TEMPERANCE LECTURES. The lee
lures upon the subject Of Temperance,
by Mr.. Hoofstittler, of Sterling, H.,
began on Wednesday evening Of last
week in the Court House with but a
very small attendance. The two sub
sequent meetings were held at the NJ.
+. church, and were much better at
tended, though hardly calling out the
audience demanded by the importance
of the subject. As to the lecturer, it
should be remembered that scarce two
years have elapsed since he stood, as
it were, on the very bottom round Of
the drunkard's ladder; and that, al
though a man of fine abilities and fair
education, he has had no special prep
alaiion fol- the rostrum aud actually
made his first appearance as a public
speaker some time last February
Taking these things into considera-
ton he certainly does both himself
and his cause great credit-preferring
as he does, argument to rant, pursua-
sion to violence, charity to denuncia-
tion-and manifesting the very great
est earnestness and sincerity. Over
one hundred and fifty persons, We un-
derstand, signed his pledge of total
abstinence.

crowd passed along, the women and
children at every dwelling appeared
at the windows, doors and gates, to
witness the solemn midnight specta-
Gle, and many such utterances as,
'rThis is awfulm ssTerribler' "It's a

When arrived at the bridge, Hines
was taken to tree a short space be-
yond, and having nothing to say fur
ther than that he was sorry for what
he had done, he was quickly execu-
ted.
The other two, Dawson and Estep,
were taken to the. center of the
bridge, and the ropes having been
adjusted, they were given half an
hour to say what they had to say
and make their peace with God.
Young Estep said he wanted time
enough to see his folks and bid them
goodbye. They were present and he
took his leave of them. Some one
made an appropriate prayer to God
in their behalf for mercy. Dawson,
on being pressed to make his peace
with God or make some confession,
swore with an oath that he "would
not get on his knees before any
id man on CampbelPs creek"
and told Estep not to say a id
word. The cry then sprang up from

To- 9StL 1919

DEAR EDIToR:-We would respect
fully ask permission to occupy small
space in the JOURNAL with "Crown
City news" Doubtless many read
ers of your paper have concluded
that our town is of minor Importance
because we are so seldom represented
in the correspondents column.
This of late, is easily accounted
for, from the fact that every person
who enjoys health and talent is con-
centrating their united efforts, both
mentally and physically, to complete
and make comfortable the NJ. E.
Church of this place, for the purpose
of dedicating on the first Sabbath in
February next.
The Rev. d. H. Moore, D. D., of
Cincinnati, will entertain the people
on the occasion. We anticipate an
interesting and pleasant time, as we
can boast of the largest and best
conducted church in the county out
side of Gallipolis.
A good choir, with instrumental
music, will be in attendance, and
everything else attainable to add to
the interest of the occasion.
The J. c. Crossley will leave
Ironton Sunday morning, Feb. 9th,
carrying passengers at half rate,
round trip, returning to Ironton Sun
day night.
Come and enjoy a good time, and
bring your pocket book or the
"Widow's mite, - either will be
highly appreciated and thankfully
received.
Health of the community reason
ably good, with exceptions of few
cases of typhoid fever.
Business looking up in the "City"
now.
Miles Blake is improving in health,
and is getting his share of patronage,
both as merchant and lawyer--in
the latter, he is always successful.
