Important Decision by the SUE

AI4pOEBang OoCl6AOA DJ ghO SOO-
preme Court Relating to the
Jurisdiction of Justices.
wheeling, w. VA. Nov. 19.-
Through decision handed down
by the Supreme Court of the State
Saturday, in the case of johnson
SC al. vs.. Hunter ct al, from Ohio
county, Justices of the Peace are
prohibited from trying cases in
3istriots outside of the ones in
Rhich they are elected thus render
ng yalueless thousands of iudg-
nents decided upon them, and
completely revolutionizing the low
- judiciary in West Virginia
This test case arose in the JUS
ices Court in Ohio county and
he property in question consisted
ofsan antiquated organ and ring :
boped, spawned horse. The plain
ie, In, order to secure what they
idered justice, entered the case
Ssiote Squire in another district.
Ii was taken from one Court to
another, and finally landed at the
tribunal of last resort in the state,
when the point above mentioned
was raised and decided contrary to
the hopes and desires of the hordes
of hungry Justices in the state.
In the meantime, the organ was
burned in fire and the horse died
while in the Constable's hands, so
there was nothing left to fight for
but the principle.
Here in Ohio county clone the
sweeping decision alone will inval-
idate over 5000 cases, involving
many thousands of dollars. 1t
means a death-blow to pettifog-
ging, for hereafter every Justioe of
the Peace will be compelled to re-
main within his own bailiwiok.

west Virginia.

The following was written by Mrs
M. b. Hall, of Philippi 1T is worth
preserving In your scrap book;
West Virginia land of splendor,
Home of people brisk and free
AS its pretty ripping rivers,
That roll onward to the sea.
Land OF water's rarest wonders,
Sun kissed skies and balmy air,
Yerdant wales and boundless forests
Grandeur, grandeur, everywhere.
'Tis the land of golden PROMISE,
With It's mountains stern and tall,
With it's stores of boundless riches
That repose beneath its soil,
"Mountaineers are always freemen,"
Honest, ever loyal all,
And from out their sturdy natures,
CLEANS their pride of native soil.
Think ye of the barren deserts
Spotless verdant homes less free
Be ye ever thankful, grateful,
For this land of liberty.

Answer tle Question.

Point Pleasant is over one hun
dred years old, and yet no fellow
has been able to answer one ques-
ton that concerns our people.
That is, no one has been able to
explain in all these years past and
gone, why the people of the south
side of the Great Kanawhs river
have been content to travel over
bad and hilly roads, and pay heavy
and exorbitant ferry tolls to GROSS
a big river in order to get to their
county seat, when they could have
forced the county to build bridge
across the Kanawha at this place,
The bonds could have been voted
for years ago, good free bridge
built, would have been paid for,
and the bonds liquidated years ago
without the people feeling it in the
way of taxation. 1t is not too late
now to agitate the building of a
free wagon bridge across the Kama
wha at this place, Who will move
in the matter?

The war between Spain and the
United States was mild affair 80
far as wars go, but the cost in lives
to Spain was considerable. Alto.
gether the Spanish loss amounted
to 54,569. The killed in action
numbered 1856, and another L.
891 died from wounds. Yellow
fever caused 2O,629 deaths, and a
further 30, ,120 died from other ill
nesses and hunger. These figures
are another illustration of the fact
that the number killed in battle is
only small proportion ofthe loss

Robber!

Z
TIT is not a robbery of the peo-
pie, who are so unfortunate as to
have their lands returned and sold
for taxes, to pay the State Gazette
some 45 or so cents more for pub
lication fee on each tract or lot of
land, than the Observer, another
Republican paper, offered the Sher-
iff it would publish it for, we would
like to know the name to call suoh
a transaction by. Every man who
redeems his lands, and every
purchaser of the lands sold, should
pay this additional charge over and
above 25 cents tract, under pro-
test, and then sue the Sheriff and
recover the excess back. 1t is a
robbery of the people to keep up
and support "the orgon' at the be-
hest and command of the boss.
How much longer will the people
of this county tolerate this feecing
that the Golfers of the Gazette may
be filled to overhowing2
