West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-11-08


of course it were but proper modes
ty to allow that the fault be laid to
the FREEMAN's wonted perverse-
ness; and while we're in modesty's
way we want to remark, (modest-
ly) that we have ardently admired
the independent way the Intelti-
gencer has had of wearing its West
Virginia Sovereignty However,
the women, (and who'll dare ques-
ton their taste) will agree with us
in saying that its Sovereignty
would be vastly improved if orna-
mented with the temperance blue
ribbon and flying the battle flag of
Prohibition.
We also tw ice tried to distinguish
ourself by gentting into the pres
ence of Mr.. Baker of the Register,
but fate would have it SO that when
we were in, he was out.
This, however, only reminded us
afresh of how universally unhandy
it is, that editors can't exist in du-
plicate, so that while one of him
self is out keeping the world in its
place, the other can sit in his sane
tum and tell callers how It's done.
CoLoRADo's Misunderstanding
on Major j. c. Anderson, in his pal
ace Insurance Rooms, opposite the
Mcclure House, we were at once
transported to the altitudinous,
health-giving atmosphere of Color
ado, where the genial Major and
wife had just returned from q trip
for health. Mr.. Anderson urges all
ESTIMATES and sufferers from kin
bred troubles to HE themselves at
once to the pure air in the lofty re-
gions of Pixies Peak
In September with Mrs. Alder
son as an intense sufferer from
asthma, unable to lie down or
sleep, he went to Colorado Springs
where immediate relief was found,
and whence, after few weeks, they
return perfectly free from the trou-
BILE.
Having attended the recent
grand Mineral Exposition at Den
yer, the Major came home more
than cnthatsed with the wonderful
resources of that wonderful coun.
try.
We greatly admired the rare col.
lection of specimens, brought back
with him, and which he is pleased
to show to his friends who call eli
ther for business or pleasure at his
office.
STATE HEADoUARTERs.-His Elk
cellency, the Governor, arrived from
Parkersburg on Wednesday, and
with Mrs. Jackson was at once al
together at home at the New Nc
Lure House.
EAGER FOR THE FRAY.-While
enjoying the fraternal hosp;tali-
ties of our brother, Judge Okey
johnson, on the Island, we
honored ourself in a pleasant call
at the home of Rev. e. w. Ryan
Presiding Elder, ,of Wheeling dis
trict, M. E. Church. We were
cheered to finG the eminent leader in
church and temperance work, chat
ing lin spirit at the iniquities of the
liquor traffic and eager for the
fray when it shall be a hand tc
hand battle between all the good
people of our State and this arch
enemy of the Church and oul
! homes.
COME OVER AND HELP U.s.
This is the message that came te
our eloquent friend, Hon. e. G
Cracraft while in his office. The
calls, which have been urgent ano
frequent of late, were from Greene
county, Pennsylvania, where the
temperance fight has been a hano
to hand struggle during the late
campaign.
Mr.. Cracraft is alive to the com
ing battle in our own State, anc
will be found at the front.
CHEER-We met many Other
friends and heard many words O
cheer Of which we cannot now
speak but they are remembered.
