A VARIETY OLE SPEECHES.


Hon G w Atkinson addressed
the Convention briefly in behalf of
Wheeling Female College, highly
comm ending it to the patronage Ct
the State.
Miss A Taylor, upon invitation,
made a plea for pure and culti-
waited homes, presenting the claims
of the college over which she pre-
sided.
The President, Mr. McGregor,
urged the country's need of "a more
general and higher female culture,
referring to the fact that in church
es, Good Templar lodges, and all
benevolent organizations, women
were largely in the majority, while
in the Penitentiary there were ma
ny times more men than women.
We need the vast influence OF these
purer, educated women to oppose
the liquor traffic. In closing he
said he would rather be one of
few in the right than a "big man"
among the many in the wrong.
GREETINGS AND GOOD CHEER.
During the sessions, in addition
to kilograms referred to, communi-
cations were received, read and
placed on file as follows:
Letters from U S Senator, H L
Colquit, of Georgia, Geo W Balm,
Esq, of Kentucky, DR. Loyal Young
of Putnam Co, Rev D Powell Of
Taylor Co, G C Claypool, Charity
Band of Hope, Monroe Co.
The business of the Convention
having been completed, congratu-
lations were INDUCED for the har-
mony and good will that had mark
ed the sessions, and or motion, Con-
vention adjourned to meet at the
call of the State Executive Commit
tee.
After singing
"Praise God from whom all blessings fiow,"
DR. Warner pronounced the Ben
ediction, and so ended by far the
argest and most important Tenn
perance Convention ever held in
the State.

Suaaner Hints,

Nothing is more desirable for a
girl than nice white hands. l am
knitting mittens out of No. 16 cot
ton yarn for that purpose. They
are better than alf-hands, as they
cover the whole hand.
For sunbonnets, [ think for one
to be worn around home, calico is
better than bingham, as it holds
the starch better.
School has closed, and as we are
to have visitors fos about month
we can't clean house now. l am
spending my time in making darn
net lace. Z think it is very nice
for summer collars, as they are so
light and cool. Lace to turn back
over the sleeves of calico dress
looks very pretty In making lace
one can invent patterns as they
make it. Grandma took piece of
wall paper, tackled it on the oil
cloth under the net and worked a
pretty leaf in charm stitch.
There is nothing more helpful
to the cheerful look of a room at.
night than a bright light. Here Is
a recipe to mend broken lamps
but it will not adhere if the oil
runs over it, Take a large iron
spoon and melt lump of alum unr
til very thin, then use It as glue,
only be careful not to let it get cold
before putting the pieces together.

deprived of the privilege.
Let me say, sick or well, living

missing friend of Temperance. I
am heartily in sympathy with you
in our great work of love. No true
friend Of mankind can advocate any
form of compromise with the whis.

ton. The moral good of mankind.
the progress of the world, the ad.
vance of education, the purity and
strength of the church, all demand
the abolition of the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating drinks as
a beverage.
Members of the Convention, be
assured you are right. You are ad.
vocating the cause of sobriety,
cleanliness, goodness, and that
which removes the heaviest curse
from our State and our country.
God bless and crown your labors
with success. These lines are writ.
ten while the body is full of pain,

humble way, will do what I can

happy.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PRESS
ITS PRACTICAL ADOPTION.
Following is the report:
Your Committee beg leave to
state that it is our opinion that
THE WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN is
the greatest and most important
lever of success in the tenn perance
work in West Virginia. that the
paper started on an inadequate en-
dowment, in consequence of which
its operations have been greatly
hampered, and that it cannot be
that power for good in the cause
which its friends expect of it, I'M
til it is thoroughly established f.
nancially. 1t needs now $500. |
This Convention can and ought to
pledge this am )unt now, for the !
campaign is upon US, and the time
for mere sounding resolUes has past.
The time for doing something is
here. Let the Convention lay ev-
erything else aside, and provide
this fund without a moments de-
lay. The Way to raise money is
to raise it, Let Us then raise ST.
500 and make the FREEMAN what
it was originally intended to be,
free in every respect, that it may
ring out in thunder tones all over
our hills and valleys, that West
Virginia must and shall be forever
freed from the intolerance of the 1ohis-
Ey traffic.
We are profoundly grateful to
many of our State papers for the
recognitions they have given the
cause of temperance in West Vir-
ginia, and earnestly hope that
they will not weary in we'll doing,
but will continue their demands
upon the Legislature until Pro
hibition Amendment to our State
Constitution is submitted to a vote
of the people.
G W ATKINSON, CHAIRMAN.
Mr. Atkinson followed the read
ing with pointed and vigor-
ously emphatic appeal for some
