Blacksburg has two dozen street lamps, we have seen them lit once since the first of April. But for Mayor Henderson's motto:

"Suaviter in modo, fortiter in re," and a consequent fear of his august, law-learned council, fain would we re-echo the bassic snort of the "War Horse," or the shrill screech of the "Crane" in one loud and hearty cry of BUST.

"Look here, where are diamonds made anyhow?" was the lapses linguae of well-not a tad-pole.

Mr. J. W. Peterman, of Roanoke College, formerly of the V. A. M. C., is teaching a writing class in college. He is the right man, doing a right work, in the right place.
