Panscea, August 1e.-There has been
some ''Wailing," and perhaps q great
deal Of crashing OF teeth" here this
week, BY certain young men who came
for pleasures other than getting their
health back. This condition Of affairs
was Of course brought about BY the de-
parture Of certain young ladies' whose
charms were certainly sufficient 20 turn
the head Of almost any young swain.
Others are coming In this week though,
and the danger Of q serious catastrophe
seems 70 have been aYerted for at least
time.
Speaking Of the young folks reminds
me (there may be another memory alsO)
they bad most delightful time over at
Bay View Sunday highland several
other nights. ! mention Sunday night
especially because Il bridged over the
ehurch.golng hour, and the attendance
was real good. No one complained
either about the length or earnestness
Of the sermons-there were really more
than one, but they were delivered sim
ultaneously IN different parts Of the
house (mo8tly the shady recessesl, and
the audience Ia most instances was
small but urgently attentive.
Seriously, Sunday night will be long
remembered by all lovers Of music who
we're here. Mrs. r. 4. Myers presided
at the piano, and her splendid voice Was
well supported By John T. Costa. Dick
Long, Jr., and q beVy Of other young
ladies and gentlemen, whose memory
still dwells with us very fOndly.

His Sextuple Murder
Near State Line.

GRUNDY, Va. Nov, 27.-Howard

Mrs. Betty Justis, George Meadows
his wife, and three members OF his
family, was found guilty of murder in
the first degree this morning by the
jury. which was out all night.
Little was sentenced to be electro
.cuted in Richmond, January Z.
The most important witness for the
prosecution was Mary Lee, the woman
who made her home in Little's family
She testified that on the night of the
murder a lamp was kept burning
when Little went away and that he
was absent all night. She stated that
she was awake twice during the night
and the lamp was still burning.
AT o'clock in the morning she
arose to get breakfast and found Lit
tie asleep. His coat was hanging near
him wet, as If 1t had been washed. A
lantern which was not his own was
on table near him.
Little took the lantern out after
breakfast and began to file on 1t, the
woman testified. and would not tell
her why he did so. She said he came
into the room two hours after break
fast and called for bandages to tie
up his leg, stating that he had. cut II
while cutting brush that morning, but
when she examined the wound 1t was
found that the blood was dry. Little
appeared very restless thereafter and
frequently would wake up in the night
and talk for hours with his wife, she
stated.
He took the lantern up a hollow
several miles from the house and hid
1t between two logs. she said.
Several witnesses identified the
lantern which had been fond in the
hollow as one George Meadows, ono
of the victims. had borrowed from a
neighbor.
A physician, who removed the
bullets from the body 'of George
Meadows. testified that the bullets
taken from Little's revolver and tee
bullets taken from Meadows's body,
We're of the same weight and make.
Senate Justis. a son OF the woman
murdered, stated that he had worked
with Little before the murder. and
Little had frequently asked him how
much money his mother had ''by her"
He said he had told him. Another
witness stated that Little had said to
him that 1t would be an easy matter
for some one to murder the Meadows
family, rob the house and burn the
victims.
Mary stacy, woman with whom
Little is alleged to have been In
fatuated, stated that Little gave her
$50 the day before the murder to buy
clothes, that she might be ready for a
trip. and told her they would go as
soon as he could get some money
from bank.

Simpson and Eagle Districts
Decide to Have a
Campaign.

Following the educational rally IL
Coal district, the superintendent OF
Coal, Eagle and Simpson districts
held conference in Clarksburg
Friday. November &c, for the pur-
pose of comparing notes and discuss
Ting plans for future work. At this
meeting 1t was definitely decided
that rallies similar to the one re-
Gently held in Coal district would be
held at later date in Simpson and
Eagle districts. The state depart
ment of education and leading edu-
Gators will assist.
From reports handed in by the
different superintendent the follow
ing interesting summary is given:
All schools in each of the three dis
tricts have been completely supplied
with window shades, wash basins and
towels, dustless erasers, thermdme-
tiers and dictionaries. In Simpson
district dictionary holders have also
been supplied.
Necessary outbuildings have been
erected, and in Coal district all OF
them have been treated to coat oil
lime and thoroughly disinfected by
the same material in the same dis
trict the floors of all school houses
have been oiled. In Fable and simp-
son a few floors have been similarly
treated. School premises have been
cleaned up and conditions generally
improved. In Coal and Simpson all
buildings are protected by fire in
Psurance.
Teachers meetings are held every
two weeks in each district. Attend
|ance is required by the different
boards of education, and but few of
the eighty-one teachers employed
have shown any reluctance to attend.
A definite course of study is being
carried out In each district, that OF
Coal district being similar to the
clarksburg course and Eagle and
Simpson using the new course Of
study recently issued by the state
board of education. Coal and Sim
son have each added music and draw
Ing to the regular course with sue !.
cess, the music being especially sat
isfactory in Coal district this term.
Regular examinations are being held
under the direction of the superin-
tendent and monthly reports OF each
student are sent to parents.
In Eagle district three new school
houses have been built, one of which
"a two story building-has been
equipped with the American warm
ing and heating system.
Thirty-four of the thirty-six Goa,
district teachers attended the Mo
nongahela Valley Round Table meet
ing which was recently held at
Grafton, and the result has been n
distinct gain to the district in better
work and greater enthusiasm ON the
part of the teachers. 1t is probable
that the teachers of Eagle and .stmp-
