cratic primaries held in jefferson

This is understood, however, when it

that county is equivalent to an cleo
tio3, and that the candid ties bend
every effort to ge. ont the vote at the
primaries, knowing that the real
work is done OF that time. The vote
on Saturday was as follows:
For Judgd OF Circuit Court Greer

Tuesday was gala time witA the
students of Shepherd college at Shep-
berdstown, and FOR few hours the
town was the scene of much merri-
ment. The time was in honor of the
representative of the college, Miss
Snyder, receiving second prize in the
state oratorical contest which was held
on Saturday. The representative from
Marshall Norman school took the first
prize.
Miss Snyder and Prof Knutti ar
rived night and they were
met by the band and most all of the
students, who gave them a rousing
reception. The band followed by the
cadets paraded through the streets for
several hours, and it was not un'il a

the students to hold a celebration OF
this nature after the contest is over,
and il is much more elaborate when
they get first prize or near it.
