which two husbands and their wives
and a baby become almost inextric-

THE MERITS OF THE COUNTRY
ScHooL.-There is more reading
done in our farm neighborhoods
than in our cities; and the good
typical farm home has its newspa
pers always and its magazines quite
frequently. Nor are the district
schools so Inferior, though their
quality varies much from year to
year. With good teacher in
charge, the country district school
is better than the city graded school,
because it is more free from mere
machinery and better adapted to
develop the individuality of pupils.
Hundreds of men and women of
high standing and wide experience
to-day are thankful for the little
wooden country school house OF
their childhood days, in which the
educational methods pursued were
infinitely more scientific and valu-
able than those now followed in
many of our city schools.

One of the nobbiest parties of the
season was given by Charlie Lewis
at the Elk Club Rooms on last
Wednesday evening, in honor of
Miss Bessie Sehon and Miss Maud
Mitchell, of Huntington. About
thirty couples assembled on this
occasion and spent one of the most
pleasant evenings ever spent in
social circles. All expenses were
betrayed by Mr.. Lewis and there
was nothing left undone that would
have contributed to the enjoyment
of the occasion. The music was
excellent and the refreshments all
one could desire. Kind looks and
thoughts were all that were seen or
known when the merry party dis
persed.

The Shepherdstown Register says
that there will not be one fourth of
an average corn crop in Berkeley
and Jefferson counties and that
farmers are cutting the corn to save
it for fodder. 1t is not that way
out here in Mason county. The
prospect is. that the farmers will
harvest the largest corn crop ever
gathered in the county.
