THE SCHOOL YEAR.

Tuesday great army of children
in Berkeley county entered upon the
duties of a school year The city and
county have provided we'll for the ed
ucation of their young, and those who
are in charge of the schools should
see to it that every child of school
age attends the required number OF
months. With improved school build
ings, better facilities and longer
terms there is no need for any child
TO grow up in ignorance. The oppor-
tunities are theirs, and, far better than
what their parents enjoyed, they
should take advantage of them and inn
prove every moment.
After a few months of rest, tho
teachers are more able to instruct
than they were last year. and they
should feel that they are duty bound
10 exert their hest efforts in aiding
the young through their school lives
:, gratifying feature Of the first day
was an increased enrolment over
last year. This is encouraging, which
proves that the people in general are
manifesting more interest in school
work than ever before Let everybody
join in the work and make this the
best year we have ever known.

MORGAN COUNTY
IS GETTING GOOD
Court viii Have to Adjourn Because
There Are No Criminals to Pros
ecute and No Litigants.

Berkeley Springs, w. Va, Sept A.
Circuit Court convened yesterday
morning at 0 o'clock with Hon e.
Boyd Faulkner presiding.
This being His Honor's last regular
term of court there was quite lively
time in cleaning up the docket and
before court adjourned for the term
ute a number of cases will have been
stricken of. There are now only
about 20 cases on to law side and So
on the chancery and before court is
over this will be cut down so that will
require a telescope or magnifying
glass to find the docket.
The two hunllies who were placed
in Jail Sunday for fighting are much
better and will be given a preliminary
hearing today before Squire Coughlan.
Judge Faulkner has decided to hold
a special term of court on Wednes-
day, November 20.
Herewith is copy of order dispens-
ing with the grand jury for the Sep
TENDER term, which will show that
Morgan county is not so bad after all
and in fact speaks volumns for the
condition of affairs in the county.
In Vacation, Aug. 10, 1912
In the matter of a grand jury at Sep
TENDER term, 1912 of the Circuit Court
of Morgan county, w, Va.
The prosecuting attorney of Morgan
county having reported to the under
signed Judge that we have no one
in iail and no one out on bond that We
will not need a grand jury at the Sep
TENDER term" It is ordered that the
grand jury for the September term.
1912, of the Circuit Court of Morgan
county be dispensed with.
The clerk will enter this order.
E. BOYD FAULKNER,
Judge of the Circuit Court of Morgan
County, w Va.
Mr.. H. Fl. Emmert arrived in town
about noon yesterday, having been de-
tanned on the road by punctured tire,
four spikes, two nails, three lacks, one
piece of glass and two screws, was in
cidentally the cause of the trouble.
Some people are very much exer-
cised over the proceedings in court,
but if certain attorneys expect to do
business here they must get a move
on and move quick, because the judge
says there will be no docket at all for
the January term, 1913, if he can help
it.
