ED. FREEMAN: If you like few
items from this part Of Wood coun-
ty, here goes.
The school under the care Of Mr..
Thomas Anderson has been doing
a good work. Teachers, scholars
and parents all work tremendously
and are on the best of terms. The
Holidays brought abundant proofs
of this fact. The school-house is
kept we'll ventilated and nicely
ornamented. On Christmas, Mr.
Anderson treated his school to con-
dictionaries to the delight Of the
children, and in return on New
Years Day, the patrons of the
school gave Mr.. Anderson a splen-
did dinner. Among those active
in this testimonial were the fami-
lies of Messrs. Gibbs, Pennybacker,
Givens and others.
Rev. J. w. Perry, who was hold
ing meetings in the neighborhood
at the time, made happy address
to the company after the dinner.
All enjoyed the occasion, and eve
rything passed off pleasantly,
During the meetings there were
a number of conversions and eight
accessions to the U. B, Church.
The foundation of their new
church is almost complete, with
timber and lumber all paid for,
and on the ground.
AS soon as weather permits the
house will go up. BETA.

Temperance Progress.

Of course all who are on the side
of the rum barrels make light and
sport of the efforts of the temper
ance men and women. Every vic
tory is minifed, every endeavor is
ridiculed, every organization is
laughed at. Nevertheless the
cause is making progress. Deter
mined men and women are prayer
fully lifting their faces to God, and
in his name going forth to renew
the conflict. The hosts of intern
perance are secretly grumbling,
and deploring the effect upon the
trade by these fanatics" as they
call the temperance forces, but the
fanatics" are multiplying. Gov.
St. John, of Kansas, is doing grand
service in the cause, and the exam
pie of that State is stimulating
temperance activities throughout
the other States Of the Union. Ow
ing partly to the growth of public
sentiment in favor Of temperance
and partly to their own interests,
the brewers have fercely turned
against the "forty-rod" whisky ard
old-fashioned rum, and come out
upon the platform of that mild
"temperance beverage" known as
lager beer, To make it universally
cheap, they manufacture it out of
glucose and other substances; but
the public, and even drinkers, are
beginning to catch the idea that
beer makes people drunk, that it
is bad for their liver, injurious to
their bodies andbusiness, their pock
cts and principles, and is unneces-
sary after all. Some Of the imbib
ers are saying and acting ''no more
lager for me-" At any rate the ag
itation will not down. There is
not a nation under the sun where
intoxicating drinks is not a curse,
and the world is going to recognize
that fact,-Our Work at Home.

A "High-License" Law.

The State Of Nebraska has tried
a high-license law for year or so,
and while it has driven out Of ex-
istence few of the weaker liquor
dealers, it has enriched the stronger
and has not diminished drinking
or drunkenness. A recent dis patch
from Omaha to the Chicago Tribune
says: "The Hon. Charles Kauf-
mann, of this city, secretary Of the
State Merchants and Manufacture
er's Union, a liquor protective asso-
citation, asserts that the high
license law has not decreased
drunkenness" The effort for a
high license or tax is only to try to
make the iniquity of the traffic
more respectable and so throw
around it the endorsement of law
High-license and tax-laws are the
offspring of iniqu1ty, and are repu-
dated by the great mass of the
friends Of temperance in the land.

Gov. Click Refuted.

Gov. Click in berating prohibi-
ton in his message (Register's Spe-
ciaD, among other falsehoods, pro-
claims great increase of crime
under prohibition, citing the Kan
sas Penitentiary record as proof.
But the chaplain of that prison
writes to the Topeka Capital that
"The average yearly increase of
criminals in that institution for
the thirteen years preceding the
taking effect of prohibition in the
State was forty-six. At the time

A Friend to the Needy, passed
away.

ED. FREEMAN Mr.. Brown, Of
Irondale, Preston county, w. Va,
died Sunday evening, January
81, 1888.
Mr. Brown was member Of the
Episcopal Church, quiet citizen,
and a good man. The people Of
Irondale all feel that in his death
they have lost a friend, yet
none realize the loss so much
as the very poor, the father
less and the widow. To them he
gave much aims observing at the
same time the rule laid down by
Christ, "Let not thy left hand
know what thy right hand doeth,
that thine aims may be ia secret"
Those to whom he gave went and
told it abroad.
The aims of most men consist in
giving crumbs to those who beg at
their gate. The poor did not have
to seek Mr.. Brown, and beg at his
gate. He sought them and gave,
not crumbs, but of the best he had.
He gave to those of whom he could
expect nothing in return. He

[ met the wife and little girl of
one of these men. The child should
have held that fathers heart from
wrong, as it is both pretty and in
teresting. The young wife is much
afflicted, and has the sympathy of
wide circle. While witnessing
her sadness | thought Of the Ian
guage of Luther to his wife when
She was sobbing over her dying
child: "Ah! Kate, this is hard
world for women, anyhow" On
Monday afternoon special service
was held at a private house for the
benefit of an old lady. She stated
during the service that she had been
a Christian for ffty-six years. The
meeting was a very precious one.
At night the church was crowded,
and several persons rose for pray
ers. l passed by the graves of the
wife and daughter Of Borgess., who
killed them. The wife had sad
history. For year she was salts
fed that her husband would kill
her, but could not make her friends
believe it. Whisky nerved the
heart of the cruel man, and wife
and child went down to death un-
der his murderous blows,
The course of the Wheeling Reg
ister in regard to the Amendment
is exciting much honest indigna-
ton among sober and Christian
men. Such paper should not be
tolerated in any home, until it
learns better manners as well as
morals.
Near Cantral Station lives man
old and gray-headed, who has for
years been making whisky and
selling it to young men, and has
well nigh ruined some Of them.
Sometime during last summer
his "stills" were destroyed by par
ties unknown, but he continued to
sell what he had on hand. In do
ing this he has taken in a large
amount of spurious coin, some say
hundred dollars, suppose this
was done by the boys on the prin-
ciple that it was fair exchange.
Both the money and whisky were
frauds. PROHIBITION.

Up and Down Notes.
Incidents, Facts and Dissertations.

ED, FREEMAN: The Fourth
Quarterly Meeting for New Milton
charge occurred near Morgansville,
Jan. 20 and 81, rain, snow, freeze,
thaw, and snow, described the
weather. The meeting in some
respects was very good. The peo-
pie or some Of them in this sec
ton" have way of thanking God
for the gift of His Son by Nursing
and manipulating jugs of whisky
and the preacher had no better
taste than to remind them Of it in
a manner more irritating than sat
isfying to them.
One or two laughable incidents
occurred in this place. A few weeks
ago Rev. r. Wood, Pastor U. B.
Church, had preached and asked a
brother Of another church to offer
the closing prayer. He prayed,
and among other things, said !;
"Lord bless thy servant, the preach
err! Grant to clear his hide and
warm his heart" The preacher
referred to had a very dark skin,
which gave more point to the ludi-
crous blunder.
On Thursday, left Wilsonburg
for Grangeville. After walking
over three miles met a friend com
ing after me with a nice riding
horse. This made matters more
pleasant. The quarterly was a
good deal hindered by constant
rain, deep mud and high water
Notwithstanding this the services
were quite interesting.
Near to this place several persons
