four miles northwest Of Shepherds
town by which their son Charles lost
his life. The little boy, who was about
three years old, in Some way managed
to reach cat rifle that was hanging
on the porch, and it is thought he

trated his brain, causing his death in

The harvesting of the wheat crop
has already begun in parts of the
county. The general opinion, among
our farmers, is that the yield will be,
at least, as large as the average. There
has been an amazing improvement in
the condition of the wheat within the
past two months. The crop had gone
into the winter in a sorry condition,
and the winter weather itself was far
from being favorable. The prospect
tor large hay crop is most hattering
Timothy and clover are of luxuriant
growth this year and nearly every
farmer has enough for his own con-
sumption, while a large majority will
have surplus to sell Advocate.
AT meeting of the Board of Re-
gents of the State Normal Schools in

Shepherd College IS the same as last
year except that Miss Pendleton, the
music teacher was not reappointed-
her place will be filed later. The
corps of teachers is as follows at our
school, Principal J. G. Kuutti, assist
ant to principal, John D. Muldoon,
teachers, Mrs. Mabel Henshaw-Gar-
diner, Miss Annie B. Woolery, Miss
Elizabeth NJ Stalnaker, Miss Blanche
Corbin, John B. Triplett, elocution
teacher, Miss Alma d. Stier. Our PEG
pie generally will be glad to know
that the present excellent faculty of
Shepherd College is to be retained. 1t
is one of the strongest in the State,
and the work of Shepherd College is
outclassed by no other normal school
in West Virginia. Register
