you cannot find those who are
financially able to bear the expense,
pay portion or all of the expense
from the treasury of your school.
Should the school be unable to bear
such expense, appeal to the Christian
business men of your community or
to the fathers and mothers who have
children in your school, and who are
anxious that you do your best for
them, and they will be glad to in
vest some of their money, and with
out doubt will put enough into your
hands to pay the cost of sending
your representative to Morgantown.
The entire expense of sending such
a representative will not be great,
even from the remote parts of our
State. All the railroads in West
Virginia charge a rate of 2 cts. per
mile. There will be no charge for
tuition, but all except University
students will be required to pay an
incidental fee of sl.oo.
Instruction will be given in all
phases of Sunday School work.
Opportunity will be given each day
for rest, recreation and study. Send

IMPORTANT POM
GAINED BY WEST VIRGINIA RTHE DEBT
SUITCASE.

( JUL StASL.
| Charleston, W. Va, May es.-By
an agreement signed up here tonight
by Attorney General conley on the
part of West Virginia and Attorney
General Anderson on the part of
Virginia, it is believed that this state
has succeeded in gaining a point
which will result in deducting be-
tween two to three million dollars
from the claim of Virginia in the
virginia debt suit. Attorney Gener-
al Anderson was here at the taking
of dispositions relative to the condi-
ton of roads, bridges and river inn
proyements at the time West vir-
GINA became state and the evidence
produced was such that he later
agreed that this state could prove
that large part Ofthe improvements,
if not in fact nearly all of them, had
had been destroyed before June go,
1868, when this state was formed.
IMPROVEMENTS vALuELEss.
Though excepting to the competen-
cy and pertinnecy of the evidence,
virginia's attorney general admitted
over his Official signature that West
Virginia could prove by competent
and creditable witnesses that the
turnpikes owned by the turnpike
companies in Monongalia, Preston
and other counties in the northern
part of the state had no work of re-
pair done on them during the war;
that many of them became impass-
able before this state was formed and
that no dividends were received from
any of them after that date.
USELESS WHEN SEPARATION CAME.
AS to bridges and other improve
ments the agreement is not confined
to the northern section of the state.
He admits that proof can be produced
that the bridges across the Buckhan-
non river in Upshur county, Cheat
river in Preston, North Branch of the
Potomac in Mineral, South Branch in
Hampshire, Potomac at Shepherds
town, and Elk at Charleston, were
destroyed before this state was form
ed and that those across the Guyan-
dotte in Cabell, Monongalia at Nor
gantown and Fairmont paid no divi-
dends after that date, and the stock
therein was of no practical value.
The agreement admits that no evil
dence of the improvements on the
Monongahela river and Tug Fork of
the Big Sandy remained when this
state was formed.
This agreement is looked upon as a
strong point in favor of this state as
it proves that these improvements
were destroyed and of no value after
West Virginia cut loose from the
Mother State. Counsel for this state
contends that no charge should be
made by Virginia for improvements
which were useless at the time of
the separation, and it was expected
to take several months to gather the
evidence, which is now admitted,
though virginia's counsel claims that
such charges are proper.
DAWSON GATHERS EVIDENCE.
Ex-Governor Dawson, who was in
the northern part of the state gather
ing evidence and the names of wit
nesses has been called in and only a
few cases remain in which deposit
tons will be necessary.
While Attorney General Anderson
was here testimony was taken rela-
tive to alleged improvements in this
section of the state and it proved
valuable to the state defense. After
signing the agreement Attorney Cen
eral Anderson left for Richmond.

Sawmill Promises Long Rum

The expectations of the manage ment of the local sawmill at the present time are that the mill will start up for the seasons run with. in five or six weeks, if the weather continues favorable. The indica- tions at the present time point to a long season, as big orders out of the ordinary are already in, and then there is the regular business of the mill besides.
 It is to be hoped that the prom ises now in sight will niaterialize into certainties, and that more will follow, as the town needs to have the mill running and the resulting paychecks circulating around in the business channels.
 There is little or no probability of sale of the property at this time, and the impression now is that the mill can be operated at q good profit, with anything like an average season in sight, so every body interested has about decided to leave matters as they are, in the hope that general bushes condi-

The hall will be fitted up with reading room and gymnasium so that there will be no lack of rec reation for those who may desire to avail themselves of the hail and it's equipment.
