We hope the Camp Meeting will

Ok Friday last Clarence Watson
ami James Mccoy, of this place, con
cluded to take French leave of their
native county, and seek their fortunes
in the West. Accordingly they pro-
ceeded without the knowledge or con-
sent of either of their parents.to Par
kersburg and from thence to Cincin-
natl. There Is no telling how far
they intended to go westward, but
they were detained in the latter city
by the authorities upon q telegram
requesting such detention. The re-
suit is the two boys will be home
again in day or two. Such clan
destine behavior is becoming too
common thing in this community
and ought to be met by some very
decided measure on the part of par
ents. We also suggest q prohibition
of some of the Jack Harkaway liter
allure of the day.-Iadee.
