The Acknowledgement of the State
has given his opinion relative to the law
enacted by the last legislature provid-
ing for an increase in the salaries Of
County Superintendent, which opinion
is that said law does not become opera
tive during the term of the present in
cumb ents, either as to compensation or
increased duties. This decision is based
upon clause in Section IS, Article q,
of the Constitution which reads as fol-
lows Nor shall the salary OF any pub
lie officer be increased or diminished
during his term Of office"
To comply with the requests made by
the teachers Of the county, State Super
intendent ThoS. c. Miller has arranged
for an early Teachers Institute for JEFF
ferson county this year, which will con-
veDe in the courthouse at Charles Town
on Tuesday, June 18th. al 9 clock, and
continue five consecutive days. y new
feature Of the Institute for this year is
TO be, The Round Table, in which
teachers are 10 discuss topics OF general
interest. The new law requires that
members OF the Boards OF Education
shall attend the Institute one day and
they are compensated for it. Ii is the
duty and should be the pleasure OF ev-
cry teacher in Jefferson county 10 at

A Delightful Affair.

One of the most enjoyable social
events that Shepherdstown folks have
participated in for many day was
the reception given last Friday even
ing at the Virginia House by Miss
Nellie Lane Butler in honor Of her
aunt, Mrs. E. c. Carter, Of New York.
There was full response to the invita-
tons that had been issued, and the
guests were received by the charming
young hostess and Mrs. G. T. Butler,
Miss Katie Lucas and Miss Lalla Rey-
nolds-a group Of our prettiest and
cleverest girls-who presented them
to Mrs. Carter. An hour or two was
spent most delightfully."-. The ladies
looked their sweetest in their becom-
ing gowns, and were an inspiration to
the gentlemen to be most gallant. Re-
freshments of the daintiest and most
delicious character were served by
fair hands, and nothing for the pleas
ure of the guests was left undone by
the accomplished hostess. All who
were present were agreed that the af-
fair was particularly happy event in
social life that was thoroughly appre-
ciated and enjoyed by those who were
privileged to accept Miss Buffers
graceful hospitality. Mrs. Carter is
here for a month s stay, and her bright
ness and friendliness has already gained
for her a circle of friends who would
be very glad to have her visit pro-
longed indefinitely.
