EVERYBODY endorses the statement
OF the Preston Republican that J..
Slidell Brown, compound of wit, wis
dom and brotherly love, was reelected
to the presidency of the West Vir-
ginia Editorial Association because
she is too good an officer to exchange
for new one.
The war excitement was God
send to the cadets in one particular.
1t prevented the annual visit of the
Inspector General. This is usually
a very taxing event and the boys are
not sorry they had to forego the
visit.
Few changes in the appearance of
the buildings and grounds have
taken place since last year but the
building Of the wing ON the Univer-
sity Hail This will be done and
will be ready for occupancy by the
LIST of January.
AMONG the many pleasant things
for old students is an interview with
Doc Dancer, the custodian of the
gym. None of the old students who
come in fail to avail themselves of
this chance and the old janitor is
talking old times and old associa-
tions.
The cadets have had much prac-
teal experience this term. Some
days they have drilled for two hours
and made forced marches out into
the country for three and four miles
which they enjoyed very much. Life
at the University is not complete
without having had the experience
of strot".
FARMoNT is arranging the biggest
lourth OF july celebration that has
ever been held in that village and
one of the features Of the parade will
be division of bicycle riders. All
who can possibly be there should
send their names to G. r. Brown
field who will send them all the in
formation about the event. 1t will
be great Everybody from here will
go up to see the show.
A cANVAssER is at work through
the county to see how many people
want the new county map which is
now being prepared by Profs. Willis
and Morris of the University.
This map will show every bend of
every road in the county, every resi-
dence and every oil and gas well pro-
dueing and dry, and every topograph-
ical feature Of the entire county. 1t
will be invaluable to every citizen of
the county.

In Memory OF Alfred c. Barker.

Alfred Carpenter Barker was born
May Is, 1911, and died May 20, 1898,
aged 81 years and days.
He had been in feeble health for over
year, but was able to 90 about and
even visit near neighbors up to March.
In March, 1898, he was stricken with
yellow jaundice, which combined with
old age was more than his constitution
could bear. When first taken with the
attack that finally proved fatal his phys
ician said IL was only few days until
all would be over. Yet he resisted the
grim destroyer for fully two months.
His was case without n parallel
known to medical science, 80 said his
physicians, Over year previous to bis
death he made full surrender to the
Lord and was wonderfully blessed. He
often expressed himself as ready and
willing to 90 when the summons came.
He hoped that death might be easy
10 him and 1t was so. He passed over
the river into the great beyond without
a single struggle ; slight movement OF
the hand and all was over.
He is the last one OF his generation,
having come from family who were
among the first settlers of Monongalia
county. He was born upon the same
farm about one-fourth mile from where
he died.
Mr.. Barker was good neighbor and
an exemplary citizen. He was man
not given to resentment but bore I'M
kind and unjust treatment as a true
Christian man should. At one time he
wrote in the clerks Office under Thomas
p. Ray, acquiring penmanship which
he exercised during his after life that
was very neat and plain. more like print
than the work OF pen. The writer has
card written by him in '96 which is
wonderful for man OF his age.
His remains were laid TO rest in the
Barker cemetery on the 9th, followed
by an unusually large concourse Of rea.
tives, neighbors and friends. Rev.
Henry Morgan officiated.
He leaves five daughters, two OF whom
live in southern Missouri; three sons
and many grand children and great
grandchildren.
Dear father, thou art forever at rest,
and o, may thy children see the same
light thou hast seen and finally enjoy
that same peaceful rest.

Wednesday uight from to IL
o'clock Judge and Mrs. Okey John
son received the members OF the law

large and the lawyers enjoyed the

Cramer Reinstated.

G. w. Cramer who was dismissed
from the volunteer army some time
ago, has been reinstated and will be
the first lieutenant Of company at
Piedmont. We are very glad to hear
OF this and the more so as it shows
that the actions for which he was
dismissed were not as bad as they
were at first represented. He will leave
for the front as soon as the governor
calls on the regiment now being
raised.

Judge Johnson Entertains the Law
Glass.

The law class is always fortunate
enough to have, at least one evening
at the Judges pleasant home at tn,
close OF the years work. The
Judges popularity is always in evil
dence on these occasions. The an
nual reception was given on Wednes-
day, May to the Junior and Senior
Law classes from s to II o'clock. The
fair sex were present to lend enchant-
ment. Splendid refreshments were
served during the evening. The
hospitality of the Judge and family
can not be excelled anywhere. All

most delightful time and felt loath
to leave at the appointed hour.

position at Omaha. This exposition is
expected to eclipse everything of the
kind that has been held and only be
second to that held in Chicago to com
memorate the four hundredth ami
yersary Of the discovery of this coun-

Extending the Strawberry Season.
How to extend the strawberry fruit
ing season is a matter worthy of the at
tention that growers seem to be devot-
ing to It. It Is known that early varie-
ties in a favorable soil, with southern
exposure, from which the mulch Is re-
moved in the spring as soon as it is safe
to do so and which receive early cult.
vation will have their fruiting season
hastened. A correspondent Of Orange
Judd Farmer suggests that for late
fruiting the opposite process may be
more successfully employed with one Of
the latest varieties The late ones should
be given northern exposure and left
untouched in the winter until the
ground is deeply frozen, and then
mulohed lightly with straw or coarse
manure After this mulch has settled
and is covered with snow or ice, spread
on a thick layer of straw. The thicker
this second covering is the better. Both
of the layers should be left on the late
Strawberries until the earlier ones are
in blossom, when it should be removed

Preventing Rabbits Gnawine Trees.

Preventing Rabbits GnRwin@ Trees.
The best wash we have tried during
the past 30 years to prevent damage
from rabbits is fresh lime solution
with enough flowers of sulphur to color
it yellow. To q pailful of the wash we
add tablespoonful of carbolic acid. If
a dashing rain follow the application in
fall, wash again. For mice. the best
protection is q small mound of earth
around the stem. have never known
field mice to mount this little mound
to girdle the tree, says Professor Budd
Of Iowa in The Rural New Yorker.
Another correspondent Of the same jour
nal says he likes the plan Of wrapping
trees with common newspapers as pro-
lection against rabbits A good brisk
man will thus tie up 400 or 500 trees
day, and il the paper be put on care
fully it will last for two years Another
good plan is to eat the rabbits. By
Offering bounty for each rabbit shot
in the orchard or employing a good
hunter occasionally, il ono is not an ex.
pert with the gun, he can clean out
this pest SO that there will be few left
to do damage.

Delaware. The tree began to bear very
early, and II was remarkable sight to
see the large burs on go small a tree.
The first time ] saw ii was in 1898. II
was then bearing several burs and not
so high as my head. Mr.. Killen began
TO graft the scions in other trees and
found that they bore the next year after
being set. This pTeCOcity and abundant
fruitfulness seem to be typical Of the
variety, judging by all the young trees
and CRAFTS as well as by the old tree.
The nuts are very large There are
rarely less than three nuts to the bur-
and single nuts, when they do occur,
are even larger. In quality the Killen
chestnut is not equal to our native wild
chestnuts, nor are any Of the varieties
Of the foreign types, so far as have
tested them. But it is better than the
average Of either the European or Jap
anese kinds. In habit the tree is not so
robust as some of the japanese varieties,
but it is not feeble or so dwarflsh as
some Of them. 1t makes very satisfao-

Although an increasing interest is

up. He also says:

much Of it that is peculiarly adapted to
its culture. Sandstone, shale or sandy,

land does not seem to suit the wild
