A number of Mt. Pleasant ladies
came to Martins Ferry, on Monday
to assist their sisters in the crusade.
Temperance has absorbed rearly the
entire time and attention Of the people
of Bridgeport during the past week.
Meetings iOr prayer by the ladies havel
been held every day, and the evenings
occupied with mass meetings, at which
were devotional exercises and short
speeches. Nothing remarkable has as
yet transpired. A solemn feeling SEEM
ed to pervade every tlseting. We had
Dr. Grimes with Us one afternoon; Of J
course he made US a stirring address
full of his peculiar powsr. We also
had speech on Saturday evening from
a Miss Boyd, of Wheeling. These .
were our only strangers during the
week. A determined spirit to conqner
peryades the advancing hosts, aad we
believe they will succeed. On Monday
the estreet-praying band sailed forth to
the number OF 30, and bearded the lion
in his lair. First they visited Adam3
Eberly, but finding him closed, moved1
across the street whittier Adam had
gone, to Mrs. Neininger, where, after a
little parley, they were permitted to
enter and pray; after some singing was
lone in front of her door she seems
very rebeiiious and can't think that
she has ever done anything wrong. or
course not, only keeps a doggery to
make drunkards; an awful position for
l woman to occupy. After prayers,
ler and passed back to Eberly's, whOl
which the ladies proceeded to make at
,nce by kneeling down in front of his (
1oor and praying earnestly for him and
lis household. These are the only tw O r
objective points in our town. We shall q
watch developments with interest. u
