hibition.
Saturday last found I'VE editor
in Keyser Camp Ground to take in
the general engagement arranged
to come off at that time in that
part of the West Virginia Amend
ment battle field.
1t was a beautiful day. but the
hoped for multitudes failed to come.
There ought to have been two
thousand people there, considerir &
the big gems and splendid supply
of ammunition on hands for the
fight. However, the battle opened
in these beautiful woods and the
noise OF the skirmshing brought
on the general engagement that
grew in volume as the days came
on.
The meetings at the Camp were
presided over by Rev. F. G. Parter
pastor of the Keyser M. E, Church
who was most happy in putting
in the right words at the right
place at all points.
The Silver Lake Quartet of
New York, did the singing as on
other quartet can do it, and the
address and talks were by Rev. T.
G. job pson OF Charleston, Rev. G..
W. Mead Of the Quartet, Miss
Jennie Smith and Mrs. 8. II. Mar
tin and Mrs. Black of Maryland.
The speeches were all on the line
of the Amendment with songs to
suit, and the audience increased as
the afternoon came on and in
growing enthusiasm made up
largely for the lack of numbers.
A delightful noon hour was
spent about the lunch and refresh
ment tables, provided by the w. G.
T. U. and all in all it was good
day, closing with $25 collection
for the w. G. T. U. in their Amend
ment work.
Saturday evening there was

Partsr, Mrs. Hoffman declared
what was doubtless the ablest and
most heart stirring Temperance
address ever heard in Ksyser.
Her theme was the Legacies Of
the Liquor Traffic to future gener-
atoms, and as she eioquently pre-
sented these lsgaoies of disease,
crime, wretchedness and woe, with
thrilling incidents andil.ustrations
the great audience was deeply
moved, many weeping in sympa-
thy and pity for the children of the
great legalized curse.
The good seed sown ut this meet.
ing, and copiously watered With
tears as it was, will bring forth .
large harvest for Prohibition.
All were invited to come and
hear Mrs. Hoffman and the Quartet
again on Monday night, but the
writer was not permitted to stay
for this grand meeting or the SER
les. He had to HE himself home
on the night train to see that the
FREEMAN went out on time.
During these meeting there was

A Grand Rally.

In the Court House yard, were
more than a thousand people as
sembled for the evening meeting.
The Keyser Band did the generous
and gallant thing by marching to
the ground and with splendid mu-
sic helping to swell the great audi
ence.
The singing and speaking was
from the Court House porch, to the
large yard full of people below.
Mrs. Clara Hoffman, of Missouri,
who arrived on the evening train,
presided at the meeting with most
happy tact and grace, keeping all
in good humor and whetting the
appetite of the audience for each
speech and song.
Rev. 7. c. Johnson demolished
the sham Notifications of License
and Regulation, while Rev. G. H.
Mead led the direct charge on the
enemy to spike their guns and
save the boys. The great crowds
stood for nearly two hours enjoying
the rich songs and listening eager
ly to the stirring speeches. After
the meeting the ever busy W. G. L.
u. served ice-cream and cake
among the trees in the beautiful
grassy grounds. This meeting
abundantly insured the success of
those to follow.
On Sunday at the Y. M. G. A.
Tabernacle there were two

seemed, by nearly all Keyser. The
