p,RENTS AND GRAND PARENTS
: RESORT TO COURT FOR CHILD.
uouStou E. stephens is Subject Of
controversy Before Judge Cline;
Parents Win Child.

II is seldom that session of Supe-
r.or court is held in Henderson county
~ which there does not appear some
oasc containing a phase of deep human
interest, pathos or sympathy and this
time interest was centered around
rorston E. Stephens, aged ten months
The grand parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
Leslie, we're in possession of the inno-
cent little fellow and the parents. Mr..
snd Mrs. Thomas Stephens, through
+be arm of the law sought and recov-
cred the precious infant.
Habeas corpus proceedings were in
et5tuted by the parents through their
attorneys, Smith & Shipman, and the
little child was so precious to the
grandparents that they employed Sta
TIN & Rector to protect them against
1oss of the loved one to which they had,
become closely attached. When court
convened for the Afternoon session
Friday the attorneys stated that the
r,atter had been compromised as re-
suit of which the parents we're to take
the child.
While the innocent little fellow was
resting comfortably in its grandmoth-
e7s' arms, care free and smiling, tbs
latter was copiously pouring out her
tears in grief and with eyes downcast
vas lingering the lace on the ehild,s
clothing.
The attorneys announced that they
had striven to make peace between the
families, but when it was determined
that the mother should have the child
she moved not from the. audience to-,
ward her mother to receive it, but
waited for Attorney Station to lift it
from the lap of the heart-broken
grandmother, who had become closely
attached to it since infancy by reason
of her long nursing of same. There
vas No Kissing and making up between
parents and married daughter as was
suggested by the attorneys, but the
grandparents left the court room in
tears while the parents of the child de-
parted without a smile upon their face.
Judge Cline stated that he could not
blame the grandparents in their close
attachment to the child, but said that
the latter was fortunate indeed for hav-
ing so many to love it. In a jocular
vein he told Attorney Smith that he
cid not like to have to sit in such cases
and if such happened again he would
settle the matter by calling the child
his own.

FARM NEWS

The Farmers Week at Morgantown.
Beginning January 4, and continu-
ing until January 9, inclusive, there
will be given, by the Extension De-
partment Of the University, short
course for farmers and their sons at
Morgantown
The total expense, including rail-
road fare, board, etc, need not exceed
ten dollars for any one from this
county, and every farmer who expects
to remain on the farm five years long
er cannot afford to miss this opportu-
nifty of getting vision of his work
and an inspiration to do better farm
ing. Fellow-farmers, you need va
cation and | hope you will not fail to
take it from January a to 8 at Nor
gantown.
Let me tell you something confiden-
TALLY. There is rivalry between the
agents of several counties to see who
can induce the greatest number of
farmers in his county to attend and l
would regret for this county to fall
behind. Fellow-farmer, / know what
this course will do for the one who
attends, and ! am going to make this
proposition to you. If you will attend
this short course, give close attention
to all the lectures, make notes, if pos
sible, and when you return home, if
you do not think you have gotten the
worth of your money, present me the
bill and l will pay whatever you feel
that you have lost.
A few farmers from this county
attended this course last year, but the
attendance this year should be quad
rupled. w. D. ZINN,
County Agent.

FARMERS, WEEK.

Many farmers from all parts of the
state are arranging to attend the
series of lectures and demonstrations
known as Farmers Week, to be held
at the College of Agriculture, at
Morgantown, January 40.
During this week each year, the
classroons and laboratories of the
college are thrown open to the Wis
itors and every effort is put forth to
make their stay both instructive and
pleasurable Special demonstrations
illustrating various new or improved
methods of doing certain agricultural
operations always prove an attractive
feature. The special series Of lectures
by prominent agriculturists from
West Virginia and nearby states is
well worth going a long distance to
hear Two of these special lectures
are given each day. Some of the
speakers are: Prof. w. G. Coffey, Uni
versity of Illinois; Dean R. L. Watts,
Pennsylvania State College Of Agri-
culture; Prof Alfred Vivian, Ohio
State University; Mr.. Herbert Quick,
agricultural editor and author; Mr..
L. P. Bailey, Tacoma, Ohio; Hon. H.
E. Williams, commissioner Of agricul-
ture; and Hon. A. D. Williams, state
road engineer.
The general class room lectures
will be divided into three sections
general agriculture, horticulture and
dairying.
These courses are becoming more
and more popular each year. Many
farmers look upon this week as part
of their well-earned vacation and feel
that the time is proftably spent in
thus reviewing modern agricultural
practices and making the acquaint-
ance of prominent agriculturists.
