"Most Emphatically Expressed.

quor Dealers Convention
WHEREAS, 1t is the opinion of all
unbiased and unprecedented citizens

not be prohibited, as was most en-
phatically expressed by them

Know What they Want.

On the day following the success
of the license ticket in Wellsburg,
the good women of the town secur-
ed 525 signatures to a petition,
praying the Council not to grant
license. Although this prayer was
signed by a number of citizens
nearly double the number voting
for the license ticket, yet the petit
ton was spurned and thrown into
the waste basket of the Council.

NoTE.-After much trouble and
care we have arranged the above
list of appointments, as the very
best for all parties concerned, con-
sidering all the facts and circum-
stances that came TO our knowledge,
and we sincerely hope that local
matters will be promptly arranged
to suit in the various localities.
Let the friends go to work at
once, have the meeting arranged,
talked up generally, that the meet
ings may be a grand succession of
successes.

Well DOne-Calling County Con
YentiOnS

Well done, Raleigh county! She
calls a county temperance conven-
ton to meet at the Court House to
appoint delegates to the State Con-
vention in June, and for such other
business as may come before it.
Other counties are doing the same,
and we wish every county in the
State would do so at once. But
where this has not or cannot now
be done, let the friends in every
town and community consult to-
gether and see to it that they all
have representatives in the impor-
tant State Conventions in Parkers-
burg, June 17-18-19.
The indications are that the good
women of the State will come in
force to the w. G. T. U. Conven.
ton, and it would be shame tc
have the women "holding the fort
with not enough men present to
"hold their bonnets." But that
shall not be.

Was it Mean? Beer Checks and
BenevOlence.

Beer checks were dropped into
contribution box last Sunday in
one of the churches in Gallipolis,
Ohio Nothing too mean for some
people.-Huntington Republican.
Now, how about that? Was it
mean for a worshipper to throw
beer checks into the contribution
box? Many Christians pay their
subscriptions by orders on the mer-
chant, butcher and so on. These
orders are made available to the
pastor or collector, and are as good
as SO much money. Now, it is a
fact that members of many church
es help to establish bar-rooms and
make them just as legitimate and
respectable as grocery stores and
meat shops; and why should it be
thought meaner to give orders on
the one than on the other?
We hold that an elder, steward
or deacon who helps to license a sa-
loon is in honor and consistency
bound to cash all the beer-checks
he may find III his collection bask
ct. If not, why not?

An Appeal to Our Girls.

Dear Girls Of West Virginia, Each
and Euery One Of You:
Will you not take hold of your
work, the work that you alone can
do, in this Temperance cause? You
are young; life is before you; you
are looking for its joys and pleas
ures. Will true joy and real pleas
ure come to you in seeking it for

truth, yes law as memorable as
any laid down by Heaven, that
real and lasting happiness only
comes as we do good to others; and
what a field we have for this in our
temperance work
Dear girls, in behalf of all that
you hold dear in life, your pure
young womanhood, your bright
hopes for the future, your love for
your God, your home, your native
land, will you not, with earnest
purpose and loving heart, do your
part in this grand Temperance
cause, for in it Eye are workers to.

among others, the noted criminal
lawyer, T. C. Campbell, for bribery

Sheriff Steve Minshall, for playing
poker with the Berner jury.

Why Bleached Hair Is Going Out Of
Fashion.

"Some women rapidly lose memory
fail to recall faces or names, or both.
They lose appetite and have to resort
to beer or stimulant; lose sleep,
which is worse than all. They fall
victims to insomnia in its most aggra-
waited forms, and the last and most
dreadful warning is the loss Of eye
sight; they become perfectly blind.
They will attribute all these frightful
sufferings to hundred causes but the
right one, and their husbands are be-
ing told all the time that the only blon-
dine they use is little soda, common
alkai bar soap, or salts of tartar. But

NnDtial FancieS.

Marriages take place at all kinds Of
places-from caprice, love OF notoriety,
and sometimes from untoward circum-
stances. Recently couple were united
in railroad car; the stage coach has
furnished the place where the bridal
VOWS have been spoken; people have
been married on horseback, in towers,
and bathrooms. The writer once par
ticipated in wedding on the piazza of
a summer cottage on one of the Thou
sand Islands, the moonlight glinting
the majestic river that flowed beneath,
and browning the fair bride with such
splendor as the kings daughters we'll
might envy. Niagara has witnessed
the marriage VOWS, and behind the
bridal veil of Minnehaha Falls many .
couple have been made one. A Brook
lyn minister several years ago married
a couple from his chamber window,
telling them to come round in the
morning and sign the necessary papers.
The making out of the preliminary
papers, if the clergyman is man of
tact, is usually done after the ceremony,
for not seldom is there o marked hes
itancy on the part Of the contracting
parties in answering the fatal question
of age. Many times have the eyes Of
the bridegroom opened wide as the tally
of years counted some half dozen
more in the presence of the clergyman
than in the prenuptial condolences of
private conversation, and though the
records are attested as true, to the best
of the signer's knowledge and belief,
yet there have been occasions in the
experience of every minister when he
has been very certain that by some
strange magic at least half dozen
years have dropped out of the recollec-
ton of the antique but happy bride.
Strange accidents sometimes happen in
the preparation Of the certificate. The
writer once spoiled the bridal tour Of a
young bride by accidentally copying
the fathers instead of the sons name
from the Health Board return lying be-
fore him. The bride was in great
alarm and at once on her return she
visited the minister in great distress,
saving: "You have married me to the
wrong man." it was with no little diff.
Guilty that she was persuaded that q
new certificate would make the old
gentleman her father-in-law instead Of
her misunderstanding Eagle.
