Many conventions are reported,

the fact that while all the church
es participated in the meetings
yet they were under the supervi-
sion of the Presbyterian Church.
Rev. Mr.. Haupert made many

than when he came. He has the

Jules A. Viquesney

Many of Jules A. Viquesney's
friends are pleased to learn that
Gov. Hatfield saw fit to re-appoint
him again as Forest, Fish and
Game Warden for West Virginia.
Mr.. Viquesney made no fight
for the position, but as he filled
the office so satisfactorily in the
past, it was needless to talk or
think Of a change. There were
several aspirants for the position,
but the Governor took his time
in making the appointment, not
because there was any question
as to the one for the position, but
for other good reasons.
Mr.. Viquesney is considered
the leading sportsman in West
Virginia, and the kind of a sports
man that appeals to the common
people he aims to protect and
conserve the game and forests
of the state.
Mr.. Viquesney was an appli-
cant for reappointment, not be-
cause he was anxious to draw the
salary it provides. but because he
likes the work. In fact it is be-
lieved by his intimate friends that
he spends practically every cent
Of his salary promoting features
of his department for which no
expense money is allowed by the
state.
Belington is proud of the honor
of having state official station
ed here, in the person of Mr.. Viq-
uesney.

The Teachers. County Association.

The second and last meeting Of
the year Of the Barbour County
Teachers Association met in Bel
ington last Saturday, Feb. 7.
A very large representation of
teachers and school patrons were
in attendance
The pedagogical side of til e
progrm was represented by Miss
Mcqueen, Of Broaddus and Prof.
Shreve, of Wesleyan.
Teachers are often accused of
narrow" because it is said when
together they talk nothing but
shop that little of the outside
world enters into their conversa-
ton and reading. We do not think
the accusation is true, but in order
to depart from the customary pro-
gram the committee through the
assistance of Mr.. W. B. Rector,
Of Belington secured the services
Of Rev. Earle A. Brooks, of Wes-
ton to deliver a lecture on the out
side world, and he chose for his
subject Birds and used for
his text aquestion from that great
naturalist John Beorroughs; I'VE
can gain lot Of facts, such as
they are, but we may lose our
own souls" (Sail is not used in a
theological sense).
Then, in this text, we have two
views as applied to bird study or
any other study. We may know
a lot of facts about birds, and be
able to name the BAT species in
our state, tell all about their ha-
bits and economical value. and
still not love the birds. on the 9TH
er hand we may know the names
Of a few, little of bird life, but
still our souls may be- translated
by their song and associations,
SO we may learn a lot of facts,
such as they are, but lose are own
souls.
The idea that Rev. Brooks
would have the teachers emphas-
ize to the pupils is, inculcate in
the pupil a love for the beautiful
in the life about us, whether in
birds or insects, and deal not SC
much with cold facts. In chas-
ing facts we may lose sight Of
the good the thing Of higher
value, that which lifts us up and
makes us better.

MANY ARMS AT GOLFERS.

Wellsburg. w. Wa man who Is
acquainted with the situation sur
rounding the miners strike at Golfers
said that IL the guns and revolvers
were collected from houses and pre-
misses at that place 1t would take a
two-horse wagon to haul them away.
1t Is known that the officers are
anxious to see the guns elimina ted.
but as the weapons are held on the
premises of the miners. just how to
legally disarm the contestants Is a
question. The miners strike in the
three mines in Brooke county seems to
have resolved itself into question OF
endurance.
