A Word From The City Band.

Another season has passed and new
page has been added to the record of oul
organization.
Notwithstanding the difficulties thai
beset our way, we feel that we have &C
complished much during the past yeal
and greatly encouraged to redouble ou1
energies, that we may eventually have
our ambitions gratified in producing q
genuine. fully equipped Concert Band.
Have we set our mark too high? We
hear scores of voices from the best citi
zens of our town answering in the mega
tive and believing that the people vii
respond literally to the demands of sucl
an organization. we are mastering ou1
forces for the emergency.
Do you know what it means to equip
and bring such band before the public
1t means that there must be a united eff
fort on the part of our citizens to raise
necessary funds for new instruments, un
itorms, music and last but not least, II
we would have this band before the pub.
lie at an early date, 1t means that we
shall have to find positions for several
men who will be needed to form the frame
work IN new sections to be added to the
band and without which we should iail
in our purpose.
Some may say 1t is to much too under
take in old Charles Town, but we feel
confident. of the result if the people will
do their part and judging from the past
we have always found the people ever
ready to share the burdens of their fell
lowmen and to do their full duty as they
saw it, and we do not mean to make this
an exception toithe rule.
We do not mean to dictate as to the
contribution of any man, neither do we
want to throw any man out of employ
ment to make room for a map that we
might use in the band. but we want tho. e
who give employment TO men. TO ever
have the interest of the band at heart and
when in need of men to consult the wants
of the band aud all things being equal to
give preference to man that could be
used in the band.
Our plan is as follows: To thoroughly
organize under Constitution and By
Laws, that will insure the most efficient
service from the individual member; to
elect an honorary membership on which
we can depend for perpetual support,
thereby assuring the maintenance of the
band and an undying interest; 10 make
monthly state ments for the press, that
the people may know for what purpose
their money has been used and that har-
mony may prevail.
Having every reason to predict ready
response to this appeal. We hope to soon
to be in position to enliven the old town
with music that makes the heart glad and
an organ zition second to none in this
part of the country, proud in our own
strength and the pride of the town.
, For the benefit of the public in general,
we desire to say once for all time. pre-
pare to meet the obligation at sight for
we have determined on the coarse and it
must go. Very respectfully.

Circuit Court.

Judge E B Faulkner held special
term of the Jefferson Circuit Court on
Tuesday, Opposing of several pending
.hancery causes.
In the case of Conklyn Brothers VS. The
Shenandoah Milling Co. the time which
had been allowed the defendants at
-orney to file brief was extended, he
having failed to file it within the period
originally given him.
The report of Kate w Reynolds. guar
lian. who was complainant in a-chancery
suit with others was submitted, and there
,eing no exceptions to it, was confirmed

will of the late Lewis c Lucas, together
With the payment of the costs in connec-
100 with the settlement of the estate
ormed the subjects of the report. and
tfter its confirmation the case was
ordered on the deferred docket.
An extremely interesting question of
law was passed upon by Judge Faulkner
in the case of Daniel B Lucas and others
against the personal representatives Of
the late Eugene Baker. The creditors of
Mr. Baker sought to get possession of the
proceeds of two insurance policies which
he had carried on his life for the benefit
of Mrs Baker. The contention of the
creditors was that Mr. Baker had used
r,,orax, RI, boar, HI, 1,fa ;,,e,r,,,o. x~oI..:..
in force after he knew himself to be
insolvent. The court held that all the
premiums that Mr. Baker had paid with
in FIVE years before the institution of the
suit we're rightfully assets of his estate.
aud should be applied in satisfaction OF
creditors as far as they would go towards
rendering satisfaction to them. Less
than $500. the aggregate of the premiums
paid within the period named, will be
given over to Mr. Bakers administrator
by the benef Charles of the policies, to aid
in the payne It of the claims of creditors.

value of the properties involved was in
sufficient to pay off the deb.s IN FIVE
years. hence the order for the sale.

In accordance with custom long OBJ
served in this country, and the late
proclamation of the Precedent, hereby
set apart Thursday, the twenty sixth
dayof the present November as day
of general thanksgiving and prayer to
Almighty God, which day is q legal
holiday in the State of West Virginia.
As citizens of the Nation and our
own beloved State, and as individual
persons and as members of society, we
have countless reasons to be earnestly
thankful for the numberless blessings
of the year. This is the greatest year
the world has ever known, and the
signs are now with US that the next
year will be better still. Our develop
ment in material wealth and our pro-
gress in intellectual culture have been
very great; but greater and better
than these, for without it they would be
worse than nothing, has been the won
|derful awakening of the moral consci-
BUSINESS of the people, accompanied by
great growth in spiritual things and in
loftier ideals. Where there is no
vision the people perish. /"
Therefore, recommend that the
people, in their homes and in their
churches, on this Thanksgiving day, of
fer up thanks toGod for the blessings of
the past and prayer for His guidance
| in the future.
In testimony whereof / have here
unto set my hand and caused the Great
| Seal of the State to be affix-
| ed. Done at the Capitol in
| I SEAL the City of Charleston. this
| 18th day of November, in the
year of Our Lord one thousand nine
