The township recently voted for
a flGO.OtiO bond issue for that
purpose. It is said that the
country people voted against the
proposition almost solidly, but the
town carried the election, even
though the town already pays its
fctreet tax, and will pay propor

than the country.

recommending to the county com
mi&sioners the construction oi
toilet rooms fur ladies at the
court house w ill doubtless receive
the indorsement of all good citi
zens of the county, and especially
every lady that ever has business
at the court house, including al
the lady teachers. It is only prop
er to provide accommodations at
the court house for the ladies
equal to those provided for the
men. At every terra of court la
dies are forced to hang around
the court house and wait some
times all day without even a com
fortable place to rest. And out-of-town
lady teachers are made
to sutler great inconvenience on
examination days and other oc
casions requiring them to spend
a good portion of the day aUut

It the newspaper reports are cor
rect, that homicide at 1'arkersburg
the other Sunday was one of the
foulest, moat inexcusable murders
committed in this section in many
a day. There was an innocent,
highly esteemed and law-abiding
citizen, so the reports say, quiet
ly spending the Sabbath, and be
cause, forsooth, he refused to
supply cartridges on Sunday for
a drunken man to !ay those w ho
happened to be the objects of his
insane wrath, he loot his own life.
What law-abiding citizen is safe
when hfe can thus betaken with
out warning and without provo
cation"' The Siatesviiie Landmark, corn
meriting on the crime, says:
"If the facts are as stated, the
only excuse that can be orfered
fyr this w iHfu) murder is that the
perpetrator of it was under the
issuer,

This
excuse

is not an excuse for crime,
