined and most hospita-
BILE people, and the splendid educational
advantages offered here at the Normal
for professional study and training.

and women of this section some sober
thought, before they sacrifice their local
pride and patriotism, and loyalty TO their
institution, for some other. II which the
conditions and opportunities are not
quite so favorable.
we, OF course. except the Normal at
the University OF Virginia, which wa ali
recognize AZ not only the best Normal In
the State, but one OF tbs best In the
Country.
We are expecting fine normal at Big
Stone Gap this year In every way. Our
prospects haze never been brighton. May
we not connt on you to do
yoar full share to help make
this our "bennsr years Not only
come yourself. but EringRyour friends
