Highland Recokdei Terms, $1.00 a Year in Advance. Issued CTerv Friday evening by W. IS. 3VIA.TKE3>T"S', ac*si-ro--% A.>rr> -{?"O'SL-iiExrER. Entered at the Monterey postoffice ? second class matter. Monterey, Va., Friday, Jan. 29, 190 TT_._ *?> Other Changes In Highland .fla Service. Now that the Monterey-Durbi mail route ii established there ai other chances in the Highland ma service that we think would Dat Ul Jilly follow. The ring mail could he discon tiuued and to supply thc servic rendered by it un nrrangemen something like the following coul be made: Let the .Jacksons Rive mail come directly to Monterey, ex tend the Back Creek route tu High town and Iel the territory frou Monterey, hy way of Strait Creel Forks of Water and Crabbottom to I Ugh town, he supplied by i rural free delivery route. This arrangement, or something similar to it that might he suggest ed, would not onlv supply the *er vice now given hy the present riuj rout,-1, hut would, in addition, giv' to the territory extending fron Monterey tn Forks of Water, a dis? tance of seyen miles, mail facilities from which it has been wholly de prived for ii number of years. Thi Strait Creek country would, ni doubt, have been covered by a mai route, hut for the fact there is ni suitably located family who conk take the postoffice, but our propo sitiou of an K. F. D. route wonk completely overcome this obstacle The ablive, in brief, is an explana tioil of tl?e situation, from whicl it can lie gathered that our clair, for an li. F. D. route is a pi opel proposition. We Highlanders are most med est. We want hut little and ol account of our modesty ask foi less. Hut, now, t!,at we want something badly, and as our want; are so few, we believe our honoree representatives at Washington wil give us ti helping hand, and se* that we are granted this single simple request by Uncle Sam, sc that we may know, really anc truly, that we pre a part, if ever sc small, of his great domain. Public School Statistics The superinten dent of public in structiou in his annual repor shows a decrease in the number ol schools in Virginia, many having been consolidated. There are nov 89G5 schools, a decrease of 89. Thi white pupils number 257,138 ant Negroes 118.-103. This is a falling off due to the age of entrance hav ing been rixed at 7 years. In thi higher public schools the irbita have increased more than out 1,00( and the negroes have decreased 300. Females greatly preponder? ate among the teachers of both races. A Night Alarm. Worse than an alarm of fire at night is the brassy cough of croup which sounds like the chiliren's death knell, and it means death un? less something is done quickly. Foley's Hone? *nd Tar never fails to give instant relief and quickly cures the worst forms of croup. Mrs PL Cordier. \>f Cannington, Kv. writes: "My three year old girl had a severe case of croup: the doctor said she could not live. I got a bottle of Foley's Money and Tar. the first dose gave quick relief and it saved her life. For sale by Monterey Druggist. How to Help Kural Schools.? There are a number of ways in whic!) the rural schools may Le helped: 1 Local taxation. 2 Consolidation of districts. 3 Improvement and beautifying of school houses and grounds. (I am glad to report that the students of Winthrop College organised last year a State Association of Women for help in this work and haye al? ready accomplished something.) 4 Rural libraries. ?>5 Bj securing closer and more expert supervision. We could aid in securing and hastening these result* by arous? ing public opinion through ad? dresses to the people and publica? tion^, newspaper and circular, and in other ways that, will suggest themselves.- -President D li John son, Columbia Conference, April ll, 1903. Wonderful Nerve. Is displayed by many a man enduring pains of accidental Cuts, Wounds, Bruises, Burnes, Scalds, Sore feet or stiff joints. But there's no need for it. Buck len's Arnica Salve will kill the pain and cure the trouble. It's the best Salve on earth for piles, too, 25c, atKH Trimble's! Druggist. il RURAL SCHOOL LIBRARY '"No group of pupils can grow in knowledge without access to a li? brary. The rural school library should be small. Only thc best hooks should be selected. The teacher should know the library and be the librarian."?Southern Education. The women of the South are taking up this matter in many of the Southern States and by person? al persistent effort are accomplish? ing a wonderful work. Highland county should make ? start in this work. Here is a work for Ihe ladies. Let them organize anti, start a library at a central point in each of the three district of the county, and let these gibra Hes he circulating as to all the schools of their respective districts, the teachers having the care of the book--. Think of the influence that it is possible for one good book to have. Think of the possible scope of such a work and the ladies of Highland can, in a measure, estimate the work to which they are called. Our columns are open for the discussion of the matter by any wide awake women of the county who desire to se^ better education? al facilities in Highland. Whats In a Name? , Everything is in the name when it comes to Wited Hazel Salve. E C Oe Witt & Co. of Chicago discover? ed some years ago how to make a salve from Witch Hazel that is a specific for Piles.

A member of a school board once asked a class of children if any of them could tell what an epidemic was. No answer "Well, let me prompt you. An epidemic is any? thing that spreads. Now what's an epidemic?" "Jam, sir," replied a boy proudly. Not long ago, when the venera? ble Edward Everett Hale wqs on a visit to New York, lie boarded a crowded Broadway car for a trip uptown. A lad in a corner rose and politely offered the old man his seat. Dr Hale took it, saying in his hearty way as he did so: "Thank you, my boy. thank you. I'll do as much for you when you are eighty, if I happen to be around then."
