SCHOOL NOTES,
BY LULA WALSH

We are glad to say that the
school at West Liberty is still in
creasing. Fifty new pupils have
been enrolled since the holidays
and we hope to enroll as many
more during the next month.
You, who are planning to enter
school this winter, come to West
Liberty and let the school officials
show you what is awaiting you.
Good comfortable rooms and well
prepared food can be procured
for you for $3.50 a week. DO
not be lured on by the thought
that you can get board elsewhere
in some dormitory for $500 per
week. Speaking from experience
you spend from rs cents to Sl.OO
per week extra to get something
other than bakers bread and
navy beans.
One of West Liberty's most
hospitable and up to date ladies
was heard to say send the boy
or girl to my home and | will
keep them, free of charge, for a
day or two and go with them over
the town until they find a suitable
home" This shows the true
spirit of our towns people anc
is enough to convince you thai
West Liberty is the place to at
tend school. You can't afford tt
go through life without an edu
cation, so come on now. We are
ready and waiting to serve you

You see any business that is dis
continued for a year or so is to a
certain extent disorganized and
will require some time to get on
its feet again. "
Then you are still hopeful of
the outcome?"
Nothing can prevent the ulti-
mate development of this county.
She has the natural resources and
her people are energetic, loyal
and true and will yet come into
their own."

DR.. Collier interviewed.

Dl4 NOlIlSl lutSl NlSWSuN
A representative of the Courier
interviewed DR.. S. R. Collier re-
Gently in regard to the suit of
the Sewell heirs against himself,
Mr.. Conley and Mr.. barrow, and |
asked him several questions con-
corning the results which would
probably follow the decision of
the case which is now pending
before A. M. j. Cochran, FEEDER
al Judge for the Eastern District
of Kentucky,
The interview follows:
Doctor, we are frequently
asked, by the citizens of this
county, what we know about the
suit of the Sewell heirs against
yourself and others; can you give
us any information concerning
this suit?"
"All that | can say is that we
have had no decision in the Sc
well case ~
Do you have any idea wher
you will get a decesion?'
1--WE are expecting a decision
at any time"
SIS it true that the people VIII,
own the Sewell claims and sem,
otner old patents are trying t,
dispose of them?"
Eyes, l understand they ar
offering to sell them for $500,
OOO?"
About how many acres d,
they claim?"
Il believe they claim in al
about 300, 600 acres.
In your opinion what effect arr
these old claims having upon thu
development. of this country?
1T is a cloud upon the title O.
this much acreage and natural!
keeps capital from being invest
ed here. No business man il
going to invest any considerabl,
amount Of money in this countr,
until the title to these lands i
cleared"
"Then it is your opinion tina
there will be but little develop
ment in this county until thes
questions are settled?"
"That is my opinion. l don
see how it can be otherwise. "
"How much of your holding
involved in these old claims?"
"Only a small portion of m
holdings is involved in the Sewe
claims. We developed two {
three small tracts before W
knew of the existence of thes
claims. :"
Does the territory they clai
consist of large or small tracts?
In some instances it consis
of large tracts, but these trac
have been subdivided into sms
tracts and are now occupied
homes by people who have bougI
and paid for them, but who a
not able to defend their titles
gainst the claims of the SewC
heirs"
who is furnishing the mont
to defend those titles?"
1.-THE defendants in this actic
have never asked the landowne
to contribute dollar toward d
Tending their titles?"
IF you lose what will be Il
result?"
I'VE have just lost; that's all
do you think that if you W
