Grand Lodge Session.

The West Virginia Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows met at Masonic
Hall in this city, on Tuesday last.
Much business pertaining to the
order was transacted, and many in
teresting points were discussed and
settled. The sessions were interest
ing, and the parade on Wednesday
was imposing, and attracted to
Charleston many outsiders from
the county and along the railroad.
In the procession the Kanawha
Military Institute cadets elected
most attention. The Fire Compa-
ny and the Gallipolis Band were
also in the line Of march. Judge
R. S. Brown, of Ravenswood, de-
livered the address at the NJ. E.
church, South At night a ban
quet was held at the St. Albert Ho-
tel. on Kanawha street.
The next annual session of the
Grand Lodge will convene at
Wheeling. The officers chosen for
the ensuing year are: Phineas Ga
no, of Doddridge, Grand Master;
A. F. Lang, of Parkersburg, Depu-
ty Grand Master; Owen S. McKin-
ney, of Fairmont, Grand Warden;
Thos. G. Steele, of Grafton, Grand
Secretary; Henry Seamon, of
Wheeling, Grand Treasurer; and J.
T. Hoke, Grand representative
State Tribune.

Church Matters.

REMARKABLE Co1NcIDENcE.-It
is surely remarkable coincidence
that the two Rev. J. w. Lambert's
of the M. E. Church and M. E.
Church South, who were together
at Lubbock last year, are again sent
by their respective conferences to
the same field, viz. Ravenswood.
We are happy to know that these
two good brethren get along har-
moniously together, and that the
only trouble is in getting them
selves mixed up occasionally.
CHURCH ENrERpRIsE.-Rev. F.
Adkins, Pastor of the Baptist
Church in Elvria, Ohio, spent last
Sunday and Monday In the city,
preaching on Sabbath and on Mon
day giving his friends an opportu-
nifty to help get his new church off
his shoulders. Two members of his
congregation, not members of his
church, subscribed $500 toward a
new building, provided another
$500 making SIS, 900 in all could
be raised. After the church had
done we'll and much, he is getting
the little needed help to secure the
much needed house from outside
friends, and we are glad to know of
his gratifying success in our midst
in securing many subscriptions of
SO and SIS and less amounts. This
sort of cheerful and wide-reaching
giving never makes a Christian
any the poorer.

An Explanation.

ED. FREEMAN.-In your paper
of October %, was a communica-
ton from me headed, can Indig-
nant Brother Speaks" and signed,
"a Wood County Voter" that
seems to require an explanation.
First of all, nothing was farther
from my intention than in any
way to reflect upon or injure the
M. E. Church ; for l have the very
greatest of respect for the church,
Neither do | want any innocent
locality to rest under the imputa-
ton of being the scene Of the Incl
dent narrated in my letter.
The facts mentioned | reiterate
and maintain with the following
words of explanation;
The unhappy occurrence took
place at Bellevllle, in Wood coun-
ty.
The parties who participated in
the same are members of the M. E.
Church. or were so very lately, but
in the fullest sense of the word are
not prominent" members, as they
held no official position therein.
Neither are they members Of the
church at Belleville.

That's Business.

We mean the shape our railroad
enterprise has now assumed. We
are assured that the money is now
ready to be planked down, and that
Mr.. Camden and others have en-
tered into an agreement to furnish
the means and let the contracts for
the work on the road from Parkers-
burg to Wheeling within sixty
days, if the right of way be COM
pleted or guaranteed in that time.
Proceedings to condemn the
rights not yet secured, will be in
stituted and pressed at once, and
everything now looks business. So
mote it be, and let everybody take
hold with liberal and generous
hands.

Our Golden Wedding.
WINFIELD. w. Va.

