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!

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. For h'ind, bleed?
ing, itching and protruding Piles,
eczema, cuts, burns, bruises and all

In describing a commencement,
a paper said: "The stage present?

were the graduates, ten young girls
dressed in white, each carrying a
large bunch of carnations and one

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?

a boy proudly.

Saved from Terrible Death.
Tho family of Mrs M L Bobbitt of
Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking her life. In this
terrible hour Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption turned despair into joy.
The first bottle brought immediate relief
and its continued use completely cured
her. It's the most certain cure in the
world for all throat and lung trouble.
