can afford. A large quantity of real

Meeting of County Teacher*.
The teachers of the county have long
felt the need of concerted action. We
have some district associations which
are now doing good work, but in order
to establish these on a firmer basis, it
is necessary to have a county ieague.
We should not stand idly by with hands
folded while laws are being (or may
be) passed to the detriment of our
profession. It is not the wish or in
tention of the Legislature to do so,
but such is often the case, simply be
cause the teachers do not express their
wishes. We also need to give expres
sion to opinions on educational sub
jects. To this «nd it is my pleasure to
call a mass meeting of the teachbis of
tbe county, for Saturday, Feburary 3,
at 11 a. m. We have not yet secured
a hall, but the meeting wiil be held in
Staunton ou the above date aud at the
stated time. Special committees will
meet at 10 o'clock. W. L. Kerr.

vain. His death is lamented by a
large number of friends and relatives.

The Spectator is the Best.
J. L. Hupman, of San Francisco,

Although I have been away from my
old native place, Staunton, eleven
years, your personal column contains
many familiar names to me. We are
solid for the retention of tbe Philip

' ed his duties quietly, lint so fully and
i faithfully that sever w«s ther* any
, question asked as to tbe maimer of his
conducting bis office. His association
with the brethren was without osten
tation, but cordial and sympathetic;
be was always cheerful, friendly and
helpful, never criticising or complain
ing. He seemed to act through lifej
ou the assumption that everybody else!
was doing his duty as faithfully as
himself. If he was ever disappointed
in tbis, if he was ever betrayed by a
friend, his bebavior did not show it; he
never lost faith in those with whom his
lot was cast. Nor did bis trust in the
immortal life and the everlasting re
wards beyond ever seem to waver. Wm.
A. Burnett was a man who believed in
his kind, who believed in God, who
loved his neighbor, who loved life and
nature, and who lived fully up to his
opportunities and his beliefs. We be
lieve that his soul is at rest in the
peaceful abode of tbe blest.
"Resolved, Therefore, that this lodge
of Knights of Honor, while deeply
grieved at the loss of our brother, yet
rejoices in his beautiful, useful and
helpful lite.

Cleaning Silver
Instead of scouring and rubbing each piece of
silver separately, the whole service can be as
effectively cleaned in a few minutes. After each
meal the silver should be put into a pan (kept
especially for the purpose) and cover with luke
warm water, to which a teaspoonfull of
Gold Dust Washing Powder
Is added; set the pan on tbe range until the water
gets to boiling point, then lift out each piece with
a wire spoon and lay on a soft linen cloth, wiping
quickly with chamois skin. The pieces so clean
ed will be highly polished and look like new.

CI PIES! CUT PIES!
Xot when the season is over, but now, at the beginning of the season and
as long as tbe goods last. We bought our stock early, and lots of the same
goods are much higher now, but you will get the advantage of the low prices
as long as tbe present stock lasts. Again, we have lots of Job Lots; goods
that we bought at about half price, perfect goods, but just a few of a kind and
it is hardly worth while to quote prices on them unless you come at once as
they will be closed in a few days. Below we quote a few articles in each de
partment, just to show you we are not trying to mislead you. We can only
quote prices on a few for want of space, but every department is full.
