Sabbath School Institute

Mr.. EDITORIALS most of your read
ers are interested in Sabbath School
work, thought short sketch of the
Institute held at West Brooklyn church,
Warnock's, on the 4th inst, might not
be uninteresting.
The Institute opened at 10 a. H., and
after devotional exercises and an OPEN
ing address by w. II. Barr, the first topic
on the programme was taken up Duties
of parents to the Sabbath School" The
discussion was opened by Mr.. Joseph
Boggs, followed by W. II. Barr, Rev. W.
). Moffat, and Rev. j. Moore. After the
reading of selection by Lizzie Boggs,
and singing, the Institute adjourned for
dinner.
The first topic for the afternoon ses-
sion was opened by the Rev. r.
Alexander, How can we make Sabbath
Schools more attractiye?" 1t was dis
cussed at length by the Rev. w. S. Mof-
fat, Mr. WIN. Alexander of Bridgeport,
the Rev. j. Moore, and Rev. Jas. Day.
An essay was then read by Miss Mary
Dennis, and a selection by Miss Leona
Myers. After singing the next topic was
opened by the Rev. w. S. Moffat,
"Should parents compel their children to
attend Sabbath School 2" discussed by
the Rev. Alexander, Rev. Moore, Mr..
VIM. Alexander, and Mr.. Joseph Boggs.
After singing the question box was
opened and various questions answered.
AT the night session the 4th topic was
opened by Mr.. VIM. Alexander, "Should
have power to install
and remove Teachers =" discussed by
Rev. w. s. Moffat and others. The next
thing in order was two selections
spoken by Miss Lizzie POrterfeId and
Miss Jennie Barr The last topic, "How
can Sabbath School work be made most
effective?" was opened by Rev. James
Day, followed by Mr.. Alexander The
question box was again served up, and
after being dissected and discussed, ad-
journment was in order.
We give you merely an outline. The
attendance was good and great deal of
interest was manifested in the good or
der and close attention of the audience
The discussions were interesting, lively
and instructive. The music was good,
the selections being made from the COM
bined Gospel Hymns. We had but one
essay, but it was a success. The selec-
tions were we'll rendered. This is the
first attempt at running a winter school
at Brooklyn, and although the school is
not as large as in the summer, the at

THE Srow fall throughout the north
west during the present winter has been unpre-
cedented. Never before in the history of the
country have the ailroads west and northwest
of Chicago suffered from snow storms and snow
bloceades as they have this winter The Nil
waukee and st. Paul and Northwestern operate
over 5000 miles of road each, and it is said
more than half of this mileage has been block
ed with snow great part of the time during
the last two months. The Iowa Division of the
Illinois Central was blocked almost from one
end to the other for more than a month. For
three months these roads have battled with
snow drifts, and no sooner had thev made Ii
tie headway and gained some advantage when
another b'iZzarG set iii and undone all they haG
accomplished. The Ines had not vet been iair-
ly cleared of snow when the % boss " storm of
last Wednesday set in ana not only buried the
Wisconsin and Minnesota roads, but put con =
plete embargo on the Iowa and Northern Hi
nOis roads. in places in Wisconsin the snow
is drifted so as to nearly cover telegraph poles.
1t is estimated the railroads have expended
more than 81 100000 for clearing their tracks
of snow.

Mr.. TAZEwELL p. MARTIN, former
well-known citizen of st. Clairsville,
whose death we noted last week, was
buried here on Friday. Mr.. Martin lost
his sight about one year ago, and had
been quite deaf for some time He was
a prominent and active man in st. Glars
vile many years ago. The funeral took
place from the NJ. Z. church. After the
singing of an appropriate hymn and
prayer, Mr. Conkle, the pastor, gave the
following sketch of his life:
Tazewell p. Martin was born in Mo-
nongalia county, Virginia. (now w. Va,) }
in 1903, and died Feb. 2S. 1881, at the
residence of his son, Jos. w. Martin, in
Tazewell county, Illinois, from general
prostration; and after a lingering illness
which was borne with patience and for
titude.
Early in life he became a halter and
continued that business for some years
at New Geneva, Pa. For time he re-
sided at Greensburg, Green county, Pa
Here he kept a hotel and traded on the
river - making many fat-boat trips
sometimes as far as New Orleans. This
open-air trip doubtless gave him the
strength and elasticity that prolonged
J his days to 81 years.
He was married in 1925 in Fayette
county, Pa, to Ann d. Bailey, a cousin
of the venerable Charles H. Bailey, ot
this place. She died March 1873, al
Louisville.
In 1S43 he came with his family to st
Clairsville, and remained until lS47
keeping hotel and sending his children
to school-the eldest daughter to th'
Steubenville seminary. On his remova
from here he purchased a farm in Fay
cite county, Pa, where he remained un
til little later, when he returned t,
this county, engaging in agriculture
pursuits. But soon age overlook him
making such labor and care impossible
when he retired from such active toll.

LAST fall Patrick Costigan, living on
the Cadiz pike at the foot of the hill
north of town, backed up his political
predictions against those of David Blu :
dette, on the election of President Pat
was certain that Hancock was to be the
coming man, and David was equally
certain that Garfield would win. To
impress each other with the sincerity of
their belief they agreed that the one who
was mistaken in his diagnosis should on
the 4th day of March wheel the other on
wheelbarrew from Pats house to the
postoffice, a distance of over a mile.
Pat lest, and with true Irish grit pre-
pared to pay the wager. A barrow was
secured and trimmed out gorgeously
with American flags. Pat costumed
himself in suit of red flannel and wait
ed until 1--WE o'clock, the hour appointed
for the lucky Burdette, but he failed to
come to time. So the show didn't come
off. 1t is presumed that Burdette was
satisfied with having won, and consid.
crate enough not to impose additional
burdens upon vanquished foe.

WE are in receipt of a specimen num-

We are informed that at these Gardens
large quantities of both vegetable and

put up and sold direct to the planter, a
feature that cannot be over estimated.

wholesale and retail trade, and offers tu

The intolerable nuisance of marble
and rock singing among the boys of town
is again upon us. They not only take
possession of the sidewalks in many in
stances, but they swear, blaekguard,
pound and knock fences and walls to
pieces with their "plumpers." Boys must
have fun and amusement of some kind,
but we hope they will discard this and
all other annoying sports to th2se that
are compelled to see and hear them.
