I'!c congregation was materially

churches of this side of the river in
a union of the churches Of Greater

Fairmont has been wonderfully

months in a material way as well
as spiritual way.
The Lyon Evangelistic campaign
conducted in this city during the
carly spring, did more for Fairmont
in religious way than can be csti-

awakened at this time and many of
its leading citizens who up to that

matters turned about and are now
among the leading factors in the

met this morning at the county build
ing with Judge Bentley to discuss the
practical working of the new mothers
pension law which goes into effect
August l..
Judge Bentley explained To the SUI
perintendents that the law as before
constituted, gave nm power to take
dependent children and place them in
institutions at county expense " he telt
that this course was necessary lie fur
Their explained that the law now gave
him authority 20 leave the children
with the mother provided that in his
opinion. the mother was "a competent
person to have charge of the children,
and to pay the mother not To exceed
50 per month for each child. The law
thus makes il possible FOR dependent
children To bc extended the county aid
that they would otherwise have had to
he put in a county institution To re-
coive and still 10 allow them the hene-
Its OF personal supervision and care
that they would set from their mother

The superintondrnts will probably
put this law into practical working as
soon as cases arise.
