the late census, the United States

thirds of the worsted dress goods
four-fifths of all the wool our country
needs, and more than four-fifths of
all the wooden fabrics. Not one

4th and 9th inst, near Morgans-

A fearful snow storm prevailed
the first day, but the people came
out. Rev. r. Wood, is pastor, and
reported "a accessions to the church.
There are some people here who
think the State has no authority to
say that Rum shall not be made or
sold as a beverage anywhere in its
territory, and if a prohibitory law
is passed, it would be uaconstitutioa-
al. These people would be angry
if charged with being in favor Of
whisky, but just under the skin,
that is what they mean.
On Sunday night four young men
asked the prayers of the church.

heard Of man in this ''sec-
ton" who is the prince of econo-
mists. On one occasion his wife
needed "darning" needle. He
had the money but did not want to
spend it, and so he waited more
than half day for a hen to clay"
fssn egg with which to pay for the
needle. Some time in the afternoon
the happy fact was announced by
the hen that the egg was ready.
With this in his pocket he walk
ed five miles to town, exchanged
the egg for the needle and walked
back home.
This same man borrowed Il gal
lon of salt of a neighbor, and when
ready to return it sent his son near
ly two miles to borrow a pair of
scales and weighed it sixteen
times so as to make sure he was not
paying back" one grain more than
he had borrowed.
Many people here seem to be ut
terly ignorant as to our temperance
work. have been forced to the
conclusion that the preachers of
"these parts" have said nothing on
the subject. But the people know
more about it now than they did a
week ago.
If the friends of prohibition
would raise a fund with which to
pay the travelling expenses of some
one who would go into these rural
districts and discuss this great ques-
ton before the people much good
would be the result
AS matters now stand this must
be done. Let there be found in the
State one hundred men who will
give five dollars each for this pur-
pose, and the work can be done.

The meeting at the M. P. Church
closed on Wednesday night, result
ing in fifteen accessions to the
church. We think we speak the
sentiment Of our entire Church
when we say we were sorry to know
we had twenty men in the Legisla-
ture of West Virginia who opposed
the submission Of the prohibition
amendment. Now let these men
be marked as the mark was put
upon Cain, and let us Danish them
from office and elect such men as
will sympathize with suffering hu-
mainly and respect the prayers of
their constituents.
