The Quest is the name Of the
new Prohibition paper Of west
Virginia. 1t is published in
Wheeling. It's typographical
work is neatly executed, and it is
ably edited by F. A. Taylor. 1t It

wish it much success, not only
financially, but in the building up
of temperance and morality.
So far in the Congressional race
in this district Gov. Wilson has
Fayette and one third of Monroe
instructed for him, and Anderson
has Nicholas and two thirds Of
Monroe instructed for him. Logan
will speak on Saturday and we
hope a good delegation, without
instructions, will be sent to the
Congressional Convention. We
can't afford to have any division.
The Assessor having failed to
certify the amount of personal
property in Logan District, and
the County Superintendent hay-
ing failed to certify the amount
| Of the State School fund, the

pointed at that meeting.
Miss Florence Peck, arrived
home on the evening of the 9th
ult. after two years sojourn in
Richmond where she has been at
tending school. She was accom-
panied by her Aunt, Mrs J.. A.
Mosby Jr., with three children
and also by her cousin Miss Corine
Wills, of New Glasgow, Va, who
will spend the summer among the
hills of West Virginia. We hope
that each of them may enjoy the
tinyigorating influences Of our
mountain air, and find only pleas
ure among their friends and rela-
tiyes in Logan.
The Wayne News reports Mr..
G. H. Miller as saying that the
rights ofway in Logan County for
the w. Va. & l. Railroad, were
assessed excessively high, and
that the rates was $1,000 per acre
where no houses were taken. This
isa glaring misrepresentation of
the facts. The Commissioners
were as good men as could be
found in the State, and their as-
sessment was not excessive in any
case. In every instance where
as much as 800 per acre was Civ
en- the dwelling houses were rem
dered useless. No fair Jury of
Logan County men will cut one
cent from the finding of the Com
missioners.
