Editor West Yirginian.
The Times this morning comes out
|Swih head liner and creates a new
state board called the Hoard Of
Regions But Just. what the duties Of
this board are 1t does not say. Per.
haps 1t wants to divide our state up
Into different Kind of regions, coal
regions, limestone regions, clay re.
gions. ETC., Or maybe It is deserves
II dividing US up into dry regions and
wet regions. At any rate our contem.
porary should be more specific and
not leave SO much for the reader to
conjecture. Or maybe 1t Is that only
in certain regions that the Board of
Regions Is properly appreciated.
The proof of printing is reading or
1t, and the Times proof reader should
have corrected today's issue before
1t had gone to press and not leave it
for the public to stare at and deciph.
err. Il
Let us suggest a few other things
to the Times. Motor is spelled motor
and not moter. Cyclone means wind,
not spelled "sissalone.' meaning u
girl by herself. Rhino means the skin
of hippotamus and not money as
many people suppose. :.
Prcsspiration. there is no such a
word unless the Times proof reader
has recently coined 1t.
Da,gos and time-nys are synony.
nous.
Cat is spelled cat and not kat or
katt.
Hen is spelled hen and not hem,
and means a female chicken. IS
Roster is not rooster. A rooster is
gentleman chicken.

Marion county is one of tho very
few counties OF the State to show an
increase in the amount OF money re-
Eceived from the general State school
fund this year. Owing to the large
Increase In enumeration in the State
and the appropriation of-$75.O0O out OF
the general school fund to aid the
poor districts Of the State, there is a
decrease per capita Of thirteen cents
from the general school fund. But in
face Of this.decrease in per capita ap-
Rortionment Marion county shows a
gain of nearly four hundred dollars.
And Marion county has just begun to
grow. Just walt till the Jamison Coal
Company, the Keystone Coal Com.
pany; the Four States Coal Company
and "a lot Of other big coal companies
get under full swing in this county,
which are new here, and then tho
school enumeration and the county
population will go forward by leaps
and bounds. There is no mistake
about II Marion county is a conner.

70 cents a pound, the farmers can
make money raising sheep. 1t was
said the Democrats couldn't look a
sheep in the face without pushing
after the Wilson-Gorman tariff law

sheep business in the State. The vot-

OF wireless from Montreal stating
that the Lcneve woman had been

patch from Montreal stated that the
company had not been able to cstab.
