II will be seen from, these figures
that the receipts in North Dakota
have been very much smaller than
those in any other state in the group,
with the single exception of South Da-

fact that in the two Dakota the work
of construction and pioneering is still
under way in a measure not thought

A "Three Times Winner"

Junior" Brown has, this off po-
litical year, been returned to Con-
gress from the Second West Vir-
ginia District by a greatly in
creased majority, as a we'll mer-
tied endorsement of faithful and
effective service to his constitu-
ents. This too despite the fact
that he had but ten days in which
to campaign the fourteen coun-
ties of the District because he had
to remain on the firing line with
Wilson at Washington until Con-
gress adjourned.
Every specious argument and
gloomy representation was used
to deceive the voter but with no
avail.
West Virginia. Democracy gains
one seat in the House by the re-
turn OF Brown, and that other
splendid Democrat Mansfield M.
Nicely and by the election of
Adam B. Littlepage who has
apparently redeemed the Kanaw-
ha District and will return to car
ry out the great work begun in
his first term.
1t is too early to fully analyze
the result of the elections in gem
eral, but that Congress remains
safely Democ in both
branches, with an increased ma
iority IN the Senate must be con-
strued as 4 vote of confidence in
Woodrow Wilson and those who
compose his administration.
The verdict will be still more
emphatic in 1916.

JEFFERSON COUNTY.
Our county has often been STYLED
1.-THE garden spot Of Virginia, and no
one who views it, at this moment, can
deny the correctness of the application.
In strength and productiveness, the
soil is not surpassed, perhaps, by any
in the world for the growing of wheat;
and in no county IN Virginia is the land
SO universally rich and tillable. If we
except that strip of the Blue Ridge
which skirts our Eastern boundary,
there is scarcely an acre which is not
capable of rewarding richly the labor
of the husbandman.
During the late unprecedented de-
preston of the prices of produce, and
the consequent depreciation of the val
ne of farms, we have seen land sold at
public auction, for ready money, at
thirty dollars per acre, which possess
ed no extraordinary advantages what

Charles Town to Become An
Educational Centre.

The sale of the Powhatan Col

new owners means more for the
future of Charles Town Ransom
than anything that has transpir-
ed in many day.
The purchaser, Miss Maria
Pendleton Duval, who resigns
after sixteen years tenure, the
management of the famous Stu
art Hail. school at Staunton, has
a nationwide reputation as an
educator, which makes the sue

ton.
Here she win be in the house
of her friends" as one to the
manner born. -
A niece of John Esten Cooke,
whose Surrey of Eagles Nest"
has delighted two generations,
Miss Duval comes of distinguish
ed and cultured lineage.
: That her achievement in maxi
ing Stuart Hail. one of the
leading girls schools of the
country will be duplicated, if
not exceeded here, is not to be
doubted.
1t is proposed to Immediately
improve the splendid property
acquired and to have it in CONF
plete readiness tor the reception
of scholars next September.
The benefit of we'll equipped
schools to the local community
in affording the double advantage
of the best teachers and methods
with the satisfaction of home SUI
peryision and training has been
exemplified in that other splen-
did institution, Stephenson Sem
mary"
That one will complement the
other and that by reasons of its
proximity to the great centres of
population its salubrity, exquis-
lite surroundings aud unrivaled
social advantages, Charles Town
will ere long be recognized as in
deed the Athens of the Shenar-
doah Valley and the logical 1oca
ton for schools for both sexes, is
no mere conjecture.
When Professor Kable, a native
of Jefferson, left the old Acade-
my here to take up the work of
establishing a military school at
Staunton, it was, not believed
that as result of his energy so
fine success would be recorded
One that does more for the bus
mess as we'll as the intellectual
life of Staunton than any one
other agency.
Every civic activity will be
stimulated by the opening Of Miss
Duval's school. At a conserva-
tive estimate a thousand dollars
a week or more will reach every
local avenue of trade. Not only
will our merchants and mechan-
les be benefited and an addition
al home market for our farmers
and truckers afforded, but the l1o-
tells, boarding houses. 1iveries
laundries,all will feel the stimu-
lus of the hundred and one ex-.
penditures which the school will
bring with it.
And no one thing will so well
and SO widely advertise the un.
paralleled advantages of this ou1
home town as the coming of a
hundred or more of the daugh.
ters of the professional and bust
ness leaders of the country
South and North, East and West,
to secure the inestimable advant-
ages of education in this fair
country where every prospect
pleases" and conditions are in
truth ideal.
The debt the community owes
to the two or three gentlemen to
whom the main credit for this
community achievement is due,

ticularly at this time, their mod.

preston of appreciation.

Mr.. Sheehan displayed great breadth

tenor. and In his solo, ''On That DARK

("dt quella pira,") reached high c. for
which his voice has become noted.
Miss Garments opening solo at once
won the admiration of the audience,
her execution OF the difficult MY Noble

Her best number was in the four,h

eeding her duet with Mr.. Sheehan in
the famous "Miserere.'
Miss De Sellem's rich contralto was
shown to advantage in her different
numbers, and especially pleasing was
her song with Mr.. Sheehan in the clos
ing act. Home to Our Mountains. Miss
De Sellem's portrayal of the gypsy
nag also afforded her wide range for
her acting. and her chara cterization
MAS splendid.
Another pleasing number was Mr.
Deane's solo The Tempest OF the

voice, and his acting was very I'm
