THAT FAIRY TALE.

With nothing coming in and
every thing going out at Grafton it
is but little wonder so much fuss is
being made over the alleged state
ment that business that pays but
500 or $T5 a year is to be moved
from Clarksburg to Grafton.
Because Fred Martin, of Fair
mont, moved to Grafton, it was
imagined that that would mean
much in the matter of the business
of the federal court. Martin was
United States commissioner at FAR
mont several years. He was so busy
at other matters that he had but few
cases before him and paid so little
attention to the business that he did
not report more than half a dozen
fees all told. Some unacquainted
with these facts imagined it would
make a great change, when he To-
Gated in Grafton, and that big lot
of business would be taken away
from Clarksburg.
So pleased were they with the idea
q bio sensation out of it, but the only
a big sensation about it, but the only
sensational feature in it is that a
business so small should be the cause
of 50 much excitement. And to
color the matter little they stated
that Judge Dayton had promised to
hold federal court in Grafton, pro-
vided the court house was fixed up;
thus showing their ignoranc. and
imposing on the crcdulity of the
public. Wonder if they really do
not know that the congress of tho
United States fixes the places wher,
federal court shall be held, and no.

nothing is coming in at that place
and everything going out.

Report Of Director Of Visiting
Committees Selected BY
Sunday Schools.

ser, and the Washington County Sun
day -school Association:
Dear Friends 1 take great pleas
ure in reporting the history and re-
suit of the house to house visitation
lately made under your patronage.
First let me say that all the visitors
are entitled to great praise for the
promptness, intelligence and fidelity
with which they performed their task.
On the day when the canvass was
made the weather was unfavorable,
but the visitors went forth bravely to
their work and it was nearly COM
pleted within the time set for it, that
is within two afternoons.
The preliminary work proceeded as
follows. On March 9th a meeting of
pastors and superintendent of Sun
day schools was held, at which the
work was outlined, director elected,
and all agreed that on the following
Sunday each church or Sunday school
would nominate from two to five visi-
tors each. A committee of three was
appointed Of which the director was
chairman, to arrange the districts,
appoint and classify the visitors, and
prepare the necessary instructions and
material for the work. On March
10Th a meeting of visitors, pastors and
superintendent was held, at which
full instructions we're given, the
questions of visitors answered, and
each visitor furnished with report
blanks, and also supply of cards
upon which was printed an appropri-
ate passage of scripture. The visitors
went two by two, and each left card
at each place visited. This meeting
closed with prayer for Gods blessing
upon the work. 1t was felt that the
visitation was the greeting extended
by the churches to the general church
membership in the spirit of fraternal
unity, and to those in our midst who
have no church connection, a kindly
invitation to become connected with
congregation of their preference.
The districts and visitors we're as fol
lows:
First-All that part of the city
east of 18th ST. E. and extending
across the Weiser river as far as the
Hubbard ranch. Mrs. w. E. Boards
ley and Miss Jessie Gray.

The report slips have been divided
according to church membership and
preference and placed with the several
pastors respectively. A list of the
families and individuals having no
preference has been given each pastor.
Grateful acknowledgements are due
to Miss Edith Taylor for her expert
stenographic and type writing work
in tabulating the returns. Also to
Mr.. D. A. Utter for map of city of

The report blanks we're furnished
by the State Sunday Associa-
tion through Mr.. James Cathsart,
Supt. of house to house visitation for
the state.
In conclusion l desire to call atten-
tion to the fact that the visitors found
the work very interesting and enjoy
able, and the information asked for
courteously given. Testimony is al
ready coming in from church workers
and pastors to the uplift given to the
religious work by this kindly vista
tion.

There are conversational buffers
who are sometimes reduced to such
straits that they make a pretence of
being entertaining on the good things
they have forgotten. Simon Ford tells
of one who, at a dinner, said to his
neighbor:
did 1 ever tell you of a famous
good thing once said to Mark Twain? ?
Well, he was alluding to my former
occupation as an oculist, in which he
said it was no wonder 1 had fallen,
since a man must be blind indeed be-
fore he would apply to me. Well, of
course, that was very good, but
hoored him completely with my reply
1 can't reeollect just now what it was,
but you can depend upon it that il
was capital and made great laugh
at the time"
