For Commitments Justices Instructed
Regarding Reform School.


Owing to understandings re-
garding the methods OF making COM
mitments to the West Virginia Re-
form School at Pruntytown, Super
intendent O. e. Darnall has issued
instructions az follows: when boys
are committed by Justices OF the
Peace to the West Virginia Reform
School the Justice of the Peace should
send the commitment papers to the
superintendent of this institution.
The superintendent will then submit
them 20 the Board Of Directors who
will approve or reject them. In case
OF approval the superintendent will
notify such Justice OF the Peace IL
there Is room for such boy. In no
case will boy be received as bona
tide inmate unless such Justice OF the
Peace has had such notice from the
superintendent. Too many boys are
sentenced here as being under is
years Of age, when In reality they are
much older. Justices---in fact all
courts committing boys TO this In
stitution should watch this carefully
and not let the age be misrepresented.
The school is for boys, not men.

Are the Summer Resorts on Cheat
River This Season.
Attorney Harry Kunst, of Grafton,
was in town yesterday enroute to his
home after weeks vacation at the
resorts along Cheat river In regard
to that locality, he said that the re-
sorts over there while not as largely
attended as heretofore, are still grow
ing in the favor of those who seek the
romantic side of nature. Hotel Mont
Chautau, and the other smaller houses
are dong fairly good business, which
looks like it will continue till late in
the fall. Cheat river he SAID is par
radise for artists, especially from Pitts
burg, and some very fine paintings
have been made of the scenery over
there. -Fairmont Times.
