about character, about tho character
OF West Virginia. and about the grea,
things that have been done.
Great as West Virginia Is in
natural resources. grandeur OF
scenery and Industrial supremacy.
we must always remember that
her future greatness and welfare
will after all be most largely do
tcrmined by the character of her
citizens. Character can not be
bought; It can not be lost; II Is
not a feoting shadow. Though
West Virginia were by somo mys-
terious calamity deprived Of her
vast wealth and resources. the
high character OF her people
would still stand as nm eternal
monument to be admired by fu.
ture generations. Your present
effort, therefore. to secure the In
terest and cooperation OF our
youth is evidently OF the highest
Importance II is the best birth

BOARD
DISCUSS CARE
Of CITY PARKS
KEEPER OF CENTRAL PARK AND
LIBRARY GROUNDS SELECTED
AT MEETING OF BOARD HELD
yesterday.

A special meeting Of the park board
was held Thursday afternoon for the
purpose of making arrangements for
the maintenance of the city parks
during the summer months.
The board decided to retain Mr.
Moorehead as keeper of Central park,
and also custodian of the Carnegie
library ground for another year. Mr.
Moorehead has been in charge of
Central park since its establishment,
and has given universal satisfaction.
The care of Wilmington park will
be given to the sexton of the ceme-
terry, as was done last year.
The board is contemplating opening
street southeast of Wilmington
park, past the Mueller property, but
no action was taken yesterday.
The question of establishing a park
on Hargrove Heights was up for dis
cussion and seemed to be favored by
every member of the board. This is
the proposition to establish a park
on Hargrove Heights. in the north
west part of the city, and, as the
spot is ideally located for this pur-
pose, it will in all probability be done.
It is understood that several enter
prising citizens of that locality have
agreed to contribute literally toward
this enterprise, set out trees and
flowers, and install a fountain.
Final action will be taken by the
board at called meeting to be held
within a few days.

SWATT|NC THE
Fly ALL OVER
THE COUNTY
LECTURES HAVE BEEN ARRANGED
AT MANY OF THE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AND MUCH INTER-
EST is MANIFESTED.

The swat the fly" campaign in
Carter county is not confined to Ard
more and other centers of population,
but a casual trip over the county,
even at this early date, will reveal
the fact that the propaganda being
distributed by the International Har-
vester company, through farm agents
and school superintendent, is getting
results.
Prof. Coffman, County Attorney \,
J. Hardy and f. X. West, secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce, went 10
Deese "Wednesday night, and gave an
illustrated lecture showing the man
ner recommended by the great mar
vester company for Kidding the coun-
try of the fly pest. They report that
Prof. Spears at Deese has flne
school, with a good attendance, and
that they are deeply interested in
this work.

SEED PEANUTS ARE HERE
Secretary of Chamber of Commerce
Has TWO Hundred Bushels.

Secretary West of the Chamber of
Commerce announced yesterday that
he had just received two hundred
bushels more of seed peanuts for dis
tribution among the planters of this
locality.
Mr.. West states that he was for
tunate enough to secure these seed at
Dallas at $11O per bushel and they
will be distributed at that figure to
all who want them.
The peanut acreage will be con
siderably larger in this section than
was at first anticipated. The Ard
more Cotton Oil company announced
that it would take all it could get at
top market prices, and this state
ment had a tendency to stimulate
small growers to increase their acre
age.
The Chamber of Commerce also
purchased some high-grade cotton
seed for this locality, and about half
of il has been disposed of with the
balance nearly all spoken for. More
attention is given every year to secur-
ing better seed and the farmers OF
this locality are prospering by this
wise action.
