Moundsville is perhaps as dull just at
present, II not more 50, than 1t has been
for months past. Tho almost impossible
condition of the roads keeps the country
people at home; at least they bring no
trade to town, so that now we might ray
we arc living among ourselves; and were
1t not for the fact that our County Court
is in session things would be monotonous,
indeed This body commenced its session
yesterday, Judge Alexander presiding,
and Esqrs. Bloyd and Gorley as assistants.
On last Saturday public sale was held
at the residence OF the late Elisha Lind
sey, deceased, at which quite large
amount OF personal property was sold.
On saturday, evening quite a number OF
the members OF the NJ. i. congregation
made their pastor visit, and left with
him and his good wife many tokens In the
way OF the substantials OF life. These
little things show the appreciation OF the
pastors work, and II there were many
more such It would perhaps be better for
many Of our churches.
On Tuesday evening the members oithe
Moundsville Lodge K. OF H., met at their
hall and engaged themselves in par
taking OF just such supper as the
Moundsville ladies know 90 well how to
get up. They had their wives, sisters,
cousins and sweethearts along with them,
and the enjoyment oil all seemed complete.
The ministers OF the different churches
were present, and the occasion was en-
lived by music, Miss Mamie Warden pre-.
siding at the organ,
The exercises were as follows: SCALED
to order by Dictator w. W. Evans, after
which the opening ode was sung. Rev.
Buchanan, Of the Episcopal Church, led
in an appropriate prayer; ;then lollowedthe
singing Of the ode OF welcome. After thiF,
short talks were given by number ofthe
Knights. Rev. Buchanan being called OH
for a few remarks, responded 70 the de-
light OF all present.
Died, on Monday 18th inst, at 10:30
o'clock A. NJ, OF diphtheria, Hugh, son OF
Steward Harris, aged about years. The
subject OF this notice was bright little
boy, beloved by all who knew him. How
true in this instance,as in SO many others,
Is 1t that death loves q shining mark. His
afflicted parents have our sympathies. He
was buried day before yesterday at 2
o'clock.
l know OF no other cases Of this dread
disease, and the health Of our community
is generally good.
Tho next lecture in the NJ. Z, course
will be delivered at the Court House on
Monday .evening next by +. Dcuass.
Subject: "The Buried Cities OF the Old .
World" Ills fame rs lecturer will no
doubt draw full house. The next lee.
lure In the Presbyterian course will be
delivered on next Tuesday evening by
Judge Cranmer, OF Wheeling. These will
be the fourth lectures in each course, and
our citizens arc more than satisfied thus
far. 1t was an experiment for our place,
but all that have attended them feel that
such lectures tend toward making them
better, in having higher conception OF
life.
Rev. J. NJ. Warden, OF tho Monndsville
Circuit, is still unable for work. Hiswork
Is being done by other ministers, We
hope soon to see him again at his post.
