Prohibition Advancing
An Opportunity, All West Virginia
Wants.

Truly, Prohibition is advancing
IN this State. Out of fifty-four
counties in West Virginia, forty -one
refuse 60 grant license to sell
intoxicating liquors. The friends
and and advocates of the cause of
frohibition should feel that the
anti Prohibitionists did themselves
an injury when they defeated the
submission of the Amendment.
had the Amendment been sub
mltted to the voters, for ratification,
the first or second time it was ask

would have been defeated, but now,
since the people have been
enlightened on the subject and
Inelr attention directed to the
evils growing out of the whisky

AKRON AROUSED.
Fighting the Sunday Saloons.

An immense mass meeting was
recently held at Akron, O., to take
measures against the Sunday Sa-
loon traffic in that city, Judge
Tibbals made an eloquent address
presenting a scathing indictment
against the saloons.
We clip the following incident
from the report of his speech
"The Judge here related the cir
cumstance OF Monday last before
the mayor. Where woman had
been arrested for selling on Sun
day, and her husband arrested tor
being drunk and abusing his fami-
ly on Sunday, made drunk on liq-
our obtained from his wife. When
questioned as to the sales of liquor
on that day, she didn't know, she
didn't think she had, etc. A moth

Plies, a daughter to be among the
future mothers OF our country,
What is there before us? A moth
er with five months babe going
to Jail for violating the Sunday
law. Yet, this is what drink
makes Of votaries. He appealed to
all good citizens to rise up in the
dignity of outraged man and wo-
manhood, and face this crime as
you would face the thief in the
night, and drive it from our midst.

At the close of that memorable con-
flict the South, once SO fair and rich
and powe erful, lay bleeding and gasping
in the ashes of defeat and humiliation.
Her fields were laid waste, her wealth
consumed, her cities battered and burnt
and ruined, and her thousands of once

ful by the rage and wrath of armies
and the cruel ravages of civil war.

of griefs more poignant than the sword

for few moments TO watch its prog.
ess as has been his custom since it
was started. He had been near the
boiler and had just turned to leave
when the explosion occurred that
maugled his body frightfully and blew
it distance of several rods. Another
spectator was just entering the boiler
house and was blown a wonderful dis

spected by his neighbOrs and acquain.

IN MEMORY OF EDITH VIOLA zENrs.

Gently fold the little hands
Across thy pure white breast;
The little heart that beat in love
Lies cold and still in death.
The little bud so bright and fair,
To wither and to die,
Will bud and blossom in the light
Above the bright blue sky.
And while on thy loved form we gazed,
Our hearts with sorrow wringing,
The angels bright all robed in white
Their joyful praises singing.
There's hight above the starry sky
A light chats shining ever,
Where friends may hope TO meet again
And sing His praise forever.
A little sister gone before,
And in the grave yard sleeping,
While two are lying side by side
The angels are watch-keeping.
Then lot us dry our tears of grief;
Our eyes are dim with weeping;
The little babe has gone to God,
And in his arms is sleeping.
