A New Temperance Movement.
That there is absolute necessity for a
temperance reformation in our State can
not be denied, and we are pleased to see
that the various Churches are moving in
this matter. Rev. J. G. Tunisah, of Gov
ington, KY, called on us on Monday last,
and left with us the following appeal,
from Wilmington, with the petition here
to annexed, which, in accordance with
his request, we cheerfully place before
the readers of the HERALD:
WILMINGTON, o., Nov. Is, 1873.
To all Christian. Workers:
The Churches of Wilmington, O., to all
the Churches of every name in Ohio, send
greeting:
We ask your cooperation, in an ap-
peal to the law-making power of this
State. to protect the people from the ter
rible sacrifice of life, peace and property,
caused by the traffic in and use of intoxi-
eating liquors. To this end we ask that
the following petition may be circulated
in every Church and signed by every
tiOn to the Legislature when assembled
in Columbus, in January, 1879.
S. W. ELLIOTT,
Pastor Presbyterian Church.
B. Y. SIEGFRIED,

Yours Truly,
A CoNsTANT READRE

The protracted meeting at the N. P.
Church is still in progress. We. learn
there has been one accession.
We care informed that the Sunday School
workers of this town are making great
preparations for an entertainment, of
some kind, to take place on Christmas.
We learn that Rolin Shields was happf-
ly surprised on Thanksgiving day.. On
his return from church he found a large
number of his relatives and friends in
possession of his house and surroundings.
1t was his birthday. No doubt the occas-
ion was pleasant one.
Our town is not the most civilized vii
lage in the world. Rowdyism seems to
be on the increase. We hope the mem
bers of the Pleasant Valley church will
awaken to a sense of what we think is
their duty, and enforce the law on such
as would disgrace themselves SO much as
to misbehave in the church. aud annoy
those who want to do good. Law and
order should prevail in all civilized COM
munities, especially in the church of God,
where his followers meet to worship him.

Suggestions.
EDS. HERALD:
L have been constant reader of your
paper for 10, these many years, and have
taken much pleasure in scanning and
perusing its. many items of interest. I
used to wait very impatiently for its issue,
and wait at the door for 'Ethe boy with.
the paper" L still look anxiOusly as ever,
but horrid vision of some long article,
with something less than a thousand
names, giving an account of some sur
prise party, or birthday or wedding an
niversary, with an account of how tEAunt
Ophelia,'' or "Uncle jake" or somebody
else's aunt, was so surprised when they
came in to find there their neighbOrs and
friends all assembled, with well-filled
baskets, and sstables groaning under the
great load of good things and then
comes the names of the something less
that a thousand, who have so kindly con-
tributed to the surprise of aunt and uncle
(who have known of the approaching
surprise for the last ten days. but then,
they must be surprised, or else the play
would not be a success. The next horrid
vision that possesses my brain is that 9TH
er long and we'll filled column, giving an
account of somebody visiting somebody,
or where somebody is the guest of some
body else. I say that the vision of those
things mars, to great extent, my antici-
pated pleasure in the perusal of your 9TH
erwise very interesting paper. Now, in
all conscience, can't we "have a rest'' on
those surprise parties for awhile, and
can't the visiting column be filled with an
account of the many valient feats of s'Jac<
the Giant Killer - or discuss the question
of ''Who killed Cock Robbin,'' in short,
anything but surprise parties and wedding
anniversaries.

NON" 10GES 1910"
EDS HERALD:
Having seen the notice of my friend, L.
Browns return, with such glowing de-
scription of the land over which he trav-
eled, thought it would not be out of
place to give an account of my view of
Arkansas land.
I left the train at Newport, a town
about 175 miles from the Mississippi, by
rail, and in the northeastern part of Ar
kansas. I found the climate healthy; no
chills and fever. A few of the unestab-
lished settlers had plenty to eat, such as
sweet potatoes, fruit, etc., and corn, for
which they were getting so cts. bushel.
The grass was from ohe to two feet high,
affording excellent pasturage. Cattle,
hogs and sheep can be raised in abund-
ance.
traversed the, beautiful country with a
| guide, about go miles, until 1 reached
Forest City, about one mile from which
place, l passed yard filed with the most
beautiful cultivated flowers. This made
me think there is nothing that can keeE
the seekers of a new and better home
away. Plenty of good water, good tim
Der. And have returned mot only to ge
men to take up the land, but to get them
to help take our poor starving stock dowr
to eat the grass.
Very Respectfully,

Ungraded Schools.

EDS. HERALD:
Allow me to say, through your paper,
that the writer was present at a general
gathering held at the school-house build
ing, near Carr's Mills. The meeting pro-
posed the consideration of educational
topics, the exhibition of the school under
the tuition of Mr.. Arbogast, the bringing
together of the masses, and a general
good time. In all of these points it was
Il success.
Very excellent remarks on education
were made by Messrs. Hamilton and H.
Sanderson. M. Badger was quite timely
in an enthusiastic talk on the metric sys-
TEN. For one hour or more, Prof. Allen
greatly interested the audience with
chemical experiments, illustrating his
remarks on the gases of air, water, etc.
The school sang very beautiful song
entitled ''The Public Schools in a man
ner to indicate their earnestness and
training. Hon. Fl. V. Kerr made short
though telling speech.
The school-house site, where Mr.. Arbo-
CAST holds, is one of the most command
ing; the yard is unusually spacious; near
| its center nestles a commOdious building
amid the storm-tried and ancient oaks.-
Step within and you may find new seats,
large blackboard, some apparatus, and
the walls ornate with pictures, ,evergreens
mottos, etc. These ornaments are the
every day suit of the room. More than
all, Mr.. Arbogast has the whole commu-
nifty interested in education. The enthu-
siastie crowd present bears unmistakable
evidence that somebody up there is entEas-
sjastic. When county supervision obtains,
the work of Mr.. A will he strong bull
wark of encouragement to the itinerating
superintendent. J.P.P.

PETITION.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives Of
the State of Ohio:
Your petitioners, citizens of Ohio, come
to you, our chosen Representatives, in
behalf of the - Church, of
and as members thereof, representing in
our families and congregation a popula-
ton of - persons, - of whom are
legal voters; and respectfully ask that
you will, by appropriate legislation, pro-
tect US, and the law-abiding citizens of
this Commonwealth, from the evils re-
sulting from the manufacture, traffic in,
and use as a beverage, of intoxicating
liquors. You have the facts and figures
showing the effect of this traffic in caus-
ing crime, pauperism, and fearful train
of evils reaching to every home and heart.
We know of no plea that can be made
for the continuance of business that pro-
duces nine-tenths of the crimes and mis-
demeanOrs that effect society, and we con-
fidently appeal to you to grant us such
legislation as will enable US to relieve our
selves from the burden of expense and
misery that is now imposed upon us by
this traffic. We are not fanatical, but as
sober-minded Christian men and women,
fearing God; laboring earnestly for the
welfare of humanity, we ask your decis-
i've action to remove this evil from us ,and
we will ever pray, etc.
