A HOME STORY.
A Petersburg Druggist makes
a Dime, fills two Graves, and
Makes Eight Orphans.
Mother told me It al,cdys made Her
Worse ,ohen Father Drank"

]
We clip the following from the
Meigs County, (Ohio), Telegraph,
of August 6, and will not trast
ourself to venture any comment.
| We simply ask our readers to lot
the heart sink down, down, down,
as the story is told, into the awful
woes Of the liquor traffic curse, till
il sickens to eternal revolt at the
horrible horrors Of the horrible
business.
But here's the short, sad story: =
LONG BORROW, w, VA.-Mrs Sher-
man was buried July %, by the
side OF her husband, who was bur-
led July 2 The funeral sermon
was preached bv Rev. Mr.. Geiger,
United Brethren minister, from
the text, 1t is appointed unto
man once to die, and after death
the Judgment" 1t was q rainy af.
ternoon and muddy, but there was
a good turnout OF people at the flu
neral. The SERMON was as good as
we ever listened to, and held the
attention Of tine people to- the
close.
The occasion was one never 10
be forgotten bv those who were
present. We have attended many
funerals, but never before one like
this. The little children were all
the relatives who were present.
and the heart-rentbing cries of these
orphans, who need not have been
orphans hut for strong drink, as
they stood for the last time by their
dead mother, and for hours after
ward when they had returned to
their desolate home, must have
reached the ear Of that God who
hears the orphans cries, and who
has said: II will repay"
A druggist in Petersburg, on the
3Oth of June, sold the father some
whisky. The next day he drank
a large quantity of the poisonous
stuff, and in short time fell dead.
The mother was sick at the time,
and her death was fastened, if not
caused, by the sudden death of her
husband. One of the children
stated, "Mother told me that it al,
ways made her worse when father
drank"
The druggist may have cleared
a dollar by the sale, and the result
is, two souls hurried into eternity,
and eight children made orphans.

2. That the laws which foste
and protect such an inhuman ira,
fic are altogether inconsistent
idiotic and diabolical, and ought t
be forthwith relegated to the darl
chambers Of oblivion and the com
partnership of the outgrown and dis
carded deviltries of bygone savage
ry.
3. That laws in keeping with tn,
humanity and enlightenment o
this Christian age, ought to b,
spread upon the statute books O
all civilized governments, forbid
ding this monster crime, and pun
, lshing it in like manner as Other
crimes of like Nervousness, such a.
mufder theft and arson.
4. That we hereby renew our re
spectful petition. heretofore urged
that the Honorable Legislature Of
West Virginia viii, at its next SEES.
sion, submit to vote of the people
constitutional amendment forev
er prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage within this State.
5. That we will use our utmost
influence to secure the election of
such Legislature as will grant
this our earnest petition.
6. That we heartily CONNIE nd
the West Virginia Freeman.as in
dispensable to the success of the
Temperance cause in our State, and
urge our own people and all Chris
tians and humanitarians to give it
an enthusiastic support.
The discussion on the report was
fully as lively and vigorous as the
report itself and, if possible, more
so.
Speeches were made by Revs. w.
P. Walker, w. L. Van Horn, B. f.
Byrd, Il. J. Viliers, w. e. Powell,
d. T. C. Farrow, Prof. Purinton

IL is needless to add that the re-
port was unanimously adopted
with all its vigorous English.
We cannot note the interesting
discussions on the various reports

singers of Elizabeth furnished ex-
cellent music, and with the speech
es of Revs. J. w. Carter, W. L. Van

pa HARRISBURG ASSOCIATION
In an Arbor at Palestine.
A Lire n. nprance Report-The
E.,sa, eth Meeting.


C. Martin, Capt, Mur.-ay in com
mand, safely landed nean an even
hundred delegates and vh'ltors to
the Parkereburg Association, at the
rocky wharf of the inland city Of
Palestine, Writ county.
The town and surrounding courl-
try met the invaders with cordial
welcome, and for two days every
citizen We'd with every other in ex-
tending hospitality as boundless
as it was hearty and free.
THE ASSOCIATION ARBoR
was the happiest thought of the
members OF Bethesda church, with
which the meetings were held.
Appropriating beautiful or
chard meadow, long timbers were
extended from appletree to apple
tree, with supports between.
Across these were thrown other
timbers and poles and the whole
covered with green brush and
foliage brought from the woods.
Beneath this commodious stand
and seats were arranged, making a
grand arbor-aud:torium, capable of
seating nearly fifteen hundred peo-
pie. It was most happy thought
happily carried out, and added
greatly to the comfort and protita-
bleness of the Association.
Without going into particulars,
it is but just to repeat the obser'
vations of returning deiegat.s, to
say-the attendance was unusually
large and the sessions unusually
interesting.
THE OPENING SESSION
On Wednesday morning was pre-.
coded by an hours devotional ex-
ercises, during which a number of
delegates spoke of the meetings of
the olden times.
Deacon Farrow had met with the
Association here 40 years ago.
Judge Okey Johnson spoke of be-
ing present at it's session here 80
years ago, and Rev. J. w. Carter
referred feelingly to the past, and
spoke hopefully Of the present and
future.
Prof. A. L. Purinton made the eff
fective speech of the sessions, on
THE EDUCATIONAL REPORT.
After a most eloquent and heart
stirring compliment to the many
noble and self-sacrificing ministers
of the past who were called to
preach without the advantages of
an education, he proceeded to pre-
sent the necessities for an educated
ministry for the future with a WV
idness that carried with him at
once the minds, hearts and pockets
of the audience. In few minutes
he secured subscriptions amounting
to more than $4,000 for aiding
ministerial students.

Wednesday night Grand Tenn
