Highland Recokder. - ? ? Terms, $1.0X) a Year in Advance. Issued every Friday , veningby W. KC. MA T ?i_r_:N"Y ?oiToit A.ar=> rv3Lie??;}%. Eateied at the Monte:ey postoflice as second cJass matter. Monterey, Va., Friday, Sept, 26, 1002 rn -? _ The Recorder appreciates the ref? erence cf "Citizen" of Pinckney. to the part it took in agitating the school question at Monterey. We nre pleased to cae that lie ia a friend of the Monterey school aiul can see jo it a blessing to the county, and that be is aroused 1:0 similar needs nt other points. This is a great work before this "Citizen" as well ns all other citizens of the county, nnd any moye for theadvancement of the educational interests of the comity, will be heartily befriended by the Recorder. That the couuty has been sadly lax in its duty to its children, ex? cept those individuals who have been blessed with U_e means, with? in themselves, to educate their own, is a fact clearly yisible, aud to cause it to see that it should at once make amends, should not take ar? gument in any form, but it does. The public generally must be brought to face the responsibility placed upon it, and take up and discharge the obligation of the ed? ucation of its chi dren. It most be brought to see the matter as it really exists. That parents may desire to place their children in a position that Will fore-stali tie possibility of them ever being placed at a disad? vantage among their more fortu? nate fellows, andrelieye them from humiliation, when in their lives there may, and no doubt will, come a time that an educational test will be applied to them in order that they may exercise the rights of citizens, it is necessary that exist? ing facts be brought to bear, that they mny be talked oyer and medi? tated upon. The new constitution says "sol? dier or son of a soldier," and there it stops. Thanks is due to some? body that it does not say soldier or soldier's son, or the son of a sol? dier's son. andi as the children of today can not ste;? into citizenship on the war record of their fathers, they will haye to be provided with merits of their own, which will be education sufficient to meet the re? quirements of the test that will be applied to them, The children of school age to? day, in Highland, who, when they arriye at manhood, on account of insufficient education, can not meet the requirements demanded of them by the Jaw before they can enjoy tbe full rights of a citizen, can but attribute such a pitiable result to the fact that the generation before them was not aroused to the neces? sity of education ..nd did not use the powers in its hands advanta? geously. That these things may be fully realized by the psople of to-day, they will have to be talked about, read about and preached about, and as "Citizen" has preached once let bim preach again. Let other citi? zens preach, talk and think, and let our school officers proye to the tax? payer that the school taxes he pays is tbe best investment he makes, pud let our teachers chalk on the black board- EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT FOR HIGH? LAND? so that we, Highland's citizens of the present, may fully discharge our obligation to High? land's citizens of the future. Augusta Republicans Meet. A notable gathering of repub? licans assembled at Staunton on last Saturday. Jt is worthy of special mention because the opposing fac? tions of the tenth district, led by Jlon, Jacob Yost cn the one side and Col. S. tfrown Allen on thn other, met on common ground, and leaving past differences in the past for good and all, proceeded to cover deeply with brotherly love the hatchet of bitterness that had so jong kept them apart. This desire for peace in the ranks j \ti seems to h&ve ftfsfc taken posses, sion of Col. Allen who, in the j res euee of the convention, so express? ed himself to Yost. The leaders then retired and all differences were patched up, after which the cou-{I** yention proceeded to select dele-!.** gates to the 13ueliaiian congression al convention, which convention is p? to name a candidate to oppose Hon. dr* H. D. Flood our present tepresen- Co tative in Congress. : -v f I On the motion of Allen the deie 1 en gates pelecter) p pre instructed for Mi ifr ir Jacksons River News. Pinckxey, Sept. lom, 1902,? There has been a good bit of sick? ness in our community lately, most* ly all are better. Through the kindness of Messers G J Hiner and L A Shuffler we got] our threshing done which was al very short crop. The yield of oats ; was exceptionally good. Mr J P Hiner threshed 80 bushels, or near? ly 1^ bushels per dozen, Mr ll ll Terry 09 bushels of wheat which is the smallest crop for Mr T for many years. The corn and buckwheat is very good considering the dry season. The crop of hay was very much below an average yield. Mrs Jane Hiner who was called to Dunmore to see a sick brother, Mr Hugh McGlaughliu, has not yet returned home. This is lier first r&it to her old home for many years. Mr L A Shaffier has moved his saw mill to J H Pruitt* logs and will soon cut lumber for the new house Mr P expects to build. Protracted meeting in progress at Wesley Chapel conducted by Rev. Sponaugle in the absence of Rey. H T Heironiinous, Mr Geo Lamb who is operating ? saw mill in eastern Highland spent Sunday week at his hom. iiere. We are glad to see Ihe work on Monterey school building begun ind hope soon to see it completed. We feel an interest in that build ng as it is at our couuty seat, and i place where Gur boys and girls ian attend a high school at home, md, Mr Editor. I want to congrat? ulate you on the success of your well tjnied editorial, on that sub ect and now we ask you to preach i few short sermons on needs of ;he country children. There are nany who can not attend any school because the school houses ire too distant for them to reach i in rough weather. Let every child i :.ave equal privileges in the public schools and our academy at Mon? terey will always be crowded with bright boys and girls.. Success to the Recorder and the schools. Citizen. In Mentor him. It is with sorrow that we relate rhe sad death of our little friend, Roy Seiver Bustard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Bussard, who depart? ed this life Sept. 5th, 1902. Roy was the only living child to bless his parents, his other little brother preceediug him a little over \ month. His life in this world was short, being 1 yr. ll mos. and 3 days, yet his sweet smiles, pleas? ant face and tender voice are great? ly missed by his many friends and .specially by the parents at home, whom he loved so tenderly. He was only sick a short time until ieath came and claimed him as its victim. We extend to the broken? hearted parents our heart felt sym? pathies in the bereavement of their little ones, and commend them to the loving Savior who said, "Suffer little children to come unto me," ind as we know he is no more on ?arth, let us try and meet him in iieaven where no partings come. Dearest Roy thou hast left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God that hast bereft us, Ile can all our sorrows heal. Mamma do not weep for Koy, Though his form you'll see no more; He has only gone to brother, Over on that happy shore. Papa wc n't you try to meet them, When the toils of life are o'er; Won't you some day gladly greet them? " * Where you'll part no never more While we're here so lonely, Hoy is sleeping neath the sod; Yet his soul is safe with Jesus, Heating in the arms of God. He is now among the angels. Gone to join the glorious band; And we oft are led to heayen, J3y a little baby's hand. Whitten by his aunt, Bolah, Va. Take Care of the Stomach.
