CORRESPONDENCE.
The UniOn ASSOciatiOn-PaSt and
Present.

DE1R FREEMAN | am a Baptist
with some taste for historic studies.
1t was with feelings of surprise and
pity-surprise at the strange ac-
tioa, and pity for the strange ex-
cuse-that / learned that the I'm
ioa Association at it's recent session
kicked out the subject of Temper
aece, because it is political ques-
tion, and cannot therefore be prop
erly considered in a religious body.
Now this is fresh if not bright
discovery, but the Union Associa-
ton need not go to the expense of
getting patent on it; as no other
Association in the United States,
either white or ooiored, will ever
think of using the invention.
But having a collection of old
Associational Minutes among my
papers, have been making a lit
tie investigation, and find that, a
generation ago, the Union Associa-
ton was not afraid to express itself
on Temperance. At the session of
1854, when Rev. John Davidson, of
precious memory, was Moderator,
and Bro. Henson l.. Hobb, of Mt.
Olive Church, was Clerk, the fol-
lowing ringing resolution was
adopted
Resolved, That we sympathize
with the friends of Temperance
IN their contiN@sd efforts to secure the
passage Of a lac. prohibiting the traffic
an Intoxicating liquors, and that WE
WILL NOT CEASE AGITATING
THE QUESTION UNTIL 1T rs
ACCOMPLISHED.
Now, what do you think of that
Was the Union Association a polit-
ical body twenty-nine years ago ?
Or has it "fallen from grace" late
! ly? Or is it advancing backwards
with the enemy retreating upon it Z
If | am allowed to guess what is
the matter, 1 will suggest that this
year it was under the leadership OF
men whose political feelings are SO
controlling, that they put party
above humanity, and are willing
to make the Association an adjunct
of rotten political organization un-
der the feeble ,pretext of excepting
politics out" HIsToRIcUs.

Some Of the sotidest Prohibition Shot.

Annuat Meeting Of Grand Lodge,

Annuat Meeting Of Grand Lodge.
The Grand Lodge of West Vir-
ginia Good Templars was in session
at Ellenboro, Richie county on
Wednesday and Thursday of last
week. Most of the lodges of the
State were represented. The Order
has lodges at Elk City and Philip
pi, Barbour county; Concord, Mer-
Ger county; Darkesville, Gerards-
town, Martinsburg, Jones' Spring,
and Shanghai, Berkeley county
Berkeley Springs and Paw Paw,
Morgan county; Shepherdstown,
Leetown -(two) and Charleston, JEFF
ferson county Peck's Run, Upshur
county Coal Valley, Fayette coun-
ty; Eilenboro, Richie county, and
Wheeling.
We had the pleasure of being
with them in their public meeting
on Wednesday night, at the M. P.
Church.
An address of welcome was Civ
en- by Will A. Stricken, on behalf
of Ellenboro Lodge, which was re-
sponded to by J. B. Morgan, editor
of the Good Templar.. Other ad-
dresses were made by Hon. D. Nc
Gregor and J. J. Hetzel, of Morgan
county A few words were added
by the Chairman of the State Tenn
perance Executive Committee. DR.
T. Ii. Buck, of Leetown, presides
with graceful dignity.
The Order is enthusiastic for le-
gal prohibition. The addresses
we're full of it. In the long years
past and gone, when many, now &C
tive, were sleeping, and when there
were spasmodic temperance move
ments over the land, they were dig
ging deep and laying solidly the
corner stone and foundation on
which the temple of deliverance is
now grandly rising.
We very much enjoyed meeting
with these stalwart prohibition
lists of the Eastern Panhandle.
Mr.. Hetzel, of Morgan, whose alb
sence from the House of Delegates,
We so much mourned last winter,
made splendid speech Wednesday
evening; ard from the way he
handled the English language, we
were more sorry than ever that sick
ness prevented his being in his seat
during the last Legislature.
At Wednesdays session, repre-
sentatives to the State Temperance
Convention, to be held at Parkers-
burg, in June next, were appoint
ed, as follows:
Hon. J. J. Hetzel, J. B. Morgan
and J. w. Kidd.
Alternates, Hon. David MeGreg-
or, Dr. Thos, Buck, and J. A. Chap
man.
The report of the Committees on
state of the Order, recommended |
the employment of a State Lectu-
rer, and an efficient canvass of the
State. They recommended, also,
cooperation with the State Tenn
perance Executive Committee.
After adjournment, the Execu-
tive Committee employed Mr.. J.
A. Chapman as Lecturer, to enter
the canvass Immediately.
The next session is to be held at
Paw Paw.
The meeting was one of inter
est and harmony and new enthusi-
asm was kindled among the mem
bership.
Ellenboro gave them royal en-
tertainment.
The R. w. Grand Lodge will meet
in Washington, D. c., next May.

Dr. O'Connor also had his office in the building. It was very difficult for the fire department to get at the fire, but several streams were soon pouring in through the windows, and the fire was kept in these quarters. Shortly after the alarm sounded Officer Ben Jackson hurried to the scene and making his way to the second floor found two women lying unconscious on the floor from the eff fects of the smoke. He brought them out in safety and received their hearty thanks. Persons in the vicinity were loud in their praise of Officer Jackson, and as compIi- ments were showered upon him he felt repaid was compelled to digest. It was said there was no stove in the basement or any inf am mable matter from which the fire could have originated, and the cause of the fire could not be surmised.

Moving to New Quarters.

The large and fourishing branch of Winch Bros., dealers in boots and shoes, D. M. Cor thell manager, which has for long time oc- cupied apartments in the Register building, will remove to the store 329 Chapel street, second store west of Proctor, Gross Me Guire's, the first of this week. This store IS centrally located and will be thoroughly re. fitted and refurnished in the latest improved manner, and will afford greater facilities for the display of their large and excellent stock of goods than ever before. The line Of goods which this firm carries is of the finest. Every taste can be thoroughly satisfied. Footwear that costs little money and foot wear whose quality is most expensive will be on exhibition. The reputation which this firm, by it's fair dealing, long ago established will be thoroughly maintained always in the future. We have yet to learn of any customer who has had reason for dissatisfac- tion with treatment received from this firm Selling only reliable goods they make no statements not fully warranted by fact, and it is 8 matter well known to the public that few firms have been able successfully to com pete with them in prices. And this has given them much of the great success which now obEges them to seek more commodious and handsomer quarters at 329 Chapel street. The formal opening of the store will be Thursday.
