The West Virginia Conference
Seminary at Buckhannon in the
June Commencement exercises
recorded another term of progress.
Few if any educational institutions
of our Country have had such SIP
nal victories. A debt of over
$4,000 on the main building has
lately been provided, $4,000 of it
in cash.
Prof. B. w. Hutchinson, the
president from the opening session
has proven himself to be the man
for the position. He, aided by an
able faculty has not only been able
to send out hundreds of religious
young men and women to bless
our State, but he has worked Won
ders in finances.
He has been supported also by a
loyal and self sacrificing Board of
trustees, having for its president
Judge Samuel Woods, and treasurer
Hon. B. F. Martin. The latter's
resignation at the last meeting be-
cause of failing health sent pang
of sorrow to the heart Of every
member of the Board.
The Seminary loss was great by
the deaths Of Revs. Roger and
White, but they acted we'll their
part until called up higher. A
plan for dormitory by M. F. Giesy
was adopted and Building ap-
pointed.
Valuable additions to the
Faculty have been made. Send
to Prof. Hutchinson for Catalogue.
Our thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. G.
w. Carper for favors.

Through the kindness of DR.. T.
L. Barber. of Charleston, the Elk
City Sunday School enjoyed de-
lightful time celebrating the
Fourth in picnic style. The
several committees had all arrange.
ments completed on Tuesday, and
that their efforts were fully ap.
preciated was plainly shown by
the many cheers with which their
names were received by the
children just before leaving the
ground. Bro. Ginger addressed
the school and was listened to with
attention. A special and grand
cheer was given for Bro. Jones
horse for helping us so much.
