for a "better and larger" Mann
ington, and the present city COM
mission is more than willing to
help things move along.
Progressive Club
One of the chief factors in the
civic life of the city is the kiwan1s
Club, made up of the live-w1res
business men of Warrington, and
this club has lately endorsed a
proposed bond issue for the equip
ment of the citys with new fire
fighting apparatus and modern
water system. A movement is also
on foot to build two new bridges
in the center of town, making
them modern in construction and
design, and to build a new city
building at the intersection of the
two traffic highways.
With location as favored as
any, and with the vast resources
within reach, Warrington has Just
begun to realize the possibilities
the future may hold for her, and
within the next few years great
improvements and changes are
anticipated by her citizens.

.BOOR AND DAVIS IN
FLOUR AND ICE LINE

When firm makes a specially
of both flour and ice. success ma
turally lies ahead of it. This has
been proven in the case OF the
firm OF Boors & Davis.
This concern started in the
wholesale flour and feed business
in Warrington twenty. years ago !.
It's business has grown by leap and
bounds ever since, and now it has
a plant with more than 10000
square feet of floor space. OF this
fully 1900 feet are devoted to
the flour and feed business.
The remainder OF the space is
occupied by the great ice plant
This is one OF the most up to date
in the state and gives employment
to nine men. The machinery is
modern in every respect and the
plant has a daily capacity of fif-
teen tons. Three wagons are need
ed to supply the wants Of custo-

and it is to this industry that
Warrington owes great deal OF
its initial prosperity. To degree
the city is today dependent upon
these industries for the standing
it has among the cities in West
Virginia.
School System
One of the greatest assets OF
Warrington is the present school
system which it is said has no
equal in the state. The past year
was one of the most successful IN
the history of Warrington educaI
ton, mainly due to the efficient
corps of teachers. The pupils did
grade work of very high charac-
ter. especially in the Junior High,
Two new departments were addeo
to this school last year, art ana
penmanship. These departments
proved very attractive to the
pupils and patrons, and an eXhlplt
given before the close of the term
indicated great progress.
The Wilson School holds hlsn
place in record attendance. WITH
1876 enrolled, the school had an
average attendance of 97.4 per
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1922-06-10

cent. This school also held high
honors in work done last year.
The Warrington High School Is
an institution of which not only
the city but the entire surrounding
community is proud. First class
in every way, the graduates of this
school have the advantage of all
branches of learning found in high
schools, and besides receive train
ing under a staff of teachers thor
oushly familiar with their work.
The. enrolment in the commercial
department increased more than
100 per cent over last year, and
this is only indicative of the
growth in the entire school.
Last year $4,000 was invested
in modern equipment for the man
ual training department. making 1t
possible to do work of the most
technical nature.
Prizes total1ng over $500 We're
given at the end of this term Tor
excellent attainments in scholar
ship, art, athletics, manual train
ing, and domestic science. Plans
are now being formulated for the
creation of permanent prize
fund, the proceeds of which are to
be awarded in prizes annually
New Gymnasium
A new gymnasium made poss-
ible much better athletics than
ever before, and the school showed
well in football and baseball dur
ing the year.
Warrington High School is the
educational center, for the sur.
rounding districts. A class OF
forty-fve was graduated from high
school this year.
Warrington is situated in spot
Of great natural beauty at the
junction of Buffalo Creek and
Pyles Fork and there is abundant
room for expansion on the east,
south and west, sides. Rolling
meadows and hills offer opportun-
ity to thousands yet to come.
Center of Good Roads
The city Is the center of good
roads in Marion County, and is
easy of access to a major portion
of the county together with sur
rounding counties. These good
roads lead to rich agricultural
districts and to the oil fields.
In addition to the industries
mentioned before, Warrington has
abundant resources in the way OF
coal, several veins Of which are
found in the surrounding forma-
lions, and in a plentiful water
supply which makes it possible to
secure added industries.
In the last year or two a marked
increase in the public spirit and
civic pride has been noticeable In
the citizens of Manning ton, and
there is to all outward appear
ances now dawninE a new era OF
growth and development in tn e
CITY itself. Everywhere Is a call

Years before the Baltimore and

William Wiley plotted and laid

III was under this name that 1t
asWentSnnti1 1852 when the last
stretch Of the Baltimore and ONO
ERai1road was Joined together at

Nchanged to Pennington. AT that

blessed too with churches, having

In addition to being easily ac-
cessibIe by road, Pennington is
convenient by both railroad and
street railway, which makes 1t
not only desirable as residential
town. but equally as desirable for
business houses, because of the
prompt service they can always be
obtained on shipm ents of any kind.
Among Farmington's manufac-
turing industries are an ice cream
plant, ice cream, concrete block
plant, planning mill, lumber yard,
and building supplies. with I'M
limited possibilities for almost
any kind of manufacturing-and
pest of all, Pennington citizens
stand ready to offer all the assist
ance they can give to further any
thing that willshelp to bring plants
10 their town. It is even rum ored
that some two Or three of the
more prominent citizens have Of
fered to give free, location for
plant that will employ from 15O
to 200 people. One need but. spend
o few minutes in the town to rea-
tie that the next few years will
see Pennington take great forward
strides.
both homes and factories are to
be had and the lowest cost OF llV-
ing with lower electricity and gas
rates certainly will prove benefl-
cial to those who choose to make
Pennington their place of business
and home.
Among the educational institu-
lions that Pennington takes great
pride in is the modern nigh school
building recently erected at cost
Of many thousands of dollars. fully
equipped in every way with
modern gymnasium and manual
training room. The citizens have
q uSt 1lnlSHGu puIllAS- iIoi y nc
50 900 into improving the grounds
around the school. They also have
fine eight room graded school,
brass band, and last but not
least Pennington boasts or the
first wireless station in this sec
ton which. according to different
newspaper reports. was the first
TO utilize wireless anywhere in the
state for commercial use, in 1919.
Lynn Book a prominent young
Pennington man is the owner OF
this wireless, which was practlc-
ally all built and erected by him n
self. IS, :. ~ e.
AS further proof of EARNING ton's
eure growth, one need but take a
look at the many, handsome resi-
dences and business place now un IN
der construction, and the wise
man who takes opportunity by the
forelocks and locates in Farmlla'-
ton now will see his property OF
business increase in value many
times within the next re" snort
years.

McLendon EXPLAINS Protest.
Secretary McLendon, in his certi-
fcation Of the governor, giving the
figures, says the protest filed by
Senator J. E. Davidson is a general
disregard Of the positive require
nents of our law as To the per-.
sons who are to conduct elections,
and the manner in which these cleo
lions are to be held, and the manner
in which they certified. Without
going into the details, because |.
submit to you the entire record in
the ease, it is pointed out in this
protest that, in two counties, the
certified consolidated returns now in.
this office, bearing a large num-
Der of names, were manifestIv all
written by one and the same hand.
IN other respects it appears that one
person held the election in a given
precinct and that in many Of the
returns there is no evidence that the
persons holding the elections were
legally qualified"
1t is shown that, if the protest is
found to be legally well based, and
effective, it will throw out 5,349
votes polled in favor of Peach coun
ty and 1921 poIled against Peach
county, leaving the final total a.
439 in favor of creating the new
county and 22,G45 against its crea-
