West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-11-08
Wheeling Trip Notes.
Temperance IN the Temporary Seat.

While circulating in our Capital
City of nails and beer, for day or
two last week, on FREEMAN bust
ness, we found much to interest the
friends of temperance and prohibi
ton, as well as other folks.
There is lively, vigorous tenn
perance sentiment there that will
not "down" at the dictation and in
science of the beer oligarchy.
Springing from principle, and love
for ones neighbor, as it does, this
imperishable sentiment lives and
will gloriously prevail after awhile.
The Parkers' Hall Sunday meet
ings, led by Miss Taylor, of the Fee
male College, are kept up with in
creased attendance and interest, the
North Wheeling organization is at
work, and brave temperance lead
ers with the good women and the
ministers of the city are busily at
work mining and fortifying for a
vigorous siege against this strong
hold of treason against the peace
and safety of West Virginia homes.
On Friday evening special
meeting of the friends of the cause
was held for consultation, while at
the same time the Devil was organ
izsng an alleged protective Asso-
ciation," to defend "his own"
against the right and justice; and
SO comes on the "tug of war"
Let the friends of temperance
throughout the State take courage
and be stronger in the assurance
that strong men and women, many
and true, are faithfully battling
with the unreasonable foe, right
here in his headquarters, and hope
fully calling to you in all the coun-
try districts, for support and help.
Let your shouts of recognition
echo from hilltop to hilltop, and
let the command, sharp and quick,
run down the temperance lines
from district to district "Close up!
Foraoardi ! CHARGE p
PRoDUcE.-We found our friends
Diehl y Kober tumbling barrels
and boxes of fruit and produce
about at most lively rate. They
are doing a fine business III apples,
which go off readily at good prices.
Shippers to Wheeling cannot dc
better than to have this reliable
firm handle their stuff
WHERE TO Go.-When oul
friends visit Wheeling, either for
business or pleasure, they should
not fail to visit the noted II, 10C
and 10, Main Street.
Knowing Mr.. Ed. Larkin well,
these many years, we of course were
especially interested in looking
through his extensive establish
ment, and noting his full and va
ried stocks of Dry Goods, Notions.
Carpets, &C., &c.
The wonderful, success of this
house in building up it's splendid
business should certainly be taken
as sufficient proof that customers
find it a most desirable place where
to 60 and buy.
WHERE TO DINE.-At the Capt.
tai Dining Rooms, on Market Street,
Of course. Here, one can drop in
whenever hungry and get capital
stew, or regular dinner of fish
flesh, or fowl, with all the vegeta-
bles of the season thrown in for the
price of lunch and then it is al
ways as quiet and orderly as any
well ordered home with no bad
babies in it, where one can eat and
rest and rest and eat with the ut
most convenience, comfort and con
ISOLATION. Mr.Thornton has long since
become zone of the permanent fix
lures of Wheeling. and were it pos
sible that we should be in the Nail
City thousand years hence, we'd
be sure to 90 straight to the Capital
Dining Rooms for a stew, the first
