left out territory regardless of geo.
graphical lines. In the formation
of later districts territory had to be
taken in in order to get the neces-
sary area, regardless of shape or
conditions. In one or two instances
territory in the first districts was
dismembered in order to add to an
other new district. This in itself
should be guarded against, especial
ly where district has assumed OBJ
legations based upon the area within
its boundary lines.
In an ill-shaped district there is
bound to be a part too far from a
central school for child to walk,
and where their parents are not able
to furnish vehicles, it will necessa-
! rily mean an injustice to them.
This county was not divided into
districts as was provided in an act
passed by the General Assembly in
1897. Possibly at this date such a
provision would be impracticable.
We fully realize that geographical
lines must give way at times to local
conditions, bur- there should not be
too great variance from either.
We suggest, in view of the fact
that there will be meeting of the
school trustees of the county this
fall, that dt the same time there be
meeting of the county delegation
and board of education. And by a
Joint meeting of these three bodies
they can outline some policy by
which special school districts, in the
past and future, may be put at rest.
It is rumored that quite q number
of fish in our strea are being kill
ed with dynamite, but we have
been unable to get the names of the
guilty ones.
We recommend that the proper Of
fcials take the necessary steps to-
wards fixing the cracks on the front
of the court house. Have it rodded
if it be necessary for a permanent
cure.

ions given US as to our duties as

trial for his life, he was confronted
with pretty hard proposition for
young attorney making his debut,so
to say, into the real practice OF his
profession. Mr. Arrowsmith had a
hard case even for veteran, but he
handled it throughout with the skill
and GOODNESS of a seasoned advocate.
True his man was convicted, but
those who heard the case opine that
the young attorney did mighty well
to Get his client off with life impris-
onment instead of hanging.
Solicitor Stoll came near making
a clean sweep Of the docket this
time, as the court records will show.
Solicitor Stoll is vigorous prosecu-
tor vet not unreasonably severe, ,and
he has = ade good in the trying
position l,e holds, even beyond the
expectation of his friends. To follow
such a Solicitor as Judge Wilson is
no sinecure and it is high praise in
deed to say that Mr. Stoll makes a
worthy successor.
Mr. D H Smith acted as court
crier at this term and he makes a
good one. He has a voice like fog
horn and when he calls come. into
courtr' the individual named can
hear him if he be anywhere IN
town.
Judge Shipp, who made his initial.
appearance here as presiding Judge
since his elevation to the bench, won
many favorable expressions by the
fairness and impartiality of his rul-
ings. Judge Shipp is regarded as
one of the ablest Judges on the
bench, yet he is as plain and unas-
suming as when he was private
in the ranks" This is distinctly in
contrast to some Judges we have
had here who seemed to think that
because they had been given author
lty above their fellow-man, it invest
ed them with the power and attri-
butes of being superior to the or
dinary human.

refer to their duties as to looking

offices of magistrate, Superintend-
