There has been little II any news the
past week or ten days. The annual tenn
perance campaign was begun on Tuesday
evening at the Court House, S. S. Quest,
President, aud ]. B. somerville, Secretary.
An executive committee was appointed,
also committee to solicit funds 10 carry
on the campaign. A meeting was ap.
pointed for Saturday evening, at the Court
House, to nominate temperance men lor
Council and the several official positions.
Election first Thursday in April.
A meeting was announced for next
Tuesday evening at the Presbyterian
Church, when it is expected that there
will be some speechifying to arouse the
people to a necessity for earnest work
during the campaign. There Is one mis-.
take, In the opinion Of your correspondent,
that the temperance people here make,
and that is, each spring q revival OF the
temperance question is begun, which is
all right and proper. But after the cleo
ton, then the work comes, until another
twelvemonth rolls around. Have yol
anything better TO suggest" says one,
"those who desire reform ought TO beable
TO introduce something as substitute to
that which Isl" We answer: There ought
10 be permanent temperance organlza-
tion, organized to work; meetings should
be held ut least once each month. Funds
ought to and could be raised to carry on
the work, secure choice literature and dis
tribute it among all the people, and get
them educated up to the necessity Of the
promotion OF the cause Of temperance. II
success is desired it will require constant
work. The temperance organizations ofthe
city OF Wheeling with their fidelity and
industry in the cause should be an exam
Pile and incentive tn people everywhere.

We imagine how Col. Milton Wells, OF
the Writ county Monitor, made the woods
ring with his voice in his appeal TO Divine
Grace in behalf OF those outlandish Red
Men, who hailed him on the wayside and
demanded him to offer up prayer for
them. Whether the Slate Journal Is cor
rect in this statement in regard 10 the
colonel or not We do not know, but we do
know that il the reds make demand OF
that kind on him that he will notfail to ac-
comodale them, and be will lay 1t on in
style that will not be forgotten by the
listeners very soon. They will find that
the colonel will not finch from that duty.
