DIR. SMITHS LECTURE.
"ManhOOd and How to Reach it. I"

The lecture by DR.. Smith OF
Wheeling, at the M. E. Church
last Friday evening was as grandly
big as the audience was shamefully
small. There were many eloquent
appeals in it that all our young
manhood" as we'll as old, ought to
have heard. His deliverances on
"Grit," as a most essential element
in Manhood" made the fire
fly at every turn of each rasping
sentence. The lecture was at once
the del1ghtsome unfolding of vol
umes of fowery diction, the start
ling explosion of magazines of facts
and the pleasing outflow of deep
currents of wholesomest philoso-
ply.
It would seem that when a good
thing comes to Parkersburg, our
people hide themselves away to
avoid getting any of it, but if a
clown or ten cent minstrel troupe
is "billed," crowds flock in to get
all the bad there is going.
All who were present at the lee
ture were greatly delighted and
richly profted, and we are sure, if
Dr. Smith can be induced to give
Parkersburg another treat, Parkers-
burg will treat him better.

A Letter to the Boys of Park
ersburg.

ED. FREEMAN Please let me
talk to the boys through your pa
per.
DEAR Boys: The first thing l
want to say to you is, it is a grand
thing to be boy. All the men
who ever lived, except Adam, were
first boys.
Nowadays it is impossible to
make a man till you have a boy to
begin with. All the great men that
you read about had to be made out
of boys and many of the greatest
men, when they we're boys had to
go with their elbows and knees
patched, and lock of hair stick
ing out of the top of the hat.
But they did not grow up to be
great by chance. They did it by
faithful, steady efforts. But it
would make my letter too long if
I were to tell you all that [ want
to say about boys. Let me tell
you how you can hear more:
On next Sunday, the 18th of jan
uary, get up early, wash clean,
put on your best clothes, and if
they are patched or ragged, no mat
ter; do the best you can. Then
come to the Southern Methodist
church little before eleven o.
clock, brush the mud, dust, Or snow
off your shoes, come in and you
will be shown to seats. Then sit
dow quietly and listen.
1 invite all the boys of Parkers-
burg, especially those not in the
habit of attending other churches.
I want you to come again at
night. Of course the grown up
folks are also invited, and your
sisters.
Your Friend.
E. M. MURRILL, Pastor.

and that this extra number comes
to you with an earnest invitation
to renew.
The cause of Temperance in
West Virginia needs the FREEMAN
and the FREEMAN needs the help
of all the friends of the cause.
Won't you continue to give it
practical sympathy for the sake of
the cause? One subscription is not
much help, you say. Very well !;
one is not much to you, but hun
dred is much to the FREEMAN.
The Legislature meets next week,
the Petitions are now pouring in to
the Chairman of the State Com
mittee, and the contest will soon
begin again at Wheeling between
the friends of the Home and the
allies of the Saloon. Every friend
of Temperance and good govern
ment will want to watch the pro-
gress of the battle. Every short
time subscriber ought to renew,
and get the FREEMAN, at least till
after the adjournment of the Legis-
lature.
Please send us 81, so for a year,
100 for s months, Is cents for 6
months, or at least 80 cts for 4 mos.
Send at once, SO as not to miss

blue x, it reminds you that your
short time subscription expired

invitation to renec. Unless heard
from your name will now be drop
ped with no charge for the overtime.
And if you now renew we will like
wise give you the past month and
date your renewal from the present,
Please read the item just above
and let US hear from you at once.
PLEASE NOTE THIS.
1t is our rule, now strictly follow
ed, to drop the names of all trial, two
and four months subscribers, a!
expiration of time, after giving

notify US when they want papers
discontinued.
But this is the best couplet to
sing,
Come lets us reYeao,
And our journey pursue.

The Published Call and Public
Meeting.
The Circulated Call.

The following "Call" was circu-
lated last week and signed by
more than 100 of our leading citi-
gems and business men:
"The undersigned citizens of
Petersburg, believing that the
administration of the city govern
ment should be conducted upon
good business principles and that
such administration cannot at all
times be secured by either politi-
cal party, are of the opinion that
the best results can only be
reached by the selection of good
men for Mayor and Council with
out regard to politics; that while
upon general principles this prac-
tice should be the rule in munich
pal affairs, the needs of the city
for the coming year especially de-
mand and ought to have the SER
vices of the best business talent of
the community; and to this end
we recommend that meeting be
held at the Court House on the
evening of Monday, the 9th of jan
uary, 1885, at half past seven, to
consider the propriety of nomin-
ating a non-partisan ticket for
Mayor and Council for the ensuing
year."
