County Courts
From haymonds History d Harrison County

They were In hourly danger OF being
attacked by a savage enemy, and hav-
ing their new government blotted out
of existence, and toppled over by the
strong arm OF barbarous foe, but
at great disadvantage and danger
to themselves they had met to per-
form a duty to their country; had
discharged that duty well and intelli-
gently and all honor is due them for
It.
The house in which this first court
was held stood near the present town
of Buckhannon in the neck Of the
loop of the river, about one mile east
Of the Upshur county court house, and
is said to have been built by John
the father Of George Jackson. 1t has
long since been torn down and NO
part OF it is now standing.
The next meeting of the court was
held in Clarksburg the following Au-
gust, presumably at the house of Hez-
ekiah DAVIDSON, and was the first
court Of any kind ever held in that
town.

not known, but II was on what is now

The Seasons Carriers.

Never before were carriers so at
tractive. This is largely because gar
tiers have so completely entered the
zone of the negligee. They are Eever
worn, the roundabout kind, with cor
sets, and it is only when milady is
clad in tilmy chiffon petticoats and
silk slippers and fluffy crepe and lace
matinee jacket that she wears these
devices for keeping the stockings In
place.
One of the newest garters is made
of black ribbon, shirred in the usual
manner over elastic. Each garter is
trimmed with little strip of pink
chiffon roses.
Many garters are made with lace
ruffle on each side of the sllk-covered
elastic band. Flowers, too, are used

ON these for decoration. Then there
are garters with fringe Of colored
beads or gilt or silver threads on one
side only to hang down when the gar
ter is in place.
1t is, of course, a fad to have
pair Of garters to match each negligee
or at least to have garters Of several
different colors-plnk. blue, violet
