Despite the heat of the day, Mr..
Roosevelt was nearly as clipper as
ever He looked thinner than for

health. he replied that he had heen

Welt was delighted with the work of
the taxidermists who had set up the
various wild beasts that ne had

pleasure time and again. Some of
the sneeiments recalled incidents OF

No Exchange Allowances.


The proposed plan, It is further
argued. does not provide for any ex-
change allowances. Under the exist
ing conditions a pupil turns In his
old books and gets from forty 10
nifty per cent allowance In the pur-
chase OF new book The publishers
have to stand any losses incurred in
this way
Two specimens of geogra plies We're
shown The Virginian last night, one
used In California and the other Of
fered for adoption in Virginia. The
California geography, turned out by
the state printery from plates rent
ed from the publishers. was Of such
inferior quality that II is safe to say
that the Virginia board of education
would not consider it's adoption.
Printing and binding both were of
very inferior quality, while on the
other hand the book offered for use
in the Virginia schools was of first
class makeup
Casting all these side advantage
aside, however, ii Is claimed that the
differences In prices as between Calf
fornia. under the plate system. and
Virginia, under the present system
do not want the change.

A Coon Praisie Farm Owned by
Early Pioneer

What is known as the Andrew Lar
son farm of a qusrrer section. three
miles north of Vizoqla, on which the
little station Of Budley is located. and
has both the Milwaukee, and Southeast
ern railways. has made .apid evolutions
of late, changing three times. A few
weeks since Andrew Larson, Junior,
exchanged the place 10 the Bank Of vi
roqua. ard in turn il was purchased by
John =. Stoll, and Friday last he sold
It jointly to DR.. 7. C. Henderson of
lStoughton and E. H. Bjoin of Rice
bake. These gentlemen are business
men and hustlers and preparing TO put
the farm in good shape for dairSing
and tobacco groWing next year They
viii temporarily repair present build
ings, and have so soon selected location
for new residence and outbuildings. 1t
is probable that 3 R Nichols of this
city viii have management ard reside
on the place.
1t win be satisfaction to dwellers
and neiphbors Of that section TO know
that this historic old plantation is TO be
|rejuvenate1 and made to blossom as of
yore. 1t is through the energy and
foresight of John =. Stoll that this de-
sired change in conditions is to be
brought about He's doin' something
all the time with his head and hands
This is a hint. too, that if any Of our
readers want to buy a farm, or to sell
one, it will be safe proposition to
consult Stoli He has some tracts of
30, 80 and $50 acres, or larger places
to sell or trade.
