TIE decision of the West Virginia
Supreme Court in the Hurst case,
from this county, is one of great i'm
portancs. We know nothing Of the
legal principle involved, but from a
common sense and moral point Of
view the decision is one that is GER
tainly commendable. Mr.. Hurst
was sheriff of the county and being
highly regarded as man of Princi-
pie and business ability, had no diff
Guilty in borrowing money freely,
Unknown to the public, however. he
was in financial straits. and foreseeing
the inevitable crash he secretly deed
ed his real estate % his fsther-in.law,
the late Edward Tierney. These
deeds were not recorded, and in the
meantime Mr.. Hurst continued to
borrow money on his supposed good
credit, it being generally believed
that his real estate was ample as &C.
curity in case there should be any
difficulty. When he went into bank
ruptcy the deeds to his fatber-iD-law
were recorded, and his numerous
creditors seemed to be left out in the
cold. greatly to their astonishment.
Suit was brought in the Circuit
Court for Jefferson county to set aside
the deeds as fraudulent, but Judge
Faulkner held that they were good
and that the creditors had no re-
course. The case was appealed to
the Supreme Court of Appeals. and
that body reyerses the lower court
and says that the uDrecorded deeds
were fraudulent and shall not stand.
This wise decision is plain notice
that sharp practice such as Hurst
was guilty Of shall not be permitted
in West Virginia. aud people will
breathe more freely to know that
they have protection against it.

If fire should break out in your
home or business place, or at some
adjacent point, don'tcall up the munic-
ipaI powerhouse over the telephone
and report the matter to whoever hap
pens to answer your ring. HE your
self to the nearest fire alarm box with

in the alarm according to the instruc-
tions appearing on the outside of ev-
cry box and contained in the little
circular distributed free of charge by
the town authorities several weeks ago.
When an alarm is given in this way the
exact location OF the fire Is indicated
on the register in the halls OF the
various fire companies, besides being
proclaimed by the number of taps au-
tomatically sounded by the big bell in
the Ascension Hall tower, and much
valuable time is saved thereby. The
fire alarm system, costing $4,000, was
installed for the protection and con-
venience of the property holders of the
city, and should be put to the use for
which it is intended on all possible
occasions
