struction he would frequently get
in it to see fit would fit him per-
tectly.
Ate. it was finished to his salts,
faction it was taken home and
placed in the garnet, where it re-
NAMED until the time of his death.
When TIE grim messenger claimed,
his victim, the coffin, which lay
waiting for more than a score of
years, was brought down from
alott, the dust was removed from
the lid, and the remains OF the VEN
cradle old man were deposited in it.
He was laid to rest in the coffin
purchased by himself, in the old
family graveyard near his home.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Adjourned This Afternoon-ln-
teresting Session
Last NiSht-SpIendid Speeches by AZ
torney Gregory, PrOfs. COrbiy, Barbe
and Others-A Successful Institute.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

Although the rain fell in tor
rents, the teachers assembled
promptly, and the presence OF
State Superintendent Trotter, Prof.
Corbly, president of the Hunting
don Normal, and Prof. Waitmen
Barbe, of the University at Nor
gantown, lent additional interest
to this session.
State Superintendent Trotter adj
dressed the teachers in a forcible
speech, urging them on to higher
aims in the profession of teaching.
The teacher of today must be
awake-to not be so, is to fail. The
speaker dwelt particularly upon the
school law, as regards the attend
ance of every teacher at county in
stitute.
If a teacher wants to teach this
year he must not expect some tri-
vial excuse to be acceptable to his
county superintendent. Only a
very good reason for not having at
tended institute should be consid,
cred at all.
Prof. Barbe talked entertainingly
while to the institute, citing in
stances of the influence of the good
teacher. He related numerous,
striking examples and cheered and
encouraged the teacher who had
been faithful and whose aim and
desire is to ever be so.
Prof. Corbly was introduced and
referred to the time when he was
Tyler county teacher. Everyone
was proud and glad to welcome
"home again" this eminent educa
tor, vino after graduating from oul
State University, pursued his
studies in Germany.
Prof. Corbly is one of the wei
come visitors at institute and is ex-
pected to speak tonight.

The closing session was brief,
busy ard interesting.

"What Shall the Teachers Read?'
The chief aim of the teacher is the

and help him to be good citizen
as we'll as a scholar.
Mr.. Van Camp and Mr.. Grimes
advanced some good ideas along the
same line.

didates for county superintendent,

A NOVEL SUIT.
A novel suit between two we'll
known Sistersvillians will be de.
cided duling this term Of the cir
cult court. The case is certainly
without a precedent. The history
of the case in brief is about as fol-
lows: During the early Elk Fork
excitement these parties left town
for the scene Of the excitement
with the implied purpose Of leas'
ing any available territory nearby
that they might be able to pick up.
After arriving on the scene and
taking in the situation it
was agreed that one should
make an effort to secure certain
lease while the other was to secure
another tract which at that time
looked gilt edged. Both tracts
were secured. After their return
home one refused to share with the
other. He demanded an interest
in the lease and when refused, he
at once instituted suit against the
other party.
The case has been postponed
from time to time until everything
is in readiness for a decision by
Judge Freer.
The dispositions in the case have
all been taken.
Judge Jacobs, of New Martins
vile, will appear for the plaintiff
aud P. A. Shanor, Of Sistersville,
will represent the defendent.
From Saturdays Daily.
The northeast extension of the
Elk Fork pool is the leading attrac-
ton OF the southwest at the present
time. A great deal of new work is
being started and it is now highly
probable that the operator will
reach out for the limit of the extern
sions. It's terminal is not known.
The farthest wells northeast have
been among the best producers

Yoke & Co. have their rig for No.
