with him tonight.
J. W. BODLEY,
HUGH STERLING.
As will be seen by the above telegram,
Rev. Sam Jones will arrive at the Mounds
vile camp ground early this morning, and
will preach to-day, tomorrow and Sunday,
as has been heretofore announced. Rev.
Sam Small is still at Urbana, and tits prob
able he will stay there during the re-
mainder of the week, thus going back en-
tirely upon his MOundsville engagement.
Yesterdays Cincinnati Commercial con-
tanned half column of the labor of the two
evangelists at Urbana, where they have
attracted enormous audiences. From its
special relating to Sam Jones sermon we
take the following:
sam Jones raised cOmmOtion in the
audience this morning by boldly taking
his position squarely on prohibition. There
is no disputing the fact that he stirred up
hornets nest and his usefulness, III
religious sense, has been greatly I'M
paired by the outspoken and uncalled for
meddling in the third-party prohibition.
He referred to Murphy i'll manner that
caused quite sensation. lie said Murphy
put one arm around the poor drunEard,
and the other around the rum-seller, and
denounced him for il. There was spirit
of dissent prevalent, and the dcmOnstra-
ton was marvellous, rs Sam said he would
rather risk his chances as PrOhibitionlst
out of the Church rather than take the risk
of non-partisan anti-ProhibitionlSt Meth
odist"
There were fully fifteen hundred peo-
pie on the MOundSville camp ground, yes
tcrday, and the disappointment at the fail
ure of Rev. Small To arrive was very Keen,
One can scarcely think that such men as
Rev. Hite and Mr. j, W. BOdley could be
SO dull rs 10 make such blunder rs Is I'M
puted To them by Jones. 1t was perfect
understanding the Association claim, and
. there is every reason to believe htm, That
Small was to have been here Oh the lith
and remain until the Goth, when Jones
was TO arrive and stay over Sun
day. That Small expected TO he here
is evidenced by his having his letters sent
to the M0undsyille pOstotlice. tie must
have undoubtedly changed his intention,
either on account OF mare money 10 he re-
allied from some other source, or from some
other AZ this time, unknown cause. We
are reliably informed that he wrote to the
PostmiStrcss at MOundSville asking to have
his mail forwarded Ia Urbana. The Gin
Cinnati papers advertise Jones and Small
to remain ut Urbaua over Sunday.

EphesianS, 18th chapter and Sd verse; The
Seal of the Holy Ghost"
At : o'clock in the afternoon Rev. {.
Polling, of South BuckhaRnOn circuit,
preached from the text found in John, 9th
chapter and Nth verse, "lie that believ-
eth on me hath everlasting life.
The evening sermon was preached by
Rev G.. W. Grimes, of EllcnbOro. The
words of his text We're: ''SirS, we would
see Jesus.
Rev. ITitc. at the close of the evening
service, made the announcement that sam
Jones would breach this morning at 1880
o'clock. This was based upon information
received by wire from Mr.. BOdley, and is
no doubt authentic,
NOTES.
Messrs Bodlry and Stirling are at Ur-
bana, O., looking after Jones and Small.
Seven Young ladies have taken possession
ola cottage here and all by themselves are
having 'pcrfectly splendid time
Before the clo5c of the evening service,
Dr. Smith gave one of his celebrated
talks. The congregation seemed TO enjoy
ii as we'll il not better than they did last
ycar
The practice engaged in by some young
people ofconsresalinY about The tabernacle

Gus language and unseemly conduct Is to
be dcplorcd.
Rev. DIR. Smith, formerly of the Fourth
Street NJ. f.. Church, but now of Buffalo,
y. Y, arrived last evening direct from
Chautauqua, and was expected To preach
at night, but he claimed to be too tired.
The hotel is very nearly full Of guests,
but the proprietor has made arrangements
1T the old hotel 50 that $50 people can yet
be accommodated. The hotel is in fine
shape, the table is well supplied and the
service excellent.
Mr.. J. NJ. Richards has splendid choir,
and the music rendered is from the new
song books Of Jones and Small. 4 little
more bass and tenor would add materially
to the choir aud il seems singular that out
of SUCH large number of people those
should not be had very readily.
Notwithstanding Jones and Small are
not here it would not seriously dctract
from the eniOymen: of the occasion, ii the
people would turn out and listen TO the
sermons preached by the earnest workers
whq are here and ready at all times to do
