FLAGS FOR 1000 SCHOOLS
VIII Be Distributed to Commemorate
States 5Oth Anniversary June 20.

Several years ago the legislature
adopted design for a West Virginia
state flag but on account OF It's diff.
cult color scheme 1t was not possible
TO have the flags made at reasonable
prices. Secretary Of State Reed hes
at last succeeded in solving the prob
lem and under his direction a beau
tlful flag has been evolved. having all
the emblems and colors originally des-
tsnated but arranged so as to mako
the lithographing and color printing
possible ct q minimum cost. EiRht
thousand Of these state flags will be
delivered about June first and dtstrib-
uted among the eight thousand schools
IN the state. Up to this time very few
people have even seen the state flag
or have any we'll defined idea as to
what 1t is like. It was therefore a
most happy conception Of the Semi
Centennial Commission to place ono
IN every school house in West Yir-
ginia.

been called by a serious injury
to their sister at the hands of a
crazed husband.
This lady, Mrs. Hampton
Brown. had left her husband on
account of neglect, and returned
to her parents with her two year
old child Here her husband
sought her out. and after una
vailing efforts to have her re-
turn to him, he shot her twice.
and then turned the weapon
against himself, killing himself
instantly. His young wife was
fortunately not fatally injured,
although both bullets had taken
effect. She was taken to the
hospital at Mitchell, where eff
orts were made to locate the
bullets, but without success thus
far. Her injuries are not fatal,
and it is thought she will re-
cover.
