AS “WEST POINT OF THE SOUTH” LEXINGTON, Va, May 6.—It is “the West Point of the South” that is the new command of Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune Genern! T:jcune, retir mandant of the United St: rine Corps, will become head of Virginie Military Institute next fall, succeeding Gen. William H. Cocke, retiring because of il health. ! The school, known the world over for almost a century, boasts a record of military service un- chailenged except by the United States Military Academy itself. | Eighty-two per cent of the living graduates served actively in the| World War. They ranged in age from 17 to 40. Tradition hovers over the stern gray walls of the old school, al- most a living thing, influencing the young men who enter. No more reckless courage was shown in the charge of the Light Brigade than in the charge of the V. M. I cadets at New Market in 1864. The men Tennyson made immortal were veterans of the British Army; the V. M. 1. cadets were boys. The youngest was not qnite 14 and the oldest 19. Rushed to the front lines at their own request, the youths repelled the attacks of the Federal legions and when the blue line faltered led | the charge that turned an appar-| nt defeat nto victory. Of the 279 charge, 57 were casu- ' com- g % L pen of a poet has! to do the brush of the ar-| accomplished.

S. Aftorney's office from C. M. Browning, United States Commissioner at Hot Springs. | Al indications, including the | finding of ‘a few bones and a tooth, {point to the two men having lost |their lives, Mr. Browning said, but |he added that no positive state- ment could be made at this time |because the heat of the embers |made a thorough secrch of the {ruins impossible. { The men believed to have been burned to death are O. Giroux, a | Frenchman who has farmed for many years at Baker Bluff, seven ;miles above Hot Springs, and Joel Westerlund, a trapper and fisher- man. The latter leaves destitute a native wife and three small chil- {dren, Mr. Browning's wire said. | The persons reporting the fire (found Westerlund's dog team tied lin front of the smouldering ruins of Giroux’s house but saw no signs of the presence of human beings. !

J. Fairburn vs. |Mrs. Charles Denton. The ver- | et find§ for Mr. Fairburn in the | sum of $200 plus interest from Dec- | ember 20, 1927. | The case arose out of a transac- tion in the postal saving deparl-! ment of the local post office, of | which Mr. Fairburn is assistant | postmaster. Mrs, Denton deposited a4 sum of money there on Decem- ber 20, 1927, which she contended to be $2,395 and which Mr. Fair-| burn after a recount after Mrs. Denton had gone, claimed to be| $200 less than that amount. Testi- | mony was brought by the plaintiff in an effort to prove that Mrs,“ Denton had offered to refund a| lesser amount than the alleged | shortage but Mrs. Denton denied | she made such an offer. —_——— DRILLING TO START AT OIL CAMP SOON | When they arrived the fire was {still burning and although they made every effort to find the re- ‘mnins of the two men the heat was !so intense that “we could do but imue.

Mrs. Clink brought a number of pictures in with her, showing the complete rig and general views of the camp and giving some idea of the large amount of swmow it was necessary to dispose of before the new rig could be installed. The snow was removed by means of thawing, and at the time the pic- tures were taken there still re- mained great snow banks all about the camp, with very little sign of spring.
