The Coming Convention.

We cannot urge too strongly the
Importance of immediate action be-
ing taken in every county, district,
city, town and community, to APP
point delegates to the State Tenn
perance Convention, which will
meot in Wheeling on the 2Sth Of
June next. Now is the time for
the people to move in the matter
There ought to be a meeting held
at once, in every community in the
State, and then and there delegates
should be appointed to this Con-
vention, or steps taken looking to
County Convention being organ
lied, to select delegates for the
county, and to effect county Or
ganization. The State Convention
ought to be such meeting as will
be heard of, and talked about,
throughout the State for the next
year. Let the friends of Temper
ance in every county see to it that
they are represented. Reduced
rates of travel will doubtless be Sc
secured, and the remotest counties
ought to be represented. 1t will
be one of the most important meet
ings ever held in the State. Upon
its success or failure may depend
the success or failure of our cause
in West Virginia for years to come.
While States North and South are
rising up in their might and de-
manding to be free from the curse
of the legalized drink-trafic-while
beer congresses and liquor associa-
tions all over the country are be-
coming alarmed, and are resolving
to vote for no man who is opposed
to their business, let not the people
of West Virginia be still, but let
us arise now and demand of the
Legislature next winter the right
to vote for freedom.

The Temperance Rally at Briscoe
The First Delegation to the State Tenn
Ierance Convention.
BRIscoE CHURCH, May 10.

In response to announcements
and call made through the
West Virginia FREEMAN, Briscoe
Church was well filled, largely by
the young men and young ladies Of
the neighborhood.
Mr.. S. S. Spencer was elected
Chairman of the meeting, with |.
Fl. johnson secretary.
After singing by the young
friends from Parkersburg, with 9th
cr singers present, and prayer by
Rev. j. w. Carter, the Chairman
offered a few remarks introducing
in order the speakers of the evening,
Rev. Mr.. Carter and Mr.. c. I. Cald-
well, OF Parkersburg, who delivered
earnest, stirring addresses, of 80 or
40 minutes each.
After the addresses the follow
ing named gentlemen were, on mo-
ton, elected as delegates to the
State Temperance Convention to
be held at Wheeling, June 2ott,
1881: S. S. Spencer, VIM. john
son, Jr., William johnson, (son of
joshua, Rev, Jordon Hall, and
John T. Johnson.
After some earnest words OF con-
graduation upon the presence OF
SO many of the young men of the
neighborhood, and of exhortation
most kindly and appropriately
spoken, by the Chairman, the meet
ing closed with the singing of the
doxology. |. II. JOHNSON,
Secretary.
This first meeting of the cam
paign held in Wood county, was a
decided success, and will have good
and lasting results in that neigh
borhood.
The addresses were not set
speeches, but a great deal better;
they were earnest, spicy, practical
temperance talks, holding the atten-
ton and the hearts of the youthful
audience throughout, and fixing in
the minds of every one the great
work of the year before US, that of
arousing, rallying and solidifying
every element oftemperance senti-
ment in every neighborhood, and
of hurting upon our Legislature
next winter such a solid avalanche
of public opinion as will compel re-
spect for the peoples rights and
wishes in their demand for prohi-
bition.
Many of the young folks were
sorely disappointed in not having
the instrumental music that had
been promised them, and if they
were a little vexed, we don't blame
them one bit, but they didn't stay
much mad when we told them that
the leaders, both of the singers and
Of the instruments, were prevented
by illness from attending, and it
was too late to find others not pre-
viously engaged.
Of the expected company only
Mr.. Cook Devol and sister and Mr..
Walter Leese and sister, went out
with the speakers, and added their
voices to the success of the meeting
and enjoyed splendid moonlight
drive.

effected, and measures taken to
have complete survey Of the en-
tire route made at an early day.
The object of the company is to
build a road, which shall be the
connecting link between the Ohio
and West Virginia and the Rich
mond and Allegheny roads, which
latter road is being rapidly con
structed from Richmond, Virginia
up the valley of the James river to
Willlamson's, on the Chesapeake

The proposed route of the new
road is, generally, from a point on
the Richmond d Allegheny, near
Buckhannon, toa point onNew river
twenty or thirty miles above Hin
ton, down New river to its mouth,
where it will cross the Kanawha
river to the North side, and thence
down the Kanawha river, through
Charleston, to Point Pleasant.
We learn that ninety-six imml-

DIRT.
Parkersburg Dirt.
Clean Dirt rs. Dirty Dirt.

tempt to preach or write on some
thing one knows nothing about ;
but we hatter ourself to be some
what at home on the dirt question
hence our text.
Dirt is a very familiar matter
with a great many people, and yet
little understood by many. There
are two distinct and opposite kinds
of dirt, clean dirt and dirty dirt,
and the great trouble is, that both
individuals and communities fail
to distinguish between the two, and
thereby incur immense damage,
sickness and death. There is moth
ing more clean, pure and wholesome
than the dirt of the earth. The
clean sand in the sand-bank, or
pulverized soil of the corn-field, is
as pure and wholesome as very
health itself, and we don't care
how much our boys roll and tumble
about in it, SO that It be not allow
to remain on them till, becoming
mixed with perspiration and other
foreign elements, it becomes dirty
dirt and unhealthy. Indeed dry
earth is the very best deodorizer and
barricade against all decaying mat
ter and noxious offenses, insomuch
that a thin covering of soil over an
army of dead and decaying men
and horses, will preserve the atmos-
phere above pure and wholesome,
But it is dirty dirt Of which we
wish to speak, particularly; and
there are oceans of it abroad in the
land. Oceans on land may sound
paradoxical, but it is literally true
that there is filth enough spread
about in the streets and cutters and
alleys and back lots throughout the
cities of our country to make oceans,
whose waves of deadly malaria roll
ever on, swallowing up victims by
the scores and hundreds, and whose
sudden storms Of fearful epidemics
ever and anon burst upon cities and
communities, sweeping thousands
to destruction.
1t is simply a question of which
sort of dirt shall be on top, the clean
or filthy, and health or disease pre-
vail accordingly.
Throughout the South for several
years dirty dirt was king and reign
ed in filth in many cities and
towns, bringing plaques Of yellow
and other malarial fevers, which
prevailed as terrible epidemics
throughout two seasons. The sur
viving people rallied and covered
up their filthy dirt with pure fresh
soil, and health spread her balmy
wings over the land again. All
Spring there has been a very panic
in New York City over threatened
| destruction imminent through the
filthy reign of the dirt king in that
city; and happy will it be for the
city, if the people in their alarm
have the intelligence and decision
to seize spade and shovel and cart,
and bury the woe-breeding tyrant
under a wholesome stratum of
earth's virgin soil.
And in our anxiety for New York
and other cities, let US not forget to
take care Of ourselves.
There are, right here in the city
of Parkersburg, if not oceans, at
least ponds and canals and little
lakes of foul, evaporating COM
pounds, whose exhalations ofmala-
ria are telling fearfully upon the
health of the people every day. Let
the ponds be drained, the alleysand
cutters be cleaned, and the green
