Should Lend their Influence.

The editor OF the Inde1 substan-
TALLY endorses the st. Louis reso-
luton in the following pertinent
editorial:
We sincerely trust that our citi-
zens will attend the meeting at the
Rink. Dec. 22nd, and hear the
LIQUOR CRIME discussed by Rev.
A. B. Leonard, D. D. Every
mother in the land should be
interested in this crying evil ;
every manageable young lady
should use her influence in the
cause of temperance, from the fact
that in case they have drunken
husbands, the wives are really the
greatest sufferers. Their hearts are
broken the first time they see their
liege lords intoxicated, and for
that reason they should, un-
hesitatingly, lend their influence
in controlling "the LIQUOR
CRIME" which ruins so many
thousands of our young men.

w. G. T. U. Notes.

The Parkersburg Union boasts OF
a IL year-old member in the per.
son of Allie Snow, who is following
in the steps of her lever ready to
work" mother. Allie is mem Der
of the "Band of Hope" and the
EMISSION Band" but her far reach
ing sympathy and energy would
not be bound by these limits, and
so she stands beside her mother in
the White Ribbon "Infantry,"
Our State Treasurer, Mrs. Henry
B. Hubbard, who has been an in
valid for several months, is slowly
recovering.

Two Children Burned Alive.

On Monday of last week we had
in our own county one of those
burning horrors that have no
expression in language.
Mrs. Fred Knopp, living in the
lower end of the county, went to
the store leaving her two little
children, the baby and girl aged
four years, locked up in the house.
In some unknown way the house
caught fire and burned to the
ground with all it's contents,
including the precious victims SO
thoughtlessly imprisoned.
The feelings Of the parents on
returning could only be told in
groans of agony and despair.

Court House Meetings.

The meetings conducted by Miss
Jennie Smith and Miss Harris, At
the Court House, Friday and Satup-
day evenings and Sunday after
noon, were well attended and full
of spiritual interest.
On Saturday evening Rev. ]. NJ.
Carter, of the M. e. Church
South, participated in the
services and made a most impresr
sive and effective talk. The fer
vent and faithful appeals of these
consecrated women go directly 10
the hearts and consciences of saint
and sinner, and the words they
speak for the Master cannot return
void.
They joined in the Sunday even
ing services at the M. K. Church
South, and precious season was
enjoyed there.
During all this week they are
conducting Union services at the
Baptist Church, every morning at
10 and evening at u.

Christmas at the Alms.h0use.

The Parkersburg Union was rep
resented at the Aims House by
Miss Mary Tavenner and Mrs.
Snow, who secured a liberal treat
for the inmates, and in company
with Miss Jennie Smith and Miss
Sarah Harris, left the city on the
$50 train on the morning of
Christmas.
After appropriate services, dolls,
candy, cakes and divers gifts were
bestowed upon the delighted in
mates.

Words Fifty Spoken.

We clip from Smiths hnden, these
words fifty spoken, *like apples
of gold in pictures of silver:
We hope the ladies of our city
will revive the old custom of keep
ing open house New Years Day,
and have every thing they wish
to tempt the palate excepting
intoxicating drinks. Let there be
nothing offered more stimulating
than coffee or tea, and we feel sure
that gentlemen who are addicted to
the flowing bowl" will be pleased,
in making their calls, to 500 that
lovely woman has the courage not
to place liquor in their way.

Watch Recovered.

Several months ago Mr.. Dave D.
johnson, of this city, had stolen
from his residence, in the night, q
coat, vest and gold watch. No clue
to the burglar could ever be found.
A few days ago, in feeding out
the hay in Mr.. Van Wrinkles sta
BILE, just across the street, the
clothing and watch were all found
cafe and sound. The thief had
probably hid his plumber too well
to find it.

BARNA POWELL CALLED OUT.
Barna Powell being called for,
proceeded to proclaim some Prohi-
bition truths that all the people of
Parkersburg should have heard.
As some outside the bar were
leaving, he said he was sorry those
who came to this Convention out
of curiosity could not stay long
enough to hear some reasons why
every good citizen ought to be a
Prohibitionist.
The old parties talked much
about tariff. Tariff brought to the
government and the people, all
told, only $2OO,OOO,O0O, while the
Ii 1uor Traffic took from them
100000 900. All reforms have
their rise in sentiment, but before
they succeed they come 10 De
questions CT dollars and cents
as we'll as principle. The Liquor
question has come to be matter of
dollars and cents, and of bread and
butter, and now the honest people
are going to rise in their might
and crush the robber that is de-
stroying so many millions of bush
els of their breadstuffs every year.
Any why should any good citi-
zen oppose a Prohibition ticket in
parkersburg? If they accomplish
all they seek and 30 much desire,
not a man, woman or child in the
city will be hurt. With hope of
SO much good and the surety of no
possible harm, let us all join hands
and try Prohibition for one year at
least.
On motion, the Convention adj
journed.
