law on our Statute book epacted by
the last legislature and approved
by the Governor, on May 9TH, last,
making it misdemeanor to sell Gig

case is fine not exceeding $780,
Dealers should take. notice and gov
ern themselves accordingly. A more
sensible law was never enacted, and
the man who would wilfulIy injure
the health and impair the physical de-
velopment of our boys for the few
pennies profit made from these sales,
should be punished to the full extent
of the law.

Court of appeals of West Virginia.
died at Chariestown on Wednesday
of this week. Judge Green was one
OF West Virginia's ablest jurists, in

term of twelve years. His opinions
were highly valued by the legal pro-

caused by his death will not soon be
