rhe animation of spring time is
again upon us-the lively notes OF
the birds and frogs interpreted now
and then with the plaintive yell
Of plow>bov. Our farmers know
full we'll the value of taking time by
the fOre--lock and are very busy
blowing and seeding their lands for
The coming crop. Wheat and oats
don't promise much. The high
price of seed does not seem to
diminish the loyalty of our farmers
to King Cotton. We fear 1t will
be- many a long day until they
throw off the yoke of that old despot
and substitute for him the liberal
Trlumvirate of "peas. hog and
homIny." Then, and not until
then, will prosperity smile on us
aud plenty share corner in every
househ old.
Our roads are In fair fix, which
we think speaks well for our COM
munity and the efficiency of our
overseers. We fully realize the
value and necessity of good high
ways. The bridge across Short
creek between New Hope and Sandy
is still unfinished. That ford is al
ways dangerous in wet weather and
it should be finished by all means
before the spring rains set in.
Our school was never in better
condition. New desks and other
fixtures have been added this year.
Under the efficient management OF
Miss Matte Neal of Lebanon. il
promises great results. About forty
pupils are in attendance. The
Sunday school is doing its share OF
good, too, and always has large
attendance. The new organ. with
Miss Allie Clinton as Organist. adds
much to the musical attra cuon.
Miss Mary Franklin has returned
after a three weeks visit in North
Mississippi.

Wnitevllle Institute visited home

Two gallant young Knights co.

lieve that either of them are sin it, !"

The County Court and the Poor.

The Shepherdstown REGISTER Of
last week contained an unfair strict
ure upon the county court for its re
cent order, that hereafter no
aid is to be extended TO outside
poor The court is simply an eXecu-
tor Of the laws and not maker, and
it has to be governed by the Code of
West Virginia in dealing with such
questions. Chapter NLNI, Sec. :, Of
the Code provides:
ANY person to be provided for or assisted,
may either be kept AT the place Of genera re-
ception, or be supported or assisted elsewhere,
but in q county where there is county in
Urinary, he shall not be kept, at the expense
OF the county at any place other than the
intirmary, except in case Of emergency or
necessity, and then only so long as the emer-
gency or necessity may require
This imperatively removes the mat
ter from the discretion Of the court
since it is mandatory inits provisions.
Heretofore, for want Of room for the
proper accommodation of the indi-
gent, the court has extended outside
aid, but recently the facilities Of the
infirmary for the accommodation OF
the poor has been increased by the
erection of additional buildings, at
cost Of some three thousand dollars
or more, and hence there is no furth-
er need for their past discretion since
the emergency does not exist Chdrles-
tOUn Adrocate.
We do not contend that the court
should keep poor persons at any place
other than the county infrmary.
But where it can by assisting worthy
persons save the expense Of keeping
them at the poor-house we think it
in the line Of economy and common
sense to do so. 1t il better for the
taxpayers and better for the persons
aided to make au expenditure Of from
SO to $50 a year that will save them
from being sent to the alms-house,
rather than to force them there, where
$50 at least is required for their sup
port. 1t would not require a too lib
eral construction of the law referred
to to find authority to extend aid to
the outside poor, and it need not be
stretched any further than it has been
stretched IN the past

sion Of their rights of citizenship.
