The weather man has had a monopoly on cold storage. The mercury in the thermometer occasionally slips up to zero. It was ten, to fifteen degrees colder in the valleys round about than at Elk Garden and other places on the mountains. Well, the denizens of the mountains do not begrudge the valleyites a few degrees at the lower extremity of the thermometer. The snow is not so deep on the mountain, about six or eight inches, but what there is is polar snow.
A half a score of adventurous young ladies and gentlemen took a sled ride to Hartmonsville last Fri night. Howard Keplinger furnished the team and was the driver. On their return they stuck in a snow drift at Kensel's Hill where a man froze to death about twelve years ago, but the merry sleighing party escaped with an eighteen - degree-below-zero chill, and the sleighride is now a pleasant reminiscence. The party was made up of Misses Estella V Hott, Anna C Fleming, Laura Barrick, Mamie White and Mary Abernathy. Messrs. Bun and Bartley Kilroy, Herb Seaman, Dent Davis and Steve Kearney.

DEATHS

Robt Sommerville, a notice of whose death appeared in these columns three weeks ago, was a native of Hardy Co, W Va, the son of the late Alexander and Jemima VanMeter Sommerville, born November 1862, the seventh of a family of nine children.

His remains were brought to Moorefield and on the evening of Dec 11, 1911, after a brief service at the grave, his body was laid to rest beside those of his father and mother and other members of the family, in the family plot in Olive cemetery.
Letters from business associates and friends at Pettes bear testimony to his integrity and worth and the high esteem is which he was held by those who knew him best.
He is survived by two sisters, misses Sally and Kate Sommerville, of San Antonio, Tex and two brothers, John of Laredo, Tex and Edward, who has recently returned to his old home and is now engaged in business here.

BIG DAMAGE SUITS

Cumberland Md, Jan 16. - An unexpected turn was taken in the famous Green Ridge orchard cases, involving the alleged torture of Frederick W Viering, woods foreman and Andrew Zalor, boarding house keeper, employed by the Babcock Lumber Company of Davis, W Va, when John W George, of Cumberland, a superintendent, and John Iskra, Horace Fisher, William McClure, Frederck Ludwig and William Billmeyer, employees at the orchard, which is a million dollar proposition owned by F Merten's Sons, pleaded guilty to assault. The grand jury failed to indict for murderous assault. Witnesses will later appear to give testimony that the gravity of the offense may be determined. The charge of carrying concealed weapons will be contested.
Viering and Zalor, today, each entered a civil action for $20,000 damage against F Meten's Sons for assault and false imprisonment.

ELK DISTRICT SCHOOLS

Up in Elk District, where the coal mines are and the big grazing farms, much interest is taken in the schools. The board of education is made up of Isaac E Oates, president, Elk Garden, John H Tice, Elk Garden and J Frank Bane, Sulphur, with Prin D C Arnold as secretary. These men are active in their work and alive to present day needs. They realize that there must be a going forward in matters educational.
Twenty-five teachers are employed this year; salaries $55 for first grade, $45 for second, and $35 for third. Eight teachers hold first grade certificates, sixteen second and one third. These teachers for the most part, are doing honest work, several are doing excellent work. The spirit of the teachers is shown in the fact that at the district institute all were present except two, and these two were absent from very good causes. Also at this institute, among other good things, a unanimous resolution was passed asking for district supervision. And the chances are the teachers will get what they asked for.
There are sixteen regular school buildings, ten of these have flags and eleven have libraries. In all there are over two thousand books in these libraries.
Following is given the names of schools, teachers, and addresses of teachers. Where two addresses are given, the second is the home address, otherwise, it is both the home and the school.
