UNIVERSITY VIRGINIA NEWS
LETTER.

University, Va, November 9th,
10l8.--Orders have just been re-
ccived from the committee on edu-
cation and special training of The
War Department, directing comman-
ding officers of all student army
training corps units to demobolize
and discharge the men, commencing
December 1st, and continuing until
December 21st.
The University of Virginia an
nounces that all the regular courses,
including the law department, will
begin at the opening of the secono
term, January 2, and continue for
six months.
The University has arranged to
give a full years credit for any
academic subject to any student
whether previously registered or not
who completes satisfactorily the
work in this six months period, and
in addition will allow credit for the
terms work completed in the stu
dent army training corps.
1t is probable that students who
have served in the army, returning
to the University, will be allowed
credit in proportion to the length Of
such service.

KEEP CAR WINDOWS OPEN.

Several towns and cities in this
infected district, have ordered street
car windows to be kept open, as an
additional precaution. TO order that
crowds must not assemble even in
the open, and then permit people to
pack in tight, heated street car, is
senseless. The same order should be
issued here. The street car, partic-
ularly the 8 o'clock trip from North
Tnzcwell, is generally riIled to the
doors with pupils for school, and
every door and window as tight as
wax. The stuffy hot crowded car is
unsanitary, and little fresh mir
would help, and possibly prevent
somebody taking the Flu, particularly
as North Tazewell is an infected dis
trict: There is far less danger in a
ventilated school room, picture show
or church, than in a hot, crowded
street car, or in crowded postofrice
lobby, such as ours here several times
day. For goodness sake let every
prccaution be taken to prevent the
spread of the epidemic which has
already killed more people in the
United States than the German bull
lets killed in France.

"IT WAS GOOD TO BE THERE" /"

Last Sunday had the rare pleasure
Of eating Sunday dinner in the hos
pitable home of C. H. Reynolds, on
Cavatts Greek, and good dinner it
was, "and don't you forget it." We
had sausage and molasses and whole
lot of other things, only bucliwhcat
cakes were shy, but hot biscuits and
light rolls were fit for king. | re-
called a remark I heard country
preacher make once years and years
ago, at my mothers breakfast table
He was eating hot biscuits, butter
and honey, and drinking rich sweet
milk. He said between bites, "breth-
rem, this is glorious. feel that it is
good to be here"
l went over, after Sunday school,
in a car, Philip Reynolds at the wheel
We had only two elbow outs" be-
fore we got home-only two. 1t is
one of the many mysteries of car,
that tire will "shoot" on perfectly
smccth road, and then shoot again
before you get out of sight. But VT:
got there all the same. 1t has been &
contention Of mine all the, time, that
auto tires should be made of solid
rubber. The riding might not be quite
so easy, but the jars could be lesscned
fy increasing The spring action. But,
and here is the trouble perhaps, the.
tire people would sell fewer tires
They have 4 bonanza now in the bust
ness, and are not at all distressed
that tires blow out and wear out
quickly and easily. 1t is said that
, Ford will put, or is now putting,
solid tires on his cars, and his eX-
ample will be followed, and should
be, and quickly too.
Brother Reynolds and his wife's
folks, too, have been Baptists and
Democrats, from the beginning. Mrs
Reynolds is Russell county Fuller
