nounces that the rule permitting 80

the suit and the trial of the case un-
doubtedly will be adopted by judges
in Spokane county, going into effect on
November L.
Judge Hinkle. who has studied the
question for years, also advocates the
reforms in requirements and proceed
ure in divorce cases not only in this
county, but all over the country.
Six months or a year between the
time of separation and filing Of COM

Two years residence in the state to
enable a former non resident to sue
for divorce.
introductory decree of divorce not
to be made final until six months or a
year after the trial of the case.
Requirement that parties may no.

of the divorce.
THE requirement now is that suit
be filed at least five days before the

be that a case would be started one
day and rushed to trial on the next.
Publicity was lodged and often a year
would pass before relatives or friends
of couple knew they had been legally
separated.
THE system followed in several
states of granting an interlocutory de-

not become final except through the
act of the petitioner. ,ix months or a

The 9th session Of the Farm
Vile State Normal opened on We'd

700 persons, then there must have
been more than 500 present.

present, wondered and regretted
that some Virginia ditty. and in
the absence of such, Dixie wasn't
sung out clear and strong, making
the welkin ring with its unsurpass-

son, make the most of it."
Rev n NJ Fugate, pastor Of
the Baptist Church. conducted the
religious exercises, and President
Jarman gave the words OF welcome
to the "old and new girls" and
as he mentioned the "old girls" our
eyes wandered over the brilliant
audience and failed to spot them.
The faculty-circle gave no evil
dence Of such presence and that
bevy of Virginia girlhood sparkled
with the fairness Of the early spring
time with the dew drops glistening
from every bow and bud.
Announcements followed, en-

those OF the President and the
heart wish of the Herald is for a

THE NEW COUNCIL IN SESSION.
THE BODY ORGANIZED FOR
WORK.
Old Officers Retained Except In
Case OF Serg ant. Hubbard
Succeeds Miller. Commit
tees Named.

The first session of the new
town council was held on Thursday
evening of last week, with Mayor
Blanton presiding, and all the mem
bers present The meeting was for
the purpose of organization, and
when this was done the body prompt
ly adjourned. All the old officers
were reelected with the exception
of the sergeant, for which position
Mr. F. w. Hubbard was named by
the decisive vote of TO l. There
were a number of applicants, but
only one ballot was taken with the
, result above stated. Dir. Hubbard
has won envlable record In the ousl-
ness circles of Farmville. and will
no doubt make a worthy successor
TO Sergeant r. ID. Miller. whose Of
fetal history has been above 70
pToach. A petition. numerously sign
ed by the voters and tax payers of
town asking that the matter Of
the sergeantcy might be determined
by a primary, was presented. but
to this, under the advice of the
attorney OF the town. the council
said they had no jurisdiction, and
so proceeded with the election.
The next meeting of the body
will be held on the 18th. when the
regular work will be taken up. Just
as the council adjourned the artil-
lery of heaven opened up with a
full battery as We thought and for
a time there was heavy firing all
along the line. Many remained in
the chamber. some of them enjoy
ing the billiant display, while 9TH
ers we're nervous. Whether this
was storm salute TO the incoming
administration. or parting salute to
the old council il is not for us to
decide. It may have been sent
simply 10 test the nerves Of the new
officials
Some regret is expressed that the
members were not actually at work
at the time Of the visitation so that
the test could have been applied
while they were in harness.
The Herald expresses the hope
that their sessions may be free from
storms. and that their administra-
tion of the affairs of the town may
be peaceful and profitable.

A Good One On The Cashier.

When in attendance upon the
AppOmattox Association of his
church, Cashier Walden was intro
duced to a venerable brother as
cashier of the First National Bank,
at Farmville, who on hearing the
cashier prefix to the name, turned
abruptly away, saying. II have had
enough of those kind OF folks. "
1t was explained that he lost sew
eral thousand dollars by reason of
the failure of the Charlotte bank,
and the mention of cashier" wasn't
music to his ears.
And that brother should have re-
membered that there was one Judas
among the Masters chosen and clos

to make ready for another picnic
at his spring. and the day fixed
upon is the 23rd of September And
the parties making this request ad-

as contribute to the make up of a

tatoes, chicken, etc. as they can
spare and the rest of us go pre-
