Since our last report, the city has j paved the side walk in front of the j Graded school building and the Civic 1 League made it possible for the ways from the walk to the front entrance | of Graded school paved.

The splendid re sponse of patrons and friends to our call for contributions fcr school im provement has made it possible to have some plowing and leveling about the High school done. Stationary bcnches have been put about over the school grounds and a Webster's New International Dictionary purchased forj use in the High school. To all who made these improvements possible, I the teachers and pupils extend their j most sincere thanks. The Daughters of the Confederacy j j of the town have done well to keep j J alive the memories of the heros of the : sixties. The entrance of the High1 I school building is largo and would be' i a most appropriate place for a mural i ! tablet. Here, two hundred children at the most impressionable age, pass back and forth daily. A tablet here j would perhaps do more to impress j I their hearts and minds with the great- j ! ness and sacredness of the Lost Cause than possibly anything else that could be done. A medal offered to the High school puipl who writes the best essay upon j the Confederacy or some theme relat ing to this subject would not be in-; j appropriate. The essay might be read at the exercises on Memorial Day in May. It is a great pleasure to report a fine spirit that exists among the grades to excel. The tenth grade pupils have organ ized their class adopting a beautiful j ! pin with inlaid letters "A. If. S." and i I "1.3," date of purple enamel. The class colors are purple and gold. The offi cers are: President, Miss Ruth Syfan; Secretary, Miss Margaret Williams; Historian, Miss Birch Clinkscales; Miss Cleo Duncan, Critic; Ernest! Gary, Poet; Miss Margaret Williams, Prophet. The High school was visited during the Baptist, convention by sev-1 eral delegates. Among them being Rev. Graves L. Knight, Superintendent of the Graniteville schools, where he has taught for twenty years. Mr. Knight is perhaps One of the best teachers and best posted school men in the State. His talk to the school at the morning assembly was interest ing and very much enjoyed. FAMOUS VIRGINIA "FAIRY" OK "LUCKY STONES" OX SALE. The McMurray Drug Company now have on sale a consignment of the fa mous Virginia "Lucky" stones, about which there is a superstition that the weaver will be protected from harm. The legend of these stones runs some what as follows: "As to the real origin of these little i Crosses of stone, comparatively noth- < ing is known, as the leading scientists i of the country have failed to throw s any satisfactory light on the subject; S but in that remote mountain section runs a very pretty legend to the ef fect that hundreds of years before King Powhatan's dynasty came into power, long before the woods breathed the gentle spirit of the lovely Poca hontas, the fairies were dancing ' around a spring of limpid water, play ing with the naiads and wood nymphs, when an elfin messenger arrived from a strange city far, far away in the | land of the dawn, bringing the sad tidings of the death of Christ, and when they heard the terrible story of the crucifixion they wept. And as their , oft foil nnnri the earth they were , crystalized into little pebbles, on each of which was formed a beautiful cross, j When the fairies had disappeared j from this enchanted spot the ground about the spring and the adjacent val ley were strewn with these unique , j mementoes of that melancholy event." j No trouble to give Conkey's Roup < Remedy.
