MARTINS FBRRY.

WHATEVER the faults of Martins
Ferry may be, lukewarmness does not
appear to be one of them. She bravery
ppts her shoulder to the wheel, and II the
wheel don't move it isn't her fault. In
the temperance move she has ranked
foremost in zeal among the towns OF the
State, and an untold amount of good has
been accomplished. For the size OF the
Mace and the numerous classes employ
ed the town is civil and quiet, and there
is no sign of its retrograding.
THE next thing to be discussed pro
and con, is the w0men's rights question.
There will be meeting held at Farmer 5
Hall next Tuesday evening, when I:
Smith will speak on temperance and
women's rights. All are invited to at
tend and TWENTY-FIVE cents admission or
ffty cents for reserved seats will be
charged. .......
Mrs. CAROLINE TALBOT, of Mount
Pleasant will preach in the NJ. 4. Church
next Sunday morning, and at the United
PRESBYTERIAN Church in the evening.
She is said to be an eloquent speaker. II
modern spirtualism be true, We expect
every dav that that good old man, ia
lilo. who when made publicly to retract
his statement that the world moved, by
the convincing argument OF red not
irons pointed at his eyes, said he took II
all back, but whispered to friend as he
passed og the judgment hall, at does
move. though" to materiallze, ana cry
from the house tops in loud tones, There,
| told YOU So for the world sSstredly
does move when a woman is announced
to occupy the pulpits of two strictly or
thodox churches, in a steady, orthodox
town in one day. s..
meeting of the Board of Directors
or stock holders of the Ohio City Iron
and Nail Works, held last night It was
decided that the stock holders should pay
in heavier percent on stock and 50 pay
of their men employed. The proceeds
of the work have heretofore
gone to pay debts outstanding,
for construction and other expenses OF
starting the works, hence the failure to
nav the men. A meeting will be held ON
Saturday, when they will be paid in part
or in full.
AT the social and concert given at the
Methodist Church last night, the house
was crowded, and between seventy-tiVc
and one hundred dollars was taken in.
THE CITY Hall is receiving thorough
renovation. The SQuirc's office has re-
ceived newly papercd walls, II white
washed ceiling. and this afternoon seemed
especially clean and comfortable. The
lookup is being painted, as the whole in
terror is to be soon. This is the best
move the town has made for some time,
and we congratulate the originator OF
the improvement on their sense Of what
is due the eternal fitness of things.
A vERITABLE antiquaries ship has
hoated up or down the river and settled
Mt the ferry landing on the West
Virginia side. 1t is long, low
| building, or boat with three"
rooms and and stoOp at each end.
From the pole reaching high from one
end of this greenIoeking craft floats II
flag with the names Clay and Frehng-
huyscn on it; and when we entered the
boat the first thing that struck our eye
was piles on piles of old newspapers.
Picking up one, we found it the Wheel
ing DAILY REGISTER for 1868, and the
next one was Il Home Journal with the
obituary of Washington Irving in IT, and
the next DcS Etdts UHiS for 1893.
MARTGN's FERRY has taken to races.
Considerable money is changing hands
on the boat race for Saturday between
Cochran and Phillips. A foot race Is
talked Of and two prominent gentlemen
are making arrangements for II horse
race at the Island Driving Park two
weeks from Saturday.
From the report made at the Quarter
" Sunday School Convention held at
Bridgeport on Sunday last, We find that
there are five hundred and furty-rour
scholars belonging to the Martin Ferry
Sunday Schools. j.. l..
