DEAR FREEMAN: Inclosed find

grand little State from the blight
ing curse of the Liquor Traffic.
You are engaged in a great and
glorious work and victory will
soon perch upon the banners of the

1t should be cherished as con-
selling thought by all who are en-
gagged in this contest, that God is
with them, that the "pure in
heart" are all with them, and that
they have the earnest prayers of
the noble women who are suffer
ing most from the terrible curse
which the laws of our State i'm
poses upon them.
Let the grand work go on till the
enemy is driven from the land.

And l say emphatically to those

What is the history of the young
man who frequents the bar-roem,
drinking on the ly,gambling away
all he makes, "injuring no one?"
We watch him as he leads pure
young woman to the altar, pledg-
ing himselfin Gods holy ordinance
of matrimony, to love, comfort and
keep her in sickness and in health,
&c.
Again we see him a drunken
husband and father, going home as
a mad brute to abuse the wife of
his bosom.
And still again we visit that
home. Now there are none in the
house of poverty and woe that ever
tasted liquor.
After spending add his own and
all the faithful suffering wife could
earn, the victim husband and
father has gone down to a drunk
ards grave, and the heart-broken

starved child has NO words for her
unbearable sorrows and dispair.
Let it never more be said that
liquor hurts only those that drink

FRIEND FREEMAN :-Ohe chris
tian has been found to advocate
the cause of the saloon keepers. He
was heard to say he "despised the
very sight of the FREEMAN" Well,
certainly that mans soul has ney-
er been brought to the light Of the
gospel, which shows that drunk
ards have no promise in the world
to come.

from whom we are glad to hear,
sends us this encouraging item:
ED. FREEMAN:-C. M. Nickel,
Sinks Grove, Monroe Co., who has
been running an illicit distillery
for five or six months,was arrested
recently by revenue officials, and
taken to Charleston to await a trial
at the coming session of the FEEDER
al Court. Wishing the FREEMAN

HUNTINGTON, GUYANDOTTE,
PROCTORSVILLE.
A Skirmish, a Victory and a =
Downfall.

ED. FREEMAN First l want to
take you to task for calling the late
ticket elected in our city Temper
ance ticket, or in other words, a
flank movement of the temperance
people of the city.
AS Temperance man certain
ly should feel ashamed to have vot-
ed for one of these men who I knew
would vote to license saloons.
AS Christians and Temperance
men why vote for men in favor of
the criminal traffic? As men /
have nothing to say against them,
but their vote for license showed a
large majority of the Council to be
no friends of Temperance.
What we want in Huntington
is few good Christian Temper
ance leaders with courage to lead
us on to victory. Scores of men
say they would like to vote tenn
perance but have had no chance.
We have good men here but they
are too timid to lead, being afraid
of defeat. | have been voting "Pro-
hibition," but had to vote the word
without man to represent it,
choosing to loose my vote rather
than vote my conscience to shame.
RIoUsGUYANDoTTE.
Our neighboring town of Guyan-
dotte has the mettle of the true
ring. Up there they voted the
whisky shops out. After the election
was set aside by the whisky ring
the temperance people gained a
glorious victory second time.
So, after being beaten in Guyan-
dotte, one of the saloon keepers
moved his saloon over the Ohio to
the quiet town of Proctorsville but
here he soon found himself worse
off than ifin a bum ble-bee's nest
after it was poked with stick.
THE DOWNFALL.
The good citizens tried to rent
the house and tried every means
to keep the saloon out without sue
cess. But the women, God bless
them, they were not to be baff1ed
so easily. After surveying the
field, levers, plank and rollers were
produced, the house was pried up,
the plank and rollers put beneath,
and then 'long push, a strong
push and push altogether" and
the saloon landed with the top
down, under the river bank. This
the women did in keeping their
pledge made five years ago, that no
saloon should ever again curse their
happy town.
Again [ say God bless the ladies
of Proctorsville who have the cour-
age to protect their homes when
the law fails them. Let us all sell
and move out of this whisky-curs-
ed town and go over to Proctors-
Vile, where the women will pro-
tect US, if we are too cowardly to
protect ourselves.
Success to the FREEMAN and the
noble cause of, TEMPERANCE.

A Sermon from Kanawha.
Tent-'W Who IS Gsilty o(this Murder.

DEAR FREEMAN Il desire thro'
the columns of our excellent FREE
MAN to preach your readers short
sermon. Text: WEST VIRGINIA
FREEMAN, March 26, page s, article
2" Who IS G%sity Of thss Murder ?"
A horrible crime has been COM
mitted-a man has shot his own
bosom companion. Now the fol-
lowing questions press themselves
upon my mind as / inquire, "Who
is guilty
Would that man have shot his
wife if he had been sober =? Would
he have got illicit whisky and got
drunk had there not been licens-
ed saloon there? Would there
have been licensed saloon there
without authority oflaw?
AS to the first question, the
strongest probability is, that with
out the whisky that made him
mad man and a demon, he, and his
now murdered wife, might have
been dwelling safely and peacefully
together in their own home; yet
the saloonist that sold him the
whisky, the Commissioners who
granted the license, the law-mak-
ers who made the license law, the
law, the Courts and all the people
combine their verdicts and say,
He is guilty of this fendish crime ,
o, guilty culprit! o, wretched
SOUL But tell you that at the
bar of a healthy public sentiment,
and at the bar of Eternal Justice,
guilt cannot end with the poor vic
tin of the demon Rum, who under
the maddening influence of this
fell destroyer licensed whisky,
deliberately committed the great
est crime known to the law.
But there is that whisky vendor
whose business it is to SOW the seed
Of poverty, shame, disgrace, murder
and bloodshed over the land there
are those unfeeling Commissioners,
who heed not the orphans cries
who consider not the widows
groans nor listen to the ten thous-
and pleas for deliverance from the
body of this death but say to the
"For your money you
may continue to ply this work of
death among our helpless people"
And then there are our law max
ers who spurn the prayers of our
people for deliverence from this
monster, the curse of all curses, the
Ram Traffic; and reply with hypo-
critical gravity: HYou don't know
what you want" These are all |
parties to that fendish crime, and |
guilty in the sight Of Almighty
God of the blood of that murdered |
wife.
This may seem a radical posi-
ion, but if drunkenness is crime,
then it is crime to sell a man
to get drunk on. And if it
s crime to sell man whisky to
get drunk on, then it is crime to
license a man to sell that whisky;
and if crime to license a man to
'ell whisky, then it is a crime to

