Our hIqh Schools
Woodstock, Va, August 2

Woodstock, Va, August %, 1918
As it is about the time for our high
schools to open, it is interesting to
note the large number OF boys and
girls in all parts OF county who Will
enter them. The demands OF the
times make greater than ever before
the need for at least q high school
education. The State Board of Edu'
cation recently ordered that no per-
son may receive a first grade certifi-
cate after January /, 1919, unless
they have the equivalent OF two years
of high school work. Within the
past year, a large number OF our boys
in the Army and Navy have made
application for special training
schools or camps. In most cases
these camps or schools lead to com
missions. 1t has been my observa
ton that the boys who have had high
school training have stood far bet
ter chance than the boys who have
not had such training.
The demand for labor is very great
and yet it ia a subject for thoughtful
consideration on the part of every
parent as to whether or not he will
deprive his children of high schoo
education at this ii me or whether ht
will give them the chance to prepare
themselves for the keen competition fol-
advancement which must prevail aftel
the war Is over.
Very respectfully submitted,

"Another thing which Is hitting the

Every druggist in town-your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has
noticed q great falling off in the sale
Of calomel. They all give the same
reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is
taking its place.
"Calomel Is dangerous and people
know 1t, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
suits" said a prominent local drug
eist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs but
few cents, and If 1t fails to give
easy relief in every case OF liver
sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money
back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take q spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipated

County. met with an accident which
. resulted In serious injury to Mrs.

: carriage drawn by q young horse
Mrs. Shif1ett was driving and beside
, her was Miss Shore with her nephew
the grandson of Mrs. Shifflett, who is
about one year old on her lap.
| When they reached the farm be-
longing to Mr.. Lee Long, which is
about three miles above Mount
Jackson, they met big red
touring car bearing Pennsylvania
license, coming at a rapid rate. The
horse SHE'D and backed across the
pike. The driver of the car was un-
kble to stop or even pass around and
struck the horse and carriage with
such force that the horse was thrown
clear of the road and across the wire
fence ON the west side, breaking its
leg and cutting deep cash just un-I
der the right fore leg. The im-l
pact was so great that the carl
riage was literally torn to|
pieces, demolishing the top and front
wheels and the occupants we're thrown
clear Of the vehicle. After striking
the horse and carriage the machine
took header for a telephone pole,
and was not stopped until it had run
into the pole and the fence.
Mrs. Shiff1et had her collar bone
broken and received other injuries Of
q minor nature, the child was thrown
into the field and wher it was picked
seemed to be stunned but strange to
say, 1t afterwards developed that it
was entirely uninjured. Miss Shore
came OF with good shaking up but
without serions injury.
After the accident, Mrs. Shifiett
was removed to the Long residence
where her injuries received medical
attention. When seen about five !.
O'Clock Friday evening she was sit
ting on the porch and preparations
were made to take her home. |.
MIR. Hhif1lett stated that from the
that he made it appear
ed thai the accident could have been
avoided had the car been going at
the proper speed, but that at the rate
it was going, nothing could have
prevented it after it was discovered
hat the horse had become frightened. 9
The car was considerably injured n
and was taken to New Market for re- @
pairs. The horse was 30 badly in Q
ured that 1t had to be shot. 1t
After the accident the driver OF the Il
Ear rendered valuable assistance to 9

Farmers Home Mutual
Fire Insurance Company

The Thirty-ninth meeting OF the
Farmers Home Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company, was held at the Court
House on the 23d inst. AS there was
not q quorum present, one half Of the
policy holders, no business was trans
acted.
1t will be seen from the Treasurer 5
report that was sent to policy hold
ers that the Company starts the new
year with over IS, 10000 in the treas
ury and unless the losses greatly ex.
coed those of the year just closed, an
assessment may not be necessary
next year.
The net new insurance issued from
July 81, 1917 to August s, amounted
to 1858, 1900 and the total amount
of insurance is now approximately
four million dollars represented by
about $500 policies.
From the report of the Treasurer
| it will be seen that the losses paid
to the 9Th inst. have been s2,730.25.
While somewhat In excess OF the
average for the past 10 years, is q
small amount considering that the
amount of insurance has more than
doubled in that period. Still atten-
ton is called to the fact that while
the losses by fire in Ne U. 8. for 1917
were $3.50, 600, 10000, the largest in
the history of the country except One
