Colonel Robert T.. Lee, grandson
of General Robert T.. Lee, command
cr in chief Of the Confederate armies
died last week ut Virginia College,
Itoanokc, Va, following an illness
of many months. He was 80 years
old. Col. Lee became i'll last March
and went to Hot Springs, Va, to re-
gain his health. He fingered be-
tween life and death for days and
then rallied sufficiently to be
brought to Roanoke in q private car.
Since June he and Mrs. Lee have
been visiting at Virginia College. AT
one time his recovery seemed prob
able, but due to the condition of his
health little hope was entertained
during the past month. Heart trouble
was given as the cause of his death.
Funeral services were held on Sat
urday morning in the Episcopal
Church at Lexington and interment
was made in the Lee mausoleum at
Washington and Lee University.
Beside his widow he is survived
by his mother and one brother. Dr..
George Boiling Lee, Of New York.
His death leaves DR.. Lee as the only
male descendant of the Confederate
chieftain.

Nearly 300 teachers in West Vir-
3inia rural schools last year organ
lied Four-H Agricultural Clubs

ceivc the coupon of credit which
entitled them to additional pay. This
pay varied between 81 90 and $500
Il month for what ever period the
teacher worked with the club. The
members of these school clubs rep
resent from 1000 to 5000 of the r.
600 boys and girls who carried pro-
jcctS last year. This year nearly
double the number Of teachers arc
expected to qualify for coupons of

shown by the teachers ut the various

The matter was presented and dis
cusscd. Many teachers have already

DRAWING CLOSE.

The election is drawing near and
1t is time that all local candidates
be in the field and make thorough
campaign Of the county. Be it re-
membered that the smallness of the
Democratic majoritieS in Grcrl-
brier county in recent years can be
attributed to the lack of activity on
The part Of candidates and Demo
Gratis in general. Our Republican
friends in recent years have been
working and Democrats have been
in active.
There is no excuse for not win
ming Democratic victory this fall.
The people are tired of high taxes
and the expense Of local State Gov
ernment and a logical campaign
should be run in way TO win back
what the party has lost in past
years. and then to make good after
election. This is not a year for in
difference and inactivity on the part
Of Democrats bu! it is year for the
hardest work that has ever been
done in the county for the party and
for the people. Get to work now
and stay at and on the Job until the
close Of the polls on November the
