Edgar NJ. Davisson, one of
Clarksburg's Oldest citizens. died
last Friday. He was near eighty
and was born in Clarksburg, and
lived here all his life, being the
oldest man who has spent his
whole life in this town. He has
been prominently before the
people ofcentral West Virginia
in various capacities for over
fifty years. For many years he
was deputy circuit clerk, and
later was a practicing attorney,
although the most OF his time
was occupied in attending TO the
management Of his property.
His death was a great surprise,
as few knew he was sick. He
was walking around town
Wednesday His father, Daniel
DAWSON. was oneof the Oldest
settlers in this section, and form
erly owned almost all the lard
on which Clark burg is situated.
Mr.. Davisson has been twice
married, his second wife still
SURVIVING him.

Onion Districts Board.

u
Mr. Editor :-Wenotice an arti-
Gle in the Clarksburg Meas last
week. censuring the Board of
Education of Union District for
reducing the teachers salaries.
While we sincerely regret the
passage of this act by our Board
las other Districts have not done
the same) yet we agree with this
honorable body that it is no more
than just. inview of the fact that
we are thoroughly acquainted
with the reason upon which this
act was based, that the teachers
should share with the farmer the
reduction of profit. We have
reason to know that this act was
not passed because the Board
thoughtthatthe teachers salaries
we're too high, or that they are
not in favor Of the free school
system, for we are intimately
acquainted with those gentlemen
and know them to be men of in.
tegrty and sound judgment, and
that they would not do anything
against the interest of the free
school system, unless prompted
by a motive to relieve the farmer
of some Of the oppression of the
times. We believe that those
gentlemen did what they believed
to be for the best, for the people
of this District. But we do not
agree with the party who wrote
the article to the Netps last week
that the judgment of Mr.. Hall is
limited to knowing a good sheep
or steer. This gentleman surely
knows nothing of Mr.. Halls
ability otherwise, or he certainly
would not have made this uncom.
