The Temperance Conventions as
Viewed by an Upshur Editor.

~ We had the pleasure of attend.
ing the Temperance Conventions at
Petersburg, held on the II, Is,
and 10 of this month. The follow.
ing were in attendance from this
county;John G. Dix and daughter,
George G. Carper and wife, Miss
Malvisa Burr, Luther Casio, F. M.
MARBLE and A. B. Clark. All were
kindly provided for by the Com
mite. The exercises throughout
were of the highest order and will
certainly be productive of great
good throughout the State Some of
the prominent Temperance Wo-
men of the U. S. were present,
among them Miss Willard, of Chi
cago, the President of the National
w. G. T. u, Mrs. Wells, President,
Of the Indiana w. G. T. U. and Jen-
ME Smith the railroad Temper
ance worker and evangelist, all of
them fine speakers and workers be-
sides there were many others of
our own State, who were earnest
and efficient workers. In the State
Convention there was fair repre-
sentation from all parts of the State,
II out of the IA Senatorial Dis
tricts were represented. There
seems to be determined purpose
to work for Prohibition and to work
in harmony, also to keep the mat.
ter as free from party politics as
possible. We hope to give a syn.
opsis Of proceedings aext week.
Parkersburg did herself proud in
the way of entertaining the dele
gates. We were quite royal en-
tertained by DR.. J. P. Shafer and
his estimable family, who did
their best to make our stay in
their city pleasant and we will
add that they were entirely sue
cessful we shall ever have kind re-
membranes of them. We dined on
Thursday with Rev. T. B.. Hughes
and family, found them we'll and
very pleasantly situated. We had
other invitations from kind friends

Marshall County Prohibition
Clubs.

ED. FREEMAN: Liberty district,
Marshall county, has three organ
lied Prohibition Clubs, and has
listed the voters in some of the
school districts, which shows up
most encouragingly and proves
that the Amendment would sweep
things in these parts. -.p

Thousand Mile Sympathy.

Polygamy must go. The Re-

Republican party will be on hand

Sympathy for the Mormon vic
TINS is good; but we never could
grow enthusiastic over sympathy
that goes thousand miles for a
subject, missing all between.
The attention Of the National
Republican Convention at Chi
cago was called to disgraceful,
shameful, burning curse, a thou
sand times more fearful and dam
ming in it's results than the little
patch of Far West polygamy ever
can be-a curse that is continuous
ly blasting our homes and destroy

To the Secretary of the Temperance
Convention, to meet IN Parkersburg

DEAR SIR: 1t is with deep regret
that l have to deny myself the
pleasure of meeting with the
friends of temperance in their
grand rally for the Right.
All that l can do, therefore, is to
pray that God may speed the good
cause, and make the Convention a
glorious success. o@l. sela % as
