Pushing the Petitions.

The Wellsburg Herald says:
'The petitions asking the SUBJ
mission of the constitutional
amendment touching the liquor
question, so much discussed, are in
circulation for signatures here
abouts and we presume throughout
the State, and if we are not mis-
taken the aggregate of signers will
surprise those who think that they
have squeezed the life out of the
movement. There will be more
names to the papers this time than
there were a year ago, and more
than that, those who put down
their names now will do it with
more deliberation than they did
last year, with better knowledge
of what they are doing and with a
more determined purpose to stand
by it,"

that, "That Ike johnson is Re-
publican" This is said by De no
Gratis, On the other hand the Repub-
licans say the FREEMAN favors the
Democrats, and is run in the inter-
est of that party. So you see very
many good Temperance Democrats
and Republicans, are having their
paper stopped, because the editor
is a Observation-Disclosures
Now, l would say to all such ;
this is wrong. Let us support our
paper for the good it has done, and
proposes to do in the future. l
have thought just as others have
said that Eye Editor" was try
ing to throw the FREEMAN infu-
ence for the &c. O. P" Then /
have thought he leaned little to-
ward the "blessed Old Democratic
Party" So l just determined to
throw aside all my prejudice, and
watch his movements, and how
he talked in the FREEMAN.
Now, do you want to know the
conclusion 1 came to? 1t is very
singular indeed. Will you get
mad if tell you? Now listen to
me; don't get riled. 1 am going
to tell you now. Well-well-you
say you won't get out of humor
Now, then will tell you the con-
clusion have been forced to. II
is is-Now hold your temper
while | tell you: here it is, l hav.
decided that # you.are not a P'ohibi
Zionist you are nothing. So just
stay in the Temperance boat, and
keep padding away, and never
stop padding till we enter th'
Prohibition hasbor.
Now Temper ice friends, let VI
quit our fool, mess and come u,
as one man against this terrible
foe. Take the FREEMAN, read 1t
circulate 1t, all through the country
Under God we shall win.

We are very sorry to have over
looked the report of which the
following is a part, that should
have appeared weeks ago:
ED. FREEMAN: The White Oak
Temperance Society met Thurs
day evening and was called to or
der by Mr.. 7. G. Snodgrass.
After singing and prayer, Mr..
G. M. Ireland was elected Chair
man, and Elder Threllkall was in
troduced to the audience, and de-
livered a thrilling lecture that
created much enthusiasm among
the Temperance workers at White
Oak. The speaker is native Of
Kentucky and has seen much of
the crime, misery and degradation
that follow lives of drunkenness.
He spoke also of the Importance Of
teaching the effects of alcohol on
the system, in our schools.
Remarks were made by Capt.
Ireland and DR.. Dye, when the
meeting closed with the song,
"Hold the temperance Fort"
