annoyed by the crows, pulling Up

the eggs they could find on his plan

Immediately notified his wife and
children that he must die within

Remember that3it taxes . good

Remember that1it takes q good
deal Of work and money to build a
railroad, II is a big job to con.
strncl a railroad. There e always
draw backs and delays, 10 every
railroad enterprise before it is fin.
allycomPletsd.. Therefore we want
to impress upon our people the ne
cessityof displaying a liberal spirit
toward the River Railroad, il we
desire it to continue down The Ohio
River through our county TO thi,
place. The difference Of halfa mil
lion dollars in ils construction and
the lessenipg Of the distance about
twenty-five miles, is a big induce
mentto turn it from Mill Creek
across the country to Ten Mile. on
the Big Kanawha. The question
now TO be considered by all oul
people from here 10 the Jackson
line, along the river, is whether
they can afford to let this great en-
terprise take The Mill Creek route,
or whether 1t would be more TO oul
advantage to have it continue on
down the river to Point Pleasant
The matter is entirely With oul
people, and if they let the River
Road go the other route they will
regret it all their lives, and theil
children will rise up and curse
them for their illiberality and stu
pidity.

always hard.up, is blamed for a

gets cheated out Of half he earns
He puffs and does more to build up

miser and the fogy are benefited
yet they will not take his paper,

Chestnut Street M. E. church.

Bosworth Post, G. A. R., under Com
mander Galley, was present in full force at
the Chestnut street NJ. E. church yesterday
morning. Most of the veterans who re-
manned in Portland were also present The
opening exercises were participated in by
Chaplain Roe of Oshkosh, Wis, brother of
Rev. E. P. Roe, the novelist, and by Chap
lain French of Bosworth Post. Mrs. Witten-
meyers address consisted of "reminiscences
Of the United States Christian and Sanitary
Commissions, and was of thrilling interest,
moving the audience to applause and to
tears. The scenes she described and the
heroic work of the Christian Commission
will never be forgotten by the people who
listened to her. Rev. L. H. Stewart, the
Chaplain-in-chief of the G. A. R., added a
few words at the close; and the pastor an
nounced that owing to the interest the
special services would be continued at D. m.
The large audience room was again filed
in the afternoon to hear the terrible ex-
perience of Chaplain Stewart in Anderson
vile Prison. His picture of the horrors of
ife in rebel prison is stamped indelibly
upon the minds of all who heard him, and
perhaps reveals more fully than any other
facts connected with the war the inhumanity
OF Jefferson Davis and the rebel Secretary
Of War and Capt. Writ. The stern lessons
of the war presented by Chaplain Stewart
were lightened by. the picture of Christian
life at AndersOnville by Chaplain Smith of
Ohio, who gave some very bright and some
very touching sketches of his prison ex-
perience. Upon the whole, the large audi
ence seemed delighted and instructed by the
services.
Chaplain Smith has consented to give
free illustrated lecture at the Chestnut Street
church on Friday evening on his prison ex-
perience. The church will be crowded to
hear him, as his lecture is full of humor and
pathos, and is admirably illustrated.
