Scandal In Wetaug.

Wetaug has for long time enjoyed
 the distinction of being 8 strictly white
 settlement, no "cullud pusson having
 been a resident within it's borders fol many years. There is. however, a fami ly. living there now. who, although be. ing white, has been called upon to ex. plain the arrival-via the stork '-of two" off-color infants, which appeared at their home on Monday. claiming re- lationship to the white brothers and sis ters of the household. One of the afore- said infants bears the earmarks of being either an octoroon, quadroon or a mu- latto, while the other one displays the apparent markings of full-fedged Afri- can negro.
 While we refrain from mentioning the individual names of the parents, we are permitted to state that the family re- ferred to is O. H. Pease's spotless1y white Pekin ducks, and the only feasible explanation of the white ducks produc- ing nlgger babies " is the fact. that a few weeks ago, the ducks were seen in company with some wild black ducks in "Gillette's swamp" where two or three pairs of the latter have been nesting, and while some may question the interming- ling of the tame with the wild birds in their native habitat, it is an undeniable fact that " the proof of the dissipation is in the hatching."

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
Rev. MT. Travis Makes Address and
 Mir. Roberts Awards Diplomas.


 Rev. Mr. Travis Makes Address and
 Mir. Roberts Awards Diplomas.
 The High School commencement exer- cises, Tn Town Hall. Thursday evening, were largely attended by parents and friends of the graduating class and the school generally, and were fully as in- teresting as usual.
 The stage was filed with pupils of the High school. the graduating members eccupyinp the front seats. The class colors. white and gold, were profusely in evidence Ribbons, of those colors' were festooned over the proscenium, and directly over the center were the figures. "1913" composed of daisies, under which were the letters, 70. H. S." At the back of the stage against massed back ground of laurel, was the class motto. Work and Win" A huge screen of massed laurel completely hid the large heating stove in the corner of the room.
 Promptly at 8 o'clock Superintendent Vogel opened the program by requesting Rev. L. B. Travis to give the invocation. This was followed by song, " June," by the school. Miss Chapman. the special music teacher, accompanying on the piano.
 Introducing MT. Travis, who gave the commencement address, MT. Vogel said the profession of school teaching was, in sense, missionary work. He said his mother had wished him to become a minister. but he had chosen the teaching profession, which, after all, was not far divergent from the line of the ministry. He then introduced MT. Travis, as one who would be able to give an address from different viewpoint from the or dinary commencement address. MT. Travis was given hearty welcome by the audience as he mounted the stage.
 His address was interesting and in structive throughout, his theme being the importance of our public school sys- tenn. He considered the public schools more important to the welfare of the country than colleges, universities, mu- seums of art or conservatories of music, just as bread is more beneficial than pastry or merangues. He gave wise ad vice and admonition to the graduates, and made his address impressive to the other pupils and the audience as well. It was one of the best commencement ad- dresses ever given to a graduating class in Canaan.
 a
 The class memorial, beautiful ale gorical frieze, in plaster, with music as It's theme, was presented by Donalds Gaylord. in clever and fitting speech, to which Nelson Parsons, IA, respond ed in graceful and becoming address of acceptance.
 Hon. E. s. Roberts, chairman of the school committee, then presented the di plomas to the graduates. after few timely remarks of advice. encourage ment and congratulations. The gradu- ates were Grant Charles Carter, Mary Phoebe Fitch, George Lorenzo Fitch, Donalds Peck Gaylord, Kepneth Craw- ford Hart, Clara Emma Merchant. Helen Adella Osborne. Olive Mabel Rood, Ina Elizabeth Trieschmann.
 After another song Mir. Travis pro nounced the benediction. and the dis. tribution of presents, of which there were many, concluded the exercises.

USED ONE BUILDING OVER Ia CENTURY

The old Pioneer Building which
will soon be numbered with the
things that have passed away has
done duty as high school building
fer oyer a quarter of a century. Long
enough for all sorts Of memories Of
class scraps, color hangings and SIM
liar things to get wound around it,
In the fall OF 1887 high school course
was added 10 the grade work. The
High School had but one teacher, G.
M. Light and his title was changed
from Principal to superintendent"
He was the superintendent Of all the
school work In addition to his high
school duties. Until Thanksgiving
of that year, classes met 10 what was
known as "MuSic Hail." the present
City Hall and at Thanksgiving time
the high school was moved into its
new quarters, the first addition built
on the old Pioneer building. The
high School with this humble begip.
ning is now about to shed its shell
and blossom out with two fine large
which will be ready for
occupancy, according to present plans
before the end OF this year.

FOR An APPEAL.
Voluminous Record in Annexation
: Case Prepared By Clerk
Rucker

The record in the suit of the City
Of Alexandria against The counties of
Alexandria and Fairfax to secure ad-
ditional territory was completed yes
terday by George H. Rucker, clerk
of Alexandria Circuih Court, and
will be turned over to the attorneys
of Alexandria City as soon as they
can go to Alexandria county court
house and verify the record. This
will be done some lime this week
and work will be Immediately started
on the petition for an appeal to The
Supreme Court of Virginia. The pc
tition will be filed early in May, but
will not be considered by the Su-
premle Cours until they meet in
Wytheville in June.
In case the Supreme Court de-
cides that the facts as stated III the
petition, warrant an appeal, !: VIII
have the case docketed and vii. lat
er in the summer take up the evil
dence and permit the filing of briefs
by the attorneys Of the city al
counties. The final decision will ne
reached by the higher court and 1T
will not be referred to another judge
for a rehearing.
The record in the case is extremely
voluminous and has required several
months time to prepare. In addition
to the preliminary ma.ions and lie
murrers which were heard by Judge
Thornton, it contained 1850 pages of
testimony which was given before
Judge Bennett T. Gordan, of Nelson
county, and more than 20 large
maps which were introduced as EVIL
dence.
The expense of the appeal will be
large, the cost for the printing OF
the record being one of the largest
items. 1t is estimated that the PRINT
ed text will require two large vol
umes.
Alexandria city is represented by
Corporation Attorney Samuel +
Fisher, John NJ. Johnson and Samuel
G. Brent, who will have charge oil
the case before the Supreme Court.
