Sunday Afternoon Meetings.

The Temperance meeting last
Sunday afternoon, was held at the
U. R. Church, and was addressed
by Revs. Lee, of the M. P. church
and ]. w. Carter of the Baptist
church.
We are very sure Bro. Lee con-
WINGED all present that he was a
Prohibitionist, and wasn't afraid
to be found aoorking at 1t. He was
especially urgent in his appeals to
all Christians to stand together
against the greatest enemy of the
Church and the people.
Mr. Carter gave the license reg
ulation farce some terrible thrusts,
as he is won't to do on all proper
occasions.
The audience was good one but
wasn't half big enough. Why
don't our people remember these
Sunday afternoon meetings and
fill up the houses?
The meeting next Sunday will
be at the
BAPTIST CHURCH AT 4, P. M.
Now don't forget this.

To Wood County Friends.

We send a large number of sam
pie copies this week to friends in
Wood county who are not subscri-
bers. We ask them each and every
one to post up the FREEMAN sup
plement in public place, that all
may see and read the Convention
announcements. Then we ask
each to take the FREEMAN, at least
through this campaign year. And
finally we want everybody in Wood
county to come in and enjoy the
Conventions. 1t will be rare
chance to hear rare addresses by
Miss Willard, Mrs. Wells, and 9th

That Sermon on Gambling by
Rev. j. w. Carter,
And What Folloaoed ON Wall Street.

Two Sundays ago Rev J, w. Car
ter at the Baptist Church, turned
his battery of moral gatlings on
the iniquities of stock gambling
with terrific effect. What follow
ed the whole world already knows.
1t would seem that Wall street
was raked from one:end to the 9TH
er. Broker after broker faitered
and failed, and firm after firm that
had swindled and swelled and
grown ponderously big on "mar-
gins" and Futures" dwindled and
dwarfed and collapsed. till the only
future" looked for was future
punishment"
We have been asked on the street
whether Mr.. Carter did it all on
purpose"

Sorry for the Confederation
Walkers District.

Ed. FREEMAN; We are truly sor-
ry for the Honorable County Court
of Wood county, and think the
members were placed in a position
which proved somewhat unpleas-
ant to them.
The sober, law-abiding citizens
of Writ and Wood counties in this
vicinity thought to rid the oom-
munity of shameful nuisance and
petitioned the Court to refuse H.
cense to said nuisance.
Not that we had aught against
James Kelly, who happened to be
the legalized agent of the Court to
maintain this nuisance, any more
than against any other man who
would engage in the Internal traf-
ficE 1t was the nuisance we were
after, not the Courts friend who
was keeping it?
1t is a well known fact admitted
by all saloon-keepers, that no man
can sell whisky in Wood county in
accordance with law, and make
enough to pay his license.
Hence they al. intend to violate
law, and the Court expects them
so to do. And so these death. traps
are set knowingly and wilful9y by
the parties concerned, and the trap
pers grow rich from illegal selling
to boys and drunkards.
So our boys are drawn into these
traps and destroyed.
The Honorable Court taunts as
by saying in the order granting
the license, that we brought no ev-
idence against the qualifications
or good moral character of the APP
plicant!
1t would be just as hard to find
a sober, law-abiding citizen hold
ing a liquor license, as it would be
for Bismarck to tell the exact time
a pig quits being pig and be-
comes hog.
OF course the Court must have an
excuse for this outrage upon our
people. The 227 voters living in
the vicinity supposed they would
be allowed to say whether apcitizen
I'm Richie county should sell whis-
key in Wood county contrary to
the protests and prayers of'an over
whelming majority of all the peo-
pie in the neighborhood. But they
were disappointed and defeated.
The excuse made that the oppo-
sition was personal, is nothing but
an excuse, and very bad one.
The Court was duly informed
both before, and at the hearing, tb at
the petitions and the contest were
against the iniquitous business in
that locality.
We were defeated, but not dis.
couraged. Garfield said it was bet.
ter to be defeated trying to do right
than to be successful in doing
wrong. And certain it is that it
is better to do right than to be
County Court.
Daniel, come forth p We think
we will in October, 1884.

John BradfOrd's Death.

There was much excitement over
John Bradford's death, who went
from Volcano to Marietta, and after
getting mad drunk on Ohio's tax
ed whisky, got into trouble with
the policeman, and in trying to es-
cape was chased into the river and
drowned.
The responsibility of this death,
like most deaths caused by whisky,
rests on many heads, official and
otherwise.

Mr.. Mellettes Position

Redfield Journal: The Hon. A. G.
Mellette, of Watertown, whose candidacy
was pushed by his friends at the Pierre
convention, was really the hero of the
hour Immediately after the nomination.
He sacrificed personal ambition to save
the cause for which he and his friends
had been contending-the right of south
Dakota to name the next delegate to
congress. Mr.. Mellette ente red the race
for the delegateship at the earnest
solicitation of his friends, and, although
he failed to receive the nomination, be
emerges from the conflict stronger
man politically than he was before in
Dakota. He made friends in every sec-
ton of south Dakota-frlends, who, be-
fore the convention, scarcely knew him,
will ever look upon him as man of
honor. one who sacrifices personal de-
sires and ambitions for the sake of prin.
ciple. Mr.. Mellette is patriot, every
inch of him, the very soul of honor, and
If the citizens Of Dakota do not soon
call upon him to serve them in the CO.
pacity. of some highly honored public
trust we will never again enroll the
Journal as a political prophet.

The Pierre Nomination,

Rapid City Republican: The terrific.
rial convention has performed the duty
for which it was called and while, as is
usual in conventions Of such magnitude,
there were organized factions, each Of
which was contending earnestly for the
nomination Of its favorite candidate. ali
palties seem to have had in view the
selection OF a man Of known loyalty, who
would represent The whole territory in
the councils Of the nation. That they
ultimately succeeded in the nomination
OF such man is witnessed by the hearty
cheers upon and the unanimous lndorse-
ment Of the nomination OF Oscar +. Gif-
ford, man in every way qualified for
the position, being thoroughly identified
with the best Interests OF the territory,
knowing we'll her needs and necessities,
and possessing the knowledge and ability
to secure such legislation a. will cou.
duce to her welfare and prosperity.
