Editors Intelilgeneer;
Arriving on the train Saturday evening,
Just In time for "choir meeting" Ne
could not refuse the invitation to attend,
The meeting vas held at the house OF Mr..
Il. Mcconnell. Quite pleasant evening
was passed not only Prscticins hymns
las that only occupied about ten minutes
Of the tima9 but also entertaining the
"hims." The fact that the streets had
been graded was proved by the sudden
descent Of couple Of tho singers when
taking their departure from The meeting.
Sunday in Moundsville on tsiiHrainy

prayer or the benediction falls from his
lips. We imagine the words he usteEs

The church is devoid of all pretension

Monday morning dawns bright and
beautiful, just such a morning as de-

tation that We spoke OF some time ago.
We could but notice the many improve
ments made in the town within the last
year OF 80. The square from the post
Office corner to the Court House presents
quite lively appearance. Mr. McFad.
dent new hotel is almost completed, and
will be great improvement. The Jail Is
rising up from its ashes, and il only on
the other side Of the Court House. The
principal streets have been graded and
new pavementA laid. Mr.. r. Terrell ex.
pec!s to take his "bOnny new bride" into
his new house in few weeks.
Sheriff Hunter has been fixing up his
house in the upper part OF town until il
presents quite beautiful appearance.
We noticed Rev. Conner and family on
Monday morning bird cage, basket and
buudte,) coming from the camp ground,
where they have been staying since the
breaking up Of camp meeting.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Blake returned home
from the West on Thursday, after
spending a month among relatives and
attending the golden wedding OF Mrs.
B-S parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Mclean. We believe upper town Is
considered one Of the principal business
parts Of MouHdSviIle. The new store
room OF Thomas & Roberts, also the large
ware room on the opposite side of the
street, connected with the store, is one Of
the lnte improvements. We cannot end
our gossip without word about the ''new
minister" Although Rev. Pomeroy, Of
the Presbyterian Church, has been in the
town Tor several month";, he only brought
his family last week. The upper part
OF Mrs. Csldwell's old hone was sc.
lectcd as parsonage, hut the
house was empty and cold. So the good
people women Of course) Of the church
took il into their heads 10 have fires and
warm supper on their arrival Thurs.
day evening. We believe the idea was
faithfully carried out, as We heard some
one remark there were "big baskets, lit.
tie basket, round baskets and square
baskets" and all we'll filed al that. The
gallant knights OF the town are particu.
larly we'll pleased that the new minister
has grown up daughter.
Miss Sallie Oarswell, Of Wilmington,
Del, who has been visiting friends in
Moundsville and Wheeling, expects 10
leave for Latrobc about November 10th
where she will remain week or so, and
then return to her home in Delaware.
We would like to speak Of the mngnii.
