f. Church convened in Morgantown
with Bishop Mallalrier presiding.
This was one of the most pleasant
and interesting sessions the Confer
ence has ever enjoyed. The weather
was fine, the hospitality of the town
unsurpassed, the brethren were all
in good spirits, and the Bishop won
his way to the hearts and affections
of the preachers and people.
His sermon on Sunday was mas
terly effort. He will long be remem-
bered by those who were present.
The preachers are being favored
with fine weather in which to move
to their new homes. Farmers are
also redeeming the time in doing up
the fall work.
This is splendid country and we
can boast of abundant crops. The
fruit crop is especially good. Far
mers are well up with their work ;
most of the seeding is done and corn
gathering will begin soon. We have
had some pretty heavy frosts this
fall, but no material damage was
done.
The public schools have generally
commenced in this county. The free
school system is pronounced sue
cess and more attention is being
given to education now than ever
before. This is seen in raising the
standard for and consequently secu-
ring a better class of teachers.
The temperance cause is steadily
advancing throughout the State. No
question will awaken greater inter
est or call tor more enthusiasm than
the temperance question and there
can be no doubt if it was submitted
to vote OF the people, whisky would
be banished from our Mountain
State.
There is still plenty of good land
that can be bought cheap, and the
resources of West Virginia are al
most inexhaustible. We think cap
italists would do well to look at our
State before investing elsewhere.
Your paper is regular visitor at
our home, and we think would be q
welcome visitor among all your pat
rOns.
With best wishes for your sue
cess, l am, respectfully,
ITINERANT's WIFE.

law last Monday took Mr.. Corwin's
revolver, called the dog and started
hunting; short distance from the
house he tried to cock the revolver,
having it turned toward him, his
thumb slipped, the revolver went off,
the ball penetrating his right side
coming out at the shoulder blade on
his left side. The dog returned and
by his curious actions induced Mr..
Corwin to follow him; he led them
to where the little fellow was lying
dangerously wounded. The boy,
when last we heard, was getting
along rs well as could be expected.
Such are the particulars as reported
to us.
A few of our Republicans went to
Salem, Wednesday evening to hear
Grosvenor get off the stereotyped
slang which his party have been u.s.
ing for the last 90 years. 1t is too
late to float that renowned under
garment; sensible people are tired
listening to it, and the disgusting
remarks of our puny governor.
l.. d. Brown will run ahead of his
ticket in Bethel. 1t is the man we
should support and not his politics
for such an office as School Comm
issioner. Brown is a neighbor boy
to the teachers Of this County, and
acquainted with many of the older
teachers of the Western part of the
County, and they know his fitness
for the position. / would make no
appeal to the sectional pride of our
voters, but to their intellect, and if
Brown" was Republican would ut
ter the same sentiments, that it is
the duty of all who have our schools
at heart to support the man best
qualified for the position, the uni
versal verdict of there having
knowledge of the two candidates
would be in favor OF Brown.
Our merchants are making no
complaints in regard to trade, it is
daily increasing, the town is putting
on better appearance, property ris-
ing in value and the long looked for
good times is surely at hand.
Phil. Handschumacher has treated
his property to general repairs and
a new coat of paint, which makes
decided improvement of it.
Mrs. Dixon of Bloomfield, and
Miss Kate Thompson are visiting at
Alex. DiXons.
School commences Monday with
Prof. Miller of Noble Co., as princi-
pal and Miss Jennie Wilson of Stat
ford assistant.
Kate of the Gazette has returned
from visiting cousins in Noble Co.
Our girls are made happy by the
large assortment Of hats brought on
by Mrs. Rachel Handschumacher.

OFFICE OF STATE COMMISSIONER OFF
COMMON SCHOOLS,
COLUMBUS, ONO, Oct. 20, 1886.
To the Editors of The Spirit of Democracy:
Sundry complaints concerning the
misappropriation of school funds in
Monroe County have recently been
made to me in letters without the
affidavits specified in Section 1854 of
the Revised Statutes OF Ohio. For
the general information of those to
whom the law is not accessible, 1
beg to say that under the Statutes
the State Commissioner of Common
Schools has no authority as an Off
Ger, to investigate parties complain
ed of unless the complaint is filed in
compliance with the law, and in the
manner prescribed in the section of
the Statutes above named. l have
within the last three years when
complaint had been made in legal
form, appointed an accountant to in
vcstigate the charges, and to report
the result ''to the Court of Common
Pleas having jurisdiction. I be-
lieve that all such Investigations
have resulted in good to the public,
and l shall be glad at any time to
cooperate to the extent of my legal
authority with any citizen or citi-
zens of the State in the endeavor to
secure the honest disbursements of
School funds. In conclusion, per-
nit me to add that in my opinion a
better knowledge of the school law
among retired officers would secure
a better administration of four school
system.
l am very respectfully,
LEROY D. Brown,
State Com. of Common Schools.
