4 Lesson For Temperance Workers.

A Lesson FOR Temperance workers.
Another saloon-keeper of Jeffer
sonville, Ind, died and was buried
last Sunday, making the nine
teenth since 1872, and the move
mento of the Woman's Crusade there,
when the temperance women pray
ed and pleaded for saloonists to
stop their terrible traffic But two
of the good women have passed
away meanwhile.-Signal.
Surely here is a lesson, sad in
deed i'll one aspect, but full of en-
enlargement to the good women Of
our city and every other city where
good people are organizing against
the enemy of their homes. While
neneteen liquor-sellers have fallen
victims to their own wicked war
fare against humanity, only two
of the noble defenders Of Home
have laid down their arms as vic
tors in the strife for everyone that
fights for God and Home is a vic
tor, no matter when, where or how
the comrade falls.
But we need not go to city of
Indiana for such illustration. Look
back a few years over the battle
field here at home. Note the killed
and wounded, diseased and dying
on the side of the liquor traffic, and
then call the honored roll of the
faithful Temperance Workers, and
mark where the loss is greatest.
"Dead' -"dead'--"d ead" miss
ing"-''in the hospital" is answer
ed of scores from the confused ranks
Of the enemy, while only now and
then comes from the happy ranks
of Homes defenders" Honorably
discharged" and gone to the "Sol-
dier's Home above
Surely here is premium, bounty,
and reward enough to induce every
true man and woman to join the
Temperance Army at once and for
life, or during the warp

What Saith The Register!

"West Virginia will now proceed
TO get herself excited on prohibit
ton. y Washington Post.
Not bit of it. The proposition
in West Virginia is simply to put
prohibition in the Constitution.
It is there now-needing only the
action of the Legislature to enforce
it. There can be no objection to
putting it there "two times" un-
less as a matter of good sense and
propriety. Nobody will take spec
ial pains to oppose it. Nobody will
get excited. The majority Of our
people are, we think, in favor OF
prohibition, but "agin' its enforce
ment." p Wheeling Register.
Then, as there can be no obJec-
ton to putting good thing, that
a majority of our people are in ia
vor of, into the Constitution, what
saith the Register? Will it favor a
graceful yielding to the well-ma-
tured Judgment of the people as to
the "good sense" and propriety OF
putting it there, two times" by
urging the submission of the pro-
posed Amendment?

How Does He Sleep!
WoUldnt be IN His shoes for Summers
County.

We extract the following from a
Hinton letter, inclosing 81 with a
subscribers name:
whisky flows here now, since
licenses are granted. That Com
missioner who had stood with Judge
Hinton against license, was by
some means carried over and in
duced to commit himself to the
liquor men, just on the eve ofthe
last election.
He processes to be a Christian
and | would like to know how his
slumbers are these long nights. l
would not be in his shoes for Sum
mers county"
We are not surprised at this sad
news. We heard of this infamous
sell-out, while at Hinton at the
General Association. All the good
people Of Hinton and vicinity were
then trembling in dread terror of
the fruits of the most impious bar
gain.
A candidates success was assured
~ the liquor men in consideration
that the Commissioner, then hold
ing the balance Of power, should
open the Aood-gates Of the iniqui-
tous traffic upon the innocent PEG
pie Of Summers county, and a pro

HOnOred Old Age!
another Death an the Cochran Family.

We copy below notice of the
death of another Of the honored
and remarkably long-lived mem
bers of the Cochran family, so
prominent and well-known among
the early settlers in the Long
Reach vicinity. One by one these
aged brothers, after passing their
"three score and ten," and some Of
them reaching almost a century,
have quietly passed away, henored
and revered by all who knew them.
But a few years ago, Thomas Coch-
ran, of Cochransville, died, and
soon after, Zachariah, Of Grand
View, next James, and now, Will
liam Joins his brothers who lon 9
toiled with him, and only retired
to rest u little before him.
AS we now remember, this leaves
but one member of this numerous
family of brothers and sisters, and
that the youngest-Friend Coch-
ran, of Willow Island, who is now
nearing his four score years.
Our heart goes out in sympathy
with the friends in this bereave-
ment, for it is a peculiar bereave-
ment to lose these long-loved cen
ters of all homes blessedness.
And especially does our heart
ache with our dear friend 7. ],
Cochran, who was already weighed
down under his own home-sorrows,
and whose habit it had been for
years to come hundreds Of miles, AN
nually to honor his dear old father
with a yearly home visit.
go, think of the home over there"
But here's the notice from the
Wetzel Democrat:
DIED.-William Cochran, a well
known citizen of this county, died
at his home on the 10th inst
Though within the past six years
he was a man Of more than ordina-
ry vigor, lately he has been a help
less invalid, and his death was not
unexpected. He was born on
Short creek, Ohio county, in the
year 1874, near the spot where his
grandfather was killed by the In
dians. His father, Thomas Coch
ran, removed about the year 1900
to Long Reach, Tyler county
where the deceased grew to man
hood. After his marriage with
Fannie Williams, more than fifty
years ago, he removed first tt
Woodsfeld and afterwards to Clar
ington Ohio, where his own family
were reared. For the past si1
years he has resided in this coun
try. He was man Of great indus
try and the strictest honesty anC
. accumulated considerable property
He died member Of the Methods
Church and at peace with all tn
world. He was buried in the Viii
liams grave yard on Sunday last

Mrs. "Echo," Go On With Your
busting.

Some days ago the Mrs. Editor
of the Mountain Echo, was doing
some editorial busting IN her MOD
est way, when by chance she casu-
ally brushed against the sore Hgde
of the il.-humored Piedmont DIS
patch, whereupon it growled, snarI-
ed and snapped and made a brutal
assault on the fair proprietor OF
the Echo.
AS matter of coarse all the gal
liant editors of the State came sail
ing out with their sticks and drove
the ugly Dispatch back into its
kennel, and now it howleth at US
all, after this fashion: Owe quote
sparingly, of course:
"The Wheeling htelligencer, un-
der the management Of a Philadel-
phia crank by the name OF Hart,
who, according to the report of the
Wheeling Saturday Evening Jour-
nal, "parts his hair and his brains
in the middle" is rapidly falling
below public notice"
Again:
"The misshappen illegitimate,
who edits the Kingwood Journal
has a few words for us this week,
&c, &c."-(and so on for vile guam
tity).
Again:
"Beggar Morris, President of the
West Virginia Press Association,
announces a meeting of that body
on the Goth inst, at Huntington.
We can add, with truthfulness,
that the Association, as now run,
is a Republican institution from A
to T."
And Again-and with this we
stop:
1.-THE West Virginia FREEMAN, a
pretended temperance paper pub
lished at Parkersburg, is one of the
worst receptions Of the age. 1t is
one of the most indecent, dishonest
and most polluted Republican ma
chimes in the Union. Any Of our
Democratic friends who wish a
moral, temperance paper, and sub
scribe for the FREEMAN thinking
they will get it will be cheated and
deceived. We advise our readers
to let the vile deception alone"
And so now, Mrs. Echo, since we
have Spatch cornered and busted
barking at US ugly men-editors,
you can just go on with your edi-
torial busting.
