' There are now twenty or twentyfive local youngsters in camp and several more-are planning to join the crowd Monday. Several of the lads are high school students who are toughening up for the football season this fall. George Hartrick who is in charge of the camp, has been making careful inquiries of autoists as to the condition of roads, leading from. Fairmont to the camp. "While there are some shorter routes which average only about forty miles for the trip," said Mr. Hartrick. "the roads are rougher than if a slightly longer trip is made. "There are two of the shorter but rougher routes?one by the way of Pruntytown, Philippi and Voiga, and the other by way of Boothsville, Bridgeport and Peel Tree.

The case was tried before Magistrate M. R. Musgrove, who transferred^,his court to the | Circuit Court room on account of the large number of persons interested in the case. The case*yesterd:.y was that of the coal-.company vs. J. T. Brummage, who occupies house No. 120. After most of the day was spent in getting a jury, the following men finally qualified:, D. B. Herron, Melvin Bunner, Calvin Cunningham,"W. A. Crowel, PC. G. Wycolf, and W. E. Morgan. Ths case was started at 4' o'clock. Witnesses were introduced for the plaintiff who testifie<f*that the defendant, Brummage, had occupied the house of the ^plaintiff since April 1 of this year'and had failed to pay the rent. The defendant did not introduce, any witnesses. Attorney Paul G. Armstrong representing th,e coal compahy took five minutes to present his case to the jury, after -which Attorney C. M.

Attorney Whitt said In his argument that the' defendant was still in' the employe of the plaintiff company and was^ready and willing to so'to work when ever thccompacy signed a contract in lieu of the one which expired; on April 1.
