For the Deaf and Blind by
the Rev. Mr.. Coffman
OF Sutton.

| CBy c. y. CofIman, Sutton W. Va.)
Shall the children at the deaf and
blind school at Romney. w. Va, have
! free school treatment equal to other
children who can hear. or shall they
be educated and trained for life OF
servitude?
The Board of Control and the sup
erintendent OF this school have insti-
tuted a new regime which, in my
Judgment makes 1t little less than
"A reformatory. surely the Reform
school at Pruntytown and the Indus
trial Home at Salem can not have
much more exactIns and servile du-
ties, than the one outlined by Mr..
Montague and approved by Board of
Control through Its president, Mr. ].
S. Lakin.

years was supposed to be incurable.

nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment. pronounced it tncurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitu-

of the state of Iowa, is one of the de-
PENDANTS in a suit to quiet title to some
lots in the town of Crescent which was
| filed with Clerk Henry NJ. Brown of the

and his predecessors in interest nave
held notorious and adverse possession
Of the property involved for over forty
ears, and that none OF the detenCailiS
have any leGa! or valid claim to any
Of the property.

tired from a double term in the COVER
nors office. he -.as decided ten lots in
