STRAY NOTES,
Mt. Lake Park w. Z. L. u. Con-
ference,
Penciled IN the Woods.

Grace Cottage is Headquarters
for all that is pleasant and good
and profitable, at Mountain Lake
Park, and Jennie Smith is the hap
Ply head of Happy Headquarters,
Faith" Cottage is next door to
"Grace," and, lighted and warmed
with the benignant presence of
Miss Sarah Harris, is the happy
complement of "Grace" Cottage.
No brighter homes were ever set
on mountain top than these at
Mountain Lake Park.
The Fifth Annual w. G. T. U.
Conference at this new summer
resort, held last week, was by far
the best of all, with ten States
officially represented, AS the
proceedings in this issue show,
there was much practical and
prOnCaDle Work zone.
We wish all FREEMAN readers
could sit here among these noun
tain oaks and drink in the inspir-
alton impaired by these noble
women as they confidently and
beseechingly lay hold of Omnip-
otence for the overthrow of the
Liquor Traffic. What an audience
this consecrated PARK would have
to-day AS every newspaper is
supposed to have at least five
readers, this would make an army
of many thousands to go down
from the mountains with the cry
raised to an enthusiastic and
inspiring shout, The SALOON MUST
GO!
CLEARING UP THE TANGLEs.
These notes are being penciled
as the writer sits among the oaks,
within hearing of the glad song
service in the auditorium.
All about are delightful grass
carpeted groves, interpreted with
neat cottages, musical with glad
voices and joyous with songs of
praise, where but a few years ago
was but a wild, unbroken forest of
mountain trees and vines, fern,
brush and swamp, not Only most
uninviting but almost impene-
trable. What mans hand has
done to clear up and beautify these
sacred groves, SO the great w. c. T.
U, army is busy with heart and
voice and hand clearing up
the wild moral tangle of evil
growth in society, to let in the
pure sunlight of truth and
righteousness, that ugly swamps
and thickets of vice may give
place to green swards of peace be-
spangled with blooming joys.
And SO will it be in the coming
happy days of universal Prohibi-
ton and sobsiety.

Top feast in next issue. in con-

bitten Convention.
FIRST TICKET IN THE
FIELD!
An Enthusiastic and sue.
cessfuI Meeting.

Convention met at the Court
House, in Point Pleas ant, July 81,
at 10 a. 10. Rev. George w. Keep
Ter was elected Chairman, and Rev.
A. S. Bowles, Secretary. After an
earnest and impressive prayer, by
Rev. R. B. Ward, the Chairman
called on John U. Myers, Esq, to
state the object OF the Convention.
Mr.. Myers, in an elaborate address,
showed, in most convincing man
ner, that the suppression of the
liquor traffic would never be &C.
com plished through the agency of
party which had to depend for its
success on liquor votes. He dem
onstrated that to secure effective
Frrohibitory laws, and to maintain
and vigorously enforce them, Pro-
hibitionists would first have to be
elected in the three departments of
government, viz, the Legislative,
Judicial and Executive depart
ments; and in order to reach this
result, he showed that Prohibition
lists would first have to organize
themselves into one solid, compact
party.
After the speech, request was
made for all persons present who
favored the third party organiza-
ton to occupy a position by them
selves in the Court Room; where
upon, large number of our most
respectable and intelligent citizens
came to the front.
Committee on resolutions was
appointed, consisting of John U.
Myers, J. M. Greenlee, R. S. Bick-
lie, John Morrison, and W. San
ders.
The Convention then adjourned
until one o'clock, p. m.
Pursuant to adjournment. the
Convention was called to order at
one o'clock, and the Committee re-
ported the following Resolutions,
which were unanimously adopt
ed:
(The Report on Resolutions, be-
ing lengthy, came too late to get it
in this issue. It will appear in
full next week,-ED)
The following persons were then
elected as the County Executive
Com mittee:
Levi Roush, Sr., John U. Myers,
R. S. Bickle, J, w. Sanders, D. M.
Sullivan, D. S. Vanmeter, E. H, S.
Whitehead, and Z. 7. Scantlin.
The following ticket was nomi-
mated For House of Delegates:
D. M. Sullivan and VIM. A.
Byus.
For County Commissioners
J. w. Foglesong and E. II. S.
Whitehead.
For County Surveyor:
Arthur Edwards.
The following delegates were ap-
pointed to the Congressional Con-
vention:
James Barrett, Frank Day, John
U. Myers, D. S. Vanmeter and Z.
I. Scantlin.
10 the Senatorial Convention:
J. W. Foglesong, J. M. Greenlee,
John U. Myers, D. M. Sullivan,
and W. Fl. King.
John U. Myers then made an earn
est request for every Prohibition
list in the county to take The
FREEMAN. He urged that we are
engaged in mighty contest, and
that the FREEMAN, in this great
battle between the Home and the
Saloon, was an indispensable wea-
pom on the side of Home. On mo-
ton, it was unanimously agreed
that the resolutions and proceed
ings of the Convention be request
ed to be published in the county
papers and in The FREEMAN.
The Convention was concluded
by an address from the Chairman,
urging every Prohibitionist to
work earnestly for the ticket and
cause. He said, in this reform we
want positive men; men that have

this city to one of the Washington evening
papers yesterday that after divorce had
been granted in tho Corporation Court, yes
terday morning, in the case of Mary A.
Carroll vs. Thos. Carroll, q reconciliation

The statement, as tappeared, was rs follows ::
Directly after tho divorce was granted tho
late husband and tho late wife went, each un-
known to the other, to get copy OF the divorce
Decree when they met tho old love revived,
and in few minutes they kissed and made up,
and now, it is understood, the minister will be
called to make second marriage, in a case where
both parties to the first marriage are still alive.
The parties did not meet under the cir
cumstances rs stated above, but they did
meet and dined togetherat one of the hotels,
after which they took leave of each other.
The divorce seems to have been by mutual
consent. Mr.. Z. paid half of his wfe's legal
expenses. Mrs. Carroll retains the custody
of the three children, one of whom is four
teen years old.
