A largely attended meeting OF
the committee from the various civ
ic organizations who arc making
an effort TO seucre library and
memorial building in FaiTmont was
held last night in the Circuit court
room OF tho court house. Repre-
sentatiyes Of ten OF the original II
organizations were present as well
as a number OF delegates from 9th
er bodies which had not taken any
part in the meetings heretofore.
The outstanding feature OF the
meeting was the appointment OF a
committee of four with power to
select a commission OF ten persons
who will then meet, formulate the
plans for securing funds for the
proposed library memorial and re-
port back to the general library
committee. 1t was also suggested
that all Representatives of the var

during the holidays and select the

A general discussion was held
with regard to tho location, size oL
tho building and various other mat
ters Of interest, but no action was
taken on any OF tho many sugges-
tons made so as not to hamper
the work Of the commission OF

TAKES THE OATH
Retiring Judge Admins
tered It And Then En-
tered the Order

A pleasant ceremonial that was
a reminder of the dignified way in
which the judicial campaign was
conducted, was enacted yesterday
afternoon when Attorney E. NJ.
Showalter presented his commits
sion and took the oath OF office as
Judge of the Criminal court OF Ma
rion county where he will serve for
the next term of four years. The
oath was administered by Judge
Scott G. Lowe the present incum'
bent, who also entered the order
himself instead of allowing that
part Of the work to be done by the
clerk Of the court as is the usual
custom.
Judge Showalter is the first reg
ularly elected judge Of the Grim
inal court, which was inaugurated
about two years ago by special act
OF the legislature when the Inter
mediate court was abolished by the
same means. Judge Lowe was the
first to sit on the Criminal court
bench, having been appointed by
Governor Cornwell.
The ceremony yesterday was
marked by the best Of feeling, the
two judges having been friends for
many years.