CORRESPONDENCE.
ORGANIZING THE FORCES.
From CeredO in Wayne to Grants
vile, Calhoun County.
DR.. Warmers Notes.

After good breakfast with Bro.
rs. Somerville, in Ceredo, Wayne
county, l procured good horse at
a livery stable and started up
Twelve Pole Valley to "Trout's
HILL" "Fairview," or "Wayne
Court House"
There are many nice farms in
this valley, the hills on either side
are low and fertile and grass and
wheat seem to be doing we'll.
Five miles below my destina-
ton, two things occurred. The
first was the commencement of a
rain storm that continued for many
hours. The second was the over
taking of drunken man who had
been to the Railroad. He was as
polite as Chesterfield and as wise
as the wisest, and was much dis.
gusted with Prohibition.
Reaching the Court House, l
found pleasant little town, built
on ridge overlooking the Twelve
Pole river or creek, or whatever it
may be called. After tnawing out
l called on Bro. Shumate, of the
Wayne Advocate, and had a very
pleasant interview. I also met
Senator Burgess, Mr.. Ratliff and
several other pleasant gentlemen.
Notwithstanding the pouring
rain, fair audience met in the
South Methodist Church, and lis
tened with much seeming interest
to the address.
WAYNE COUNTY ORGANIZED.
The county was organized as
follows
Committee at Large.-John S.
Marcum Esq, President; G. w. Fer
guson, }. D Garrett, w. J. Smith,
H. K. Shumate.
District Chairmem-James Nc
Quinn, A. Workman, A. R. Kirk
patrick, G. w. Ferguson, James
Queen, VIM. Vaughan.
On the following morning I re-
turned to Ceredo, and spent the
day mostly with Bro. Somerville.
Here [ met Captain Adams, for
merly of Ravenswood, who recently
returned from the West. He says
1t is too cold out there for him.
The Captain is sound on Prohibi-
zion. | met Mr.. Napier, Tempe
ance Mayor elect, and Messrs.
Workman and McDougal of the
Enterprise
The meeting was held in the
M, b. Church, Mr.. Sargent, once of
Parkersburg, presiding.
A good audience and close at
tentlon made the meeting pleas
ant. A local club was organized.
Mr.. Willis, Mr.. and Mrs. Os-
good, formerly of Maine, and DR..
Horton, are good temperance peo-
pie, and Brother Sommerville,
Methodist pastor, is just as good a
worker in our cause as can be found.
There are many others whose
names L do not now recall.
On the 25th, with Rev. J. w.
Hess, | went to Smithville, Richie
county and had a good meeting
and organized a local club. Rev.
Mr. Trevy, pastor of the M. E.
church, extended a generous hos
pltality and is a sterling tenn
perance man, Prohi bitionist.
A local club was the result of
this meeting.
CALHOUN COUNTY ORGANIZED.
The evening of the 18th, with
Brethren Avis and Trevy, found |
me at Grantsville, in Calhoun.
Here | met a number of good men,
the names of whom in part, appear
IN the organization.
The meeting was held in the
Court House, and was presided
over by Mr.. Metz, of Arnoldsburg.
There was much interest among
The people, and here, as at Smith
7ll!e and COTS, nearly all stood up
vs. in favor of our movement.

The opposition is becoming pan
lcky. They not only seem to see
the handwriting on the wall, but
can interpret 1t.
Temperance leaders should be
wary, cool and determined. There
is danger from direction not
dreamed of by the many. Require

do not trust them. w.

The Young Men" of Other Days.

| often wonder il the young men Of
his day enjoy themselves as much as
We old fellows used when we were their
age. Isometimes think they do not,
because they pay more attention to
thsif dress than their pleasures. Posi-
lively one everyday young ma is d
repetition Of the other. They are as
much alike a. Cinnamon. 1t is difficult
TO tell them apart unless one fellow has
q cast in his eye, q limp, or has a brok-
en- nose. To me they look a IL the
same tailor made their clothes, the
same bootmaker their boots and their
hair and mustaches were trimmed
by the same barber. Their manner.
isms have been acquired at the
same school, and their slang studied
from the same book. They tire me
because / am old, and ] detest a young
fellow who cannot be original in some
thing-his vices even, IL nothing else
be left him. The old crowd, the crop
Of gay boys that fiourished twenty years
ago, were more independent. II one
fellow appeared with long hair, his
friend would have his own cut short.
II one invented and acquired an odd
expression, oath or otherwise, his right
to it was respected. Nobody tres
passed upon his preserves, nobody Dor
rowed his property. His method Of
lighting q cigar, or lifting his hat, or
wearing his necktie was W copied
by a friend. Indeed, the man who
sould not cut his own swathe, who had
aot brains enough to devise a peculiar
