They examined and accepted
the new dormitory building.
This building has been in uBe
since June
Colonel }. S. Browning has
donated TO the Normal Library
a considerable part of his large

The Yong Women's Christian
Association gave a reception TO
the faculty and students in the
parior OF the new dormitory

ton will have the services Of a
student secretary for the present
session This win very much
enlarge the opportunities of the
Association. Five young ladies'
attended the Southern students
conference at Black Mountain
last June to prepare themselves
for leadership in the Associa-
ton for the present session.
The Normal School has just
issued an interesting bulletin
giving an account of the un
yelling of the lngles' Memorial
tablet in the Iugles Literary
Society. This bulleting gives
many interesting things in CON
nection with the life of Mrs.
Ingles who was the first white
woman married west of the AL
leghaney Mountains. She was
carried away captive by the
Indians and made her escape
after one of the most remark
able exhibitions of heroism
every known in woman. Many
of the most prominent people in
Virginia and the South are
decended from her.
Both the Ingles and the Poca-
hontas Literary Societies have
resumed work Practically all
the new students nave entered
one or the other of these
societies.
The stu d ent government
association, having control of
the students during study
hours, aud the honor system in
class room and on examinations,
is well established in this in
stitution and is universally up
held and approved by the
students.

Military enthusiasm in Wise
county at the present time is
apparently very great, aud
Capt. Bullitt has made applica-
lions for enlistment from thirty
to fifty men living outside of
Big Stone Gap. He believes
that the best way to prepare
for defense tx To have and
maintain an efficient militia
rather than "a large standing
army 1t is practically impos-
sible to organize and maintain
an efficient military company
in a town tie SIZE of Big Stone
Gap cOmposed wholly of citi-
zens of the town, aud Captain
Bullitt has, therefore, obtained
permission to organize squads
at other points in the county
The Company cannot take on
additional men, however, un.
less more money can be raised
to meet the additional expense
incident to having men located
away from the home station
Captain Bullitt is endeayoriug
to raise money for this purpose.
and hopes to be able to do this
and to increase the Company TO
full war strength within "a
short time. The Company now
has a good squad at Wise and
has several applications for en-
listment from Norton and can
organize squad or two squads
of good men there at any time.
If Captain Bullitt succeeds in
the effort 10 raise additional
funds for the support OF the
Company il is also expected TO
organize squads at other points
in the county.
ON the whole, the exhibition
at Wise was quite "a success
and both men and officers are
to be congratulated on the
showing made.

WEST FORK IS A
 THRIVING PLACE

FAIRBANKS.-The most thriving community in the Tolovana country at the present time is Westfork at the head of navigation on the Tolovana river above the log jam, according to the statement of Tom Patterson, the Tolovana merchant. At the present time there are about 15 cabins there aside from the two stores, roadhouse, two warehouses and two sawmills. He attributed the growth of West fork to the fact that all of the freight is being shipped that way, and must be reloaded there for transportation to Livengood creek.
 Mir. Patterson himself has one of the stores in a 20 by 40 building. He also uses the building as a warehouse where he stores goods landed from the boats on a 5O-foot wharf built of logs. Teddy Anderson is the owner of the other store which at the pres ent time, is established in a 20 by 30 tent.-News-Miner.
