cert was given under the auspices

ton Institute. of which R.-Nathaniel
Dett Is the CONDUCTOR
Russians Deeply Moved
The Ukrainian singers were eneored
again and again. They were greeted
with sympathy and fervor by the $50
Hampton Institute students, who
sang to them, under the leadership
of Paige /. Lancaster, formerly a
song leader and first lieutenant of
THE Buffaloes," four Negro folk
songs-"Ride On. Jesus" Nobody
Knows the Trouble I've Seen" "Look
Away in the Heaven" and "Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot"
Some of the Ukrainian singers de-
ciared that in all their travels
through Germany, France, and Bel
GUM they had never heard such
thrilling chorus singing as that which
was furnished to them by the Hamp-
ton Institute students. They fairly
danced with joy behind the curtain.
after the Hampton students sang for
them the primitive and developed
Negro folk melodies.

LONESOME PINE TRAIL
Mayor Horsley
Is Being Talked About by
Madam Rumor.

Madam Rumor has been tell
ing tales on the Honorable w. j.
Horsley, mayor of Big Stone
Gap, and while he will not DENY
or confirm the report he admits
that there are things on his mind
other than keeping the town
quiet and orderly. 1t seems that
the mayor, who, by the way. has
been widower for several years,
has a mighty good memory and
his thoughts are now drifting
back to many years ago. He re-
members very well Of knowing a
little girl down in sunny Tenncs-
see, with whom he was very
much in love, whose father was
not any too fond Of him aud to
keep him from bothering his
daughter sent her TO boarding
school whore he was not even
permitted to look upon her smil-
ing face much less write to her.
She was kept in this school for
several years and in the mean
time he came to Virginia and
about the time she left school
the report reached him that She
had married another fellow, and
She also received the same report
that he had married another girl,
which reports were purposely
manufactured, but it turned the
trick all right. Each thinking
the other married in the course
'of time found their respective
life partners and lived happy
lives, forgetting their little ro-
nance.
This was more than thirty
years ago and neither heard Of
the other until short while ago
and the wife of the one and the
husband of the other being dead
the old love was soon kiudled
and n rapid correspondence fol
loved, and folks, we tell you,
the mayor is not talking about
anything else just now.
Although the mayor will not
acknowledge "anything" he
does admit that he is going down
to Nashville next week to see

ion. The promotion of this high
way reaching from Ironton, Ohio,
to Asheyille, n. O., and Knox

route follows the Mayo Trail
from Ashland, KY, to Jenkins
and across the mountain at
Pound Gap, to Norton, Wise,
Big Stone Gap, Pennington Gap,
Jonesyille, Rogersyille, Red

and Asheville, and from Rogers

At Ironton, Ohio, and Russell,
Ky, is being constructed the

er, costing $3.50, 900 which will
be completed by next May or
June. This is the only bridge
on the Ohio for distance Of

of such questions are reaching

The revenue act Of 1921 also pro-
vides for each person dependent
upon the taxpayer if such person
is under eighteen years of age
or Incapable Of self support be-
