Notes by the Way.
Amaorq the Unions on the B. & o.

To Mr.. Frank Burt's thoughtful
generosity, the w. G. T. U. of
Warrington is indebted for com.
Portable headquarters. The Prohi-
bition Club and the Good Templars
occupy the same building but our
white ribboners have it free o..
charge.
WARRINGTON LOYAL Legion.
A Loyal Legion laundering 43
with Miss Fannie Pritc GARD as
leader was organized at Manning
ton. Application will t,e made to
the board for the use OF the school
building. Supplies were immedi-
ately ordered, and We hope for good
tidings shortly fror this promising
band of Young Or usaders.
hANNINGT ON I. O. G. T.
There were II accessions to the
Good Templa rs Lodge in Manning
ton on the, evening of April 5.
Mr.. jerks. formerly Of Parkersburg,
manlpulf 4tes the battery in the
telegrar ii office at Warrington and
seems to be in charge of the instru-
ment. that connects with all the
line q of the Prohibition system.
I'ne w. C. T. U. have firm ally ia

PENNINGTON oRGANIZED-oUR GOOD
ID HELPERS.
i Our stay in Warrington at the
M. E. parsonage, was made more
| than pleasant by the kindly
thought and active aid given by
! Pastor G. J. Trippett and wife, to
forward US in our work.
But for the suggestion and prac-
tical assistance given by Rev. c. J.
Trippett there would have been
no organization effected at Farm
ington., Through his agency we
organized a small but hopeful
. Union differed by Mrs. Rachael
Burke, Pres, Mrs, F. E. Armesy,
Rec. and Cor. Sec., and Mrs. Matilda
Parish, Treasurer. We look to
Bro. Trippett to stand godfather
to this Union.
Mr.. B. F. Martin of Pennington,
became an honorary member of the
Pennington Union and offered to
pay the initiation fee of the first
young lady that would join.
A Loyal Legion will soon be
organized in Pennington. Mrs. Trip
petit has agreed to engineer it
through.
WILL COME TO THE FRONT.
No Union possessing one such
member as Mrs. Olevia Burt OF
Warrington can fail of its mis-
sion. Her courage and zeal comes
to us at this distance like a fresh
Whit of mountain air. We shall
be greatly disappointed if this
Union with its special advantages
does not shortly come to the front.
FAIRMoNT, THE BANNER UNION.
Fairmont's $50, at short range
and on a recount, number AZ regu-
lation members, perhaps in num-
bers the Banner Union of the State.
Neither is it lacking in good
material. They pride themselves
on their good fortune in having
Mrs. Nesbitt as President. Her
gentle grace and dignity as presi-
ding officer on the occasion Of the
Cough memorial service certainly
warranted their pride. We take it
she is able to hold the reins with
firm but gentle hand in the Union.
On this depends the success of
local meeting more than many of
our Unions have come to realize.
We had very pleasant meeting
with this Union on Saturday night.
From some cause the plan to organ
ize Band of Hope the next day
did not materialize. However, this
was no disaster, since there is abun-
dant ability in this organization to
go ahead without "helper"
THE MEMORIAL MEETING.
We were sorry not to be able to
remain during the Cough Memoir
ial service, but to catch the Eek
press" to come home to sick child,
we left III the beginning of the
meeting. Much more do we regret
that the tender-footedness of some