DEAR FREEMAN: Many thanks
for your ''heartiest cheer to the
happy COUPLE" myself and wife, ON
the occasion of our golden acedding.
The day, October 18th, was itself
golden" as in sympathy with the
occasion, and just as it was fifty
years before, when Summer had
melted away into rich, and bright,
and joyous Autumn, and not a
cloud to obscure the sky.
Rev. Lyman Whiting, of Charles
ton. was present to conduct the re-
ligious exercises, and to address the
Young couple, asking the husband
if he was satisfied with the "pearl, /"
(Margaret means pearl) which he
possessed. And then, turning to
the wife, he asked if the husband
had been Loyal to her. These
questions were responded to in the
Affirmative; and the union was al
lowed to continue. Then came the
presentation of gifts by the people
of Parkersburg, Winfield, Point
Pleasant, Pleasant Flats, Butler,
Pa, and friends in West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, and several other
places in the United States, with a
presentation address by Col. Jas. l..
Mclean.
After this the company partook
of repast, prepared for the occa-
sion, and the congratulatory letters
were read from many absent
friends, A perfect shower of gold
fell upon the happy couple,
amounting to more than 5000, in
pieces ranging from one dollar to
twenty dollars in value. These
with a gold-headed cane, and gold
brooch from Colonel and Mrs.
Mclean; gold spcctacles, one for
the husband and one fol- the wife,
from two of their sons, checks and
other money, a nugget of gold from
Alaska, and other gifts, amounting
to $500. Such munif1cence took us
entirely by surprise. The gifts
were most valuable in themselves,
but especially SO as showing the
love of former and present esteemed
parishioners and other friends.
Gratefully do we here acknowl-
edge them and may the gifts and
gratulations bestowed return to the
givers in heavenly benedictions.
Two sons from Pennsylvania,
Terrence r. Young and Henry K.
Young, failed to arrive till two
hours after the festivities, much to
their own regret and the regret Of
the company present, and especial.
ly of their parents and sister.
What is cause for the most lively
gratitude to God, is, no death has
ever occurred in this family of ten,
parents and children. Every mem
Der Of the family is a member of the
Church and a total abstainer from
intoxicating drinks.
In my own behalf and that Of
my wife, / take this occasion to re-
turn thanks to the good people Of
Parkersburg, who have been SO
generous and who have expressed
their generosity in SO delicate a
way. We receive the greetings OF
the FREEMAN with greet pleasure.
LOYAL YOUNG.

Personal.

his EXcellency, Governor jack
son leaves his Parkersburg home to-
day with his family, to reside for
the winter in the capital city.
1t was manifest on all sides that
our people generally fell in love
with Rev. Father Heffner, of Balti-
more, while in attendance at the
recent Preachers Association. We
are free to say, no wonder; with as
it was clear case of love at first
sight; and how else could it be
when the whole portly form of this
genial friend of humanity, with
his honored crown of shining, sill
very hairs, is instinct and COM
pact with vigorous and outgush-
ing goodness that shines like u
spring morning, out of every feat
ure of the man.
We greatly enjoyed our brief ac-
quaintance with an ardent Tenn
perance advocate, Mr.. Stephen Moor
mon, of Winchester, Indiana, who
came all the way here with fee
bic minister who desired to attend
the meeting of the Preachers Asso-
citation. Mr.. Mormon gave us a
lively incite to vigorous battle in
the Hoosier State for the submits
sion of the prohibitory amendment
and as an earnest of the breadth
of his interest in the Tenn
perance work, had the FREE
MAN sent him as regular subscri-
Der.
Col. B. f. Byrne, the new Sena-
tor from the Charleston district,
was in the city last Saturday.
On the question of the amend
ment, Col. Byrne thinks there is
no doubt but that it will be sub
mitted to the people by the next
Legislature.
Mr. William A. woodward of
Spencer, Roane county, also Sena-
tor elect, was, in like manner circu-
lating among Parkersburg friends
on Saturday. He too, thinks the
amendment will be submitted al
most without opposition.
Col. VIM. Thompson, now of
Cleveland, has been smiling among
old Parkersburg acquaintance fer
several days past.
Rev. F. Atkins, Of Elyria, Ohio,
preached an excellent sermon in the
Baptist church of this city, last
Sunday morning from the text, II
seek not yours, but you" We
greatly enjoyed the sermon and we
may here add that we have always
had a special liking for our old
friend and classmate, Frank, since

The plan now is for those going
to Hinton by way Of Parkersburg
to leave Parkersburg Wednesday
morning by rail, at 7 Is and go to
Gallipolis: thence by boat, arriv-
ing at Huntington, Wednesday
evening. Thence by c. & O. Road
to Hinton. A reduction of one
third fare has been secured over c..
& o. Road, and we are confident a
like reduction will be Civ
en- between Parkersburg and Gal
lipolis. This will make the fare
for round trip about $3.50.

The Messrs Deane announce their
purchase of the Gilmaerite and say,
"Our highest aim and noblest pur-
pose shall be to battle manfully for
the good of the county"
According to this, of course the
Gilmerite must henceforth battle
for Prohibition in West Virginia
and all the counties thereof.
ALLIANCE NEws.-One of the
most gratifying evidences of pro-

liquor traffic is the rapidly spring

these that come to us is the ALI
