behalf OF each of the concerns by

~Postponement OF the hearing was

the attorneys to secure an agreed

the hearing. leaving the way clear
for argument on the question of law
which is involved.
The rules against the defendants
were issued by the Commonwealth of
Virginia ct the relation of the Cor

Williams. The publishers ave re-
Gently signed contracts agreeing to
furnish high school books to Virginia
pupils at certain prices, to be placed
on sale at places convenient and ac-
cessible to the patrons. Judge VIII
.lians claims that in doing this they
are tranaacting business In Virginia
which n foreign corporation may not
do without having first taken out a
license.
Deny Linhility.
Answers were filed by former At
torney-General Anderson in behalf of
the American Book Company, the Cen
fury Company, Scott. Foresman e. Co,
Benjamin II. sanborn & Co. Silver.
Burdett e Co, Charles Scribner's
Sons. Houghton. Mifflin g. Co. D. c..
Heath e Co., the Macmillan Company.

These state that the companies are

a violation OF q penal statute by mere
Inference. based on q construction of
language. without actual proof of the
facts essential to sustain the charge.
After setting forth the requirements
OF the contract to see that the books
are placed within reach OF the pupils,
the answer says that it Is no concern
OF the state Board OF Education how
these results are accomplished. The
contracts, II proceeds. were not made
in the interest of the state as q body,
hut OF the pupils IN the public schools.
Respondents say they had no Idea, when
that they would be required to pay
heavy fees for domes;ication. saying
that ouch knowledge would doubtless
have forced higher quotations on the
books, thu wori;ing an eventual hard
ship on the patrons OF the schools.
Profits In book publishing. It is alleged.
are narrow.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Is about to enter Virginia from another
an gls. It's officers were yesteray
granted q charter by the State Corpo-
ration Commission to build a road from
the Kentucky line to Grundy. the coun-
" seat of Buchanan county, a distance
of fourteen miles. The concern is
known as the l1evisa River Railroad
Company. Its oflcers are Decatur AN
tell. president; r. w. Gnce. vice-pres-
ldent; A. Trevett. secretary; NJ. T.
spicer, assistant secretary; L. F. Sui
Ivan, comptroller.
Tine capital stock is $4,000.
Already there is a line of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio down the Big Sandy
River TO Elkhorn City. Ky. within a
few miles of the Virginia line. Tho
supDosition has been for years that It
would eventually connect on the bor-
der with the Carolina. C%linchheld and
Ohio. the Thomas r. Ryan road, which
is to be built through Dickenson coun-
~. It Is presumed that now, without
waiting for the other road, tile Chesa-
peakc and Ohio will build through the
breaks of the Big Sandy and reach the
Levisa fork at Grundy. touching val
uablc minera deposits. The Junction
with the Ryan road could still como

2srH WEDDING ANNIyERsARY.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Good of Brook
Street Honored Saturday Evening.

About twenty-five friends and neigh
bors gathered at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs James Good on Brook street on
Saturday evening to remind them that
it was the 18th anniversary OF their
wedding. Miss Nellie Good, their daugh-
ter who is employed as housekeeper for
Rev. w. j. 0'Sullivan Of Montpelier,
acted as hostess, and the excellent turkey
supper, which she provided with her own
hands, from the king of the feast to
the dessert, was in itself notable trib-
ute to the mother from whom she re-
ceiyed her instruction in the culinary
art.
After supper, the evening was spent
in games, singing and dancing, until
midnight. Before the party dispersed
james Grogan, in a brilliant and witty
little speech, in which he told of the
esteem in which the worthy couple are
held in the community, presented them,
in behalf of the company, several pieces
of silverware, as mementoes of the oc-
casion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Good are old residents of
Barre. Jimmie, as he is affectionately
called by everybody who knows him,
has been employed for many years by
Barclay brothers as granite cutter.
Their many friends throughout the city
wish them long life and happiness. They
are of quiet and retiring disposition,
both genial and kind hearted, bubbling
over with their native Irish wit when
in company.

CROWDED ON LAST NIGHT.
Barre Band Fair Partly Made Up for
Quiet Times Earlier.

The Barre Citizens band closed its
six-nights fair in Rowland hall Satur-
day evening with the largest attendance
of the week. The time usually devoted
to a short entertainment was given over
to dancing, which began promptly at 8
o'clock and ended around midnight At
the height of the merrymaking, it is
estimated that 100 couples We're on the
floor, while many onlookers lined the
sides of the hall. The band orchestra
of six pieces furnished excellent music
for the dancing and an exceptionally
good time was the result. During the
evening, the different booths, dispensing
fancy goods. domestic articles, refresh
ments, etc, did a thriving business and
carried out their fun share, each and all.
in swelling the proceeds. The drawing of
the prizes took place at l0;30 o'clock
In point of attendance, this years
fair was not as successful as last year.
The weeks calendar of local events was
apparently crowded to the limit, and
this fact alone is responsible for an at
tendance hardly up to the average dur
ing the first five nights of the fair.
However, the gratifying patronage on
the last night viii partly reeompense
the band members for the sacrifice of
time and effort, and it is believed that
after the expenses incidental to the fair
are met a fair-sized sum of money will
be realized for the support of the organ
ization next season.
