Editorial Association.

The Editorial Association at
Webster Springs was one of the
best and most enthusiastic the
West Virginia editors have had
in years. The attendance was
good and the programme fully
carried out. The big-hearted,
hospitable citizens of that pushing
young city spared no pains or
money in their earnest endeavor
to make their guests enjoy them
selves and kindly remember their
Allegheny Mountain visit.
Webster Springs is reached by
the Holly River and Addison
Railroad. connecting with the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at
Holly junction. We want to say
right here that the trip of the
editors was made pleasant. in its
broadcast sense, by the officials of
of the B. & o. &. R.-Mr. Viii.
liam E. Loves, advertising mana
ger and editor of the Book of the
Royal Blue, and Mr.. o. W. Allen,
travelling passenger agent. Spe-
cial cars were placed at the disposal
of the newspaper people and they
were entertained in kingly style.
The kindly attention of these off,
cials will not soon be forgotten by
the press representatives. Mr.
George b Luckey, official photo
grapher Of the B. & o.. was pres
emit and made many views of the
enchanting scenery and the edi-
torial party. Mr.. A NJ. Martin,
of the Holly River and Addison
Railroad, will long be remembered
by the visiting editors for his CARE
full, thoughtful and earnest endea-
vor to make the guests of, not only
his road, but his section of country,
feel that they were and always
would be welcome guests.
Affsble, able, Mr.. John HILLARY,
of the Webster Republican, deser-
yes more than a passing notice for
his indefatigable efforts to make
the boys feel at home, and We trust
the kindly feelings in the breasts
of the visitors will repay him 100
per cent for his financial and phys
ioal outlay.
The Webster Springs Hotel is
indeed a fine hostelry. Large,
comfortable rooms. long, wide YER
andas. tables filled with every.
thing the CITY markets and noun
tains afford, kind and careful at
tendants, and all under the able
management of Mr.. James W
WooddelI. which is guarantee to
all who have the pleasure of his
acquaintance that everything will
be done right at the right time.
This place of entertainment has
been comfortably filled the entire
summer months with pleasure, as
well as health seekers, and We
heard no expression other than
that of genuine satisfaction.
One of the most important fea-
lures of this good town is it's min
eral springs. The waters are said
to be eficacious for diseases of the
liver, kidneys and stomach and
blood disorders. Many remarkable
cures have been attributed to the
use of this mineral water.

County Institute Committee
Hangs Up Cash Prizes For
Boys Corn Growing Contest
WILL GIVE ss7. SO IN PRIZES
The First Prize for tho Best Ter
Ears Grown by Boys Under 10 Years
of Age, Will Be s2o-Four Other
Prizes in This Class, and Six in
Contest for Bushel Lots.

The prizes, which this year are In
the best ten ears of corn from seed
furnished by the Farmers Institute,
have been arranged by the institute
committee, which was placed in charge
Of the corn growing contest at the last
annual institute last winter. This
committee, consisting Of Merritt
Greene, and w. H. Jones, of this city,
and j. L. Wiley, of Gilman. has ar
ranged for five cash prizes in the boys
contest, and six other cash prizes for
the best ,bushel lots of corn grown.
The SIX prizes are divided into two
classes and are open to any farmer of
the cointy.
The prizes in all Of the classes total
$3.50, $3.50 Of which is for the boys
contest, and $S5 allotted to the bushel
lot contests. The prizes for the boys
contest for lots Of ten ears of corn
grown from Reds Yellow Dent seed
are as follows: First prize, $40; Sec
ond prize, SIS; third prize. $40; fourth
prize. IS; fifth prize, $3.50.
The Aes for the best bushelt lois
Of corn grown from Reds Yellow Dent
are for the best bushel. $40; for the
second best, SIS, and for third. $3.50.
For the best bushel raised from any
other variety the first prize Is $40; the
second S.. and the third $3.50.
All of the corn entered in the three
contests becomes the property of the
county, as recompense for furnishing
the seed.
The Indications are that there will
not be so many boys enter samples of
corn at the institute this year as there
were last. as not nearly so many Sc
cured seed in the spring. The prizes
will be awarded when the institute
meets, the date for which has not as
yet been decided upon.

that have been traded in for other IN
struments. In many cases these up
rights have been exchanged for grand
pianos. Ordinarily such pianos are
sold In the condition received, but In
Lyon s. Healy's the little things one
does not like about a piano which
stamp it as several years old, are
changed in their own factories. SO
these pianos are brought right down
to date in tone, action and general
appearance. Every trace of use Is
removed from their cases, and alto
gether they are made substantially as
perfect as the day they left their
makers hands. These rebuilt pianos
give great satisfaction.
If you would like good piano at
about half price. write to Lyon q
JIealy for a list of instruments in this
class. They will be glad to go into
full particulars. and you may depend
upon every statement that they make.
Tell them about what kind OF an
instrument you had in view and about
how much you had in mind to pay.
Address them 10 Adams Street, Chi
