OUR county commissioners have
made a change in the method Of pub
fishing the financial statement of JEFF
ferson county. Instead of giving the
itemized expenditures, as is done in
every other county in the State, and
in every State in the Union, almost,
they print brief summary of the re-
ceipts and expenditures. This is I'M
questionably violation of the spirit
of the law, if not of the letter. The
commissioners, so far as giving the peo-
pie information, might just as well
have published nothing at all. The
reason given is that it cost too much
to have the whole thing printed. The
law fixes the price, and the commits
sioners are not responsible for it. No
exorbitant rate has been charged fy
the newspapers. On the contrary, for
what was very close to the legal price
to have it printed in one paper Che
statement has heretofore been printed
in all the papers of the county, and
every man in the county could have
the satisfaction Of seeing how the pub
lie money was spent. We don't be,
heve any taxpayer would object tc
paying the small sum it would cost
him to have the proper itemized pub
LEGATION. The commissioners, of course
= should economic, but penuriousness il
not always economy. We confess thai
we are not disappointed, One of thu

by its value as wrapping paper-nc

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Charlestown SPIRIT, expresses consid-
cradle Indignation at the action Of in
dividuals and companies in that place
for sending their printing away to the
cities. The SPIRIT is entirely right,
and very truthfuAy says the local pa
per that is called upon for free notices
week in and week out ought to have
the patronage of the home people.
We have heard of some of our public
officials who have been sending out of
the county for printing that they could
have done as well and as cheaply at
home. They have been the recipients
of favors from the local newspaper.
year after year, and then when they
have a little printing they send it
away to save dollar or two. So far
as we are concerned, we are one of
the worms who proposes to turn, and
these gentlemen may hereafter send
for their influence and help to the
cities where they have their printing
done. We will lookout for number
one, too.

YESTERDAY the Charlestown Free
Press entered upon its 87th volume.
We are glad to have this opportunity
to give our opinion of what we regard
as a model family journal and country
newspaper. The Free Pres, is clean,
decent, dignifed paper, whose editor
has a proper conception Of the respon-
sibilities of journalist. There is no
paper in the State, in our opinion,
that can, week in and week out, be
read with more pleasure and profit,
and its editorial page is an aggrega-
ton Of keen wit and delicate satire
that deserves a national circulation.
1t is happy coincidence that enables
us this week to give an honored place
in our sanctum to a life-like photo
graph of our friend, Mr.. W. w. B.
Gallaher, the venerable publisher Of
the Free Press. AS together they
grow older, may their field of useful
ness extend-may the paper prosper
and its maker receive the reward Of
his lifelong labors.

THE Charlestown Free Press makes
some sensible remarks about the way
the money for the West Virginia
University is spent. The regents spend
thousands upon all sorts Of improve
ments, but not a red cent is appropri-
ated to pay for advertising in the news
papers, which are called upon to do
all this sort of work for nothing. With
money to burn for every other purpose,
the University ought not to sponge en-
tirely for its advertising.

of all the interesting features of which
we had heard, the half had not been
told. For five or six miles two great
mountains run side by side, with the
river flowing between. Their steep
sides form the shore line, and right
down to the waters edge grows the
forest. The mountains are sheer and
steep, and at their base, where the
river flows, are not more than three or
four hundred feet apart. There are
few bends in either mountains or river,
and the view up or down the stream
is superbly beautiful and inspiring at
many places. The river ripples over
the shadows and again lays in deep,
dark pools. Rifles and eddies follow
one another, and here and there the
waters sweep around great boulders
that obstruct the bed. In some places
it becomes so shallow that the empty
skif will scarcely float, but elsewhere
the water will be twenty feet in depth,
The South Branch is an ideal stream
for bass. There is not a mill or fac
tory upon it to pollute its waters.
It's rocky bottom, sometimes of solid
strata and again of gravel or water
worn boulders, is just what they want,
and they abide there in great num-
bers. Editor Boyer was so busy hook
ing fish that he never snagged him
