Scott Nj. Il. Church.

The past year has been one of great
encouragement to Scott church. The
congregations have been very fair and
much of the time. large. The So
cial meetings have been Of interest and
profit. More than 40 adults have
joined the church and some of them are
doing effective work for God. There
seems to be u growing spirit of kindness
and good fellowship amongst officers
and members. The leaders and stew.
ards recently passed resolution re-
questing the return of the pastor for a
third year. Yesterday they intensified
their action by providing for all the
stewards expenses for the year.
The opinion of some is that the out
look for the church is more hopeful
than it has been for years. Few church,
es have been more sadly embarrassed
by the hard times than this church, yet
by the devotion other goodly members
the prospect is bright for the future.

The NJ. n. X. A. Entertainment.

Il An entertainment of a very pleasar
r nature was given in the NJ. S. R. A,
hall on Saturday evening. Though II
tickets had been sold during the week
large audience was present, whicl
: fact proves conclusively that the asso
citation has host of friends, ever re d,
to help them on in their good work
The only motive that prompted the
committee who had charge of the enter
tainmeLt, to repeat it at so early a
date, was to give those holding tickets
from the previous entertainment an op.
portnnity of witnessing it.
1t was supposed that but few tick
cts would be sold at the door, but con .
trary to general expectation, the re.
ceipts Of the evening were most salts.
factory, and fell but little short of any
of the previous entertainments held in
the room. That the audience was
pleased; cannot be questioned, as their
appreciation was shown by the hearty
applause which was given those taking
part In the entertainment Several of
the pieces given at Odd Fellows Hall,
were repeated by request, aside from
this there were several new and pleas
ing features added to the programme.
II. W. Morrow ably presided during
the evening.
Mr.. John McAvania, who is ever
ready to do the association a good turn,
sang several of his happy songs during
the evening, and at each appearance
he was rapturously encored, and for
while it seemed as fit was the wish of
the audience that no one else should
appear--so well pleased and gratifed
they We're. A young master Lamplugh
though but mere lad, sang in style
and manner, several Irish songs that
completely captivated the audience SO
perfectly were they rendered.
The Misses Christy and Mahan very
prettily sang a duett, entitled "The
Rover's Grave" We have not space to
give in detail the entire programme,
suffice 1t to say each one taking part
did justice to themselves and to the
association. The Quaker song by Mrs.
Donnelly and Mr.. Roberts was one of
the main features of the evening, and
was heartily enjoyed.
These entertainments, while they are
designed in part to raise funds with
which to furnish the room of the asso-
citation, serves also another purpose.
They are intended to entics young men
from drinking saloons, and thus make
them more susceptible to the influence
Of the association. 1t has succeeded in
The past, and if at times there should
appear at there entertainments things

MARTINS FERRY.

Democratic MccIing-G0o. II. PendIeton
Speaks.
MARTINS FERRY, October 8.
Editors tntellgsneGr:
The George II, Pendleton meeting, in
Commercial Hall last night, was very good
as to numbers, the hall being well filled at
an early hour by Republicans, who were
anxious to hear the distinguished Demo.
cratic Senator Of Ohio on the political
issues Of the canvass, SO that some OF the
Democrats complained that room had not
been left for them.
The Senator's speech, which was about
contraction Of the currency, demonetiza.
ton Of the silver dollar, greenbacks grad!
ually substituted for national bank notes,
bayonets at the polls, and the United
States election laws, was about as
stereotyped, old and thread.bare as an or.
binary funeral sermon over an unknown
corpse, and it fell with about the same
effect upon the minds oil his intelligent
audience. The people came out OF the
hall laughing at the folly and demagogue.
ry Of the poor old man who had attempt
cd 10 outrage common sense by CLOSING
1t over with s0phlstry and tricks Of logic,
the detunCt issues which the Democratic
party in Ohio are now attempting to re.
surreCt; and probably the few Democrats
who were present were wondering why
there was not more enthusiasm mani.
tested.
The flaming posters which advertised
the Senators coming "vote rs you shot,"
which motto seemed somewhat ambigu-
Gus to the average Democrat, was inter.
preted satisfactorily by our boys in blue
to mean, "vote for Vallandingham and
shoot for Canada" 1t seems that the Re.
publicans have got religion, for they are
the happiest set Of fellows you every did
see, and they are are around now trying
to convert every Democrat who is not past
redemption.
Mr.. John Conwell, the Democratic can.
dictate for the State Senate OF this district,
was in town to-day, looking after his in.
terest, and he got but very little enCour-
agenent here. He found no one here to
show him around, but wandered over the
wv ~ 40 OA4C WIZ was IA VI bUulGs
thing lost. Finally he found.One OF the
faithful to whom he made known the OBJ
iect OF his trip, and said he would like to
visit some Of the shops about the town,
but the faithful told him that everybody
was so busy now that he would advise
him not to SEQ anyone who was at work.
So the last that was seen OF him he was
on his road to Bridgeport, where for the
sake Of good manners, il for nothing else,
he will be received more kindly.
Mr.. Daniel Vennum goes to Pittsburgh
to-day on business connected with the
Amalgamated Iron Association.
Mr.. VIM. Lupton, D. Park and J. Eagle
son took in the Cincinnati excursion trip
The East Ohio Conference has very
kindly returned Rev. S. Y. Kennedy to
this place for another year, for which we
arc very thankful.
Mr.. Ben Chase, OF the Masonic Review, of
Cincinnati, is around among old friends
here, but stops at the Stamm in your city.
