Local notes on public school delegate and shore scenes
Misa Armistead, a popular school principal near Beulah church, returned from a Richmond Educational Convention trip reporting it pleasant and profitable. Miss Faris of Albemarle taught music, spent Thanksgiving in Newport News, and both ladies returned to teach after visiting the wharf. A tale recalls Lane’s nimrod like a modern David Crockett, and a coon hunt yields an opossum. The shore hosts a launch christening with Georgie Miles at the prow. Red Men held a cornerstone and oysters fed the crowd. Nearby, Garretts' saw mill, hampered by faulty machinery, gains expert help and doubles lumber output with Stoakley’s aid.
