DEAR MRS. JOHNSON:

1 had good audience at Hartford
City, but small collection. The W.
G. T. U. there have not been doing
much. Mrs. Harper buried her in
valid daughter last fall, and was
away at Chicago for five OF six
weeks afterward. She is an earnest
woman, but she teaches in the pub
lie school and keeps house too. So
of course, she is very busy.
tried to revive the work that
night. We got 30 names-11 gen.
tlemen and 10 ladies. l hope they
will push the work there, for it is
certainly needed just now.
A beer wagon comes up from
Pomery every week and goes around
just like a milk man would, and
they say even the little boys get
drunk. de claims he don't sell any
beer in Hartford, just delivers it ;
it is bought at his brewery in
Pomeroy. fthe men won't do any,
thing to stop it, the women ought
to take the matter in hand.
At Mason City I had small au-
dience. They said the bills were
not up till yesterday. suppose
they we're sent to the President.
Mrs. Cariens. She was not out
at all. The w. C. T. U. never did
any good there. I did not ask for
any names, but urged them to 90
to work. They have saloon there
now. Miss Mamie Jarrett should
take the lead there. 1 tried to per.
suade her to do 80.
Mr.. Kepler says the prospects are
good for a large audience here. The
l. .. &. T. is fourishing and I NAV
not be able to organize Union.
Sincerely,

Mrs. McCIurkin at West Union.

Mrs. McClurkin, State lecturer
for the West Virginia w. G. T. u,
delivered a lecture to the people OF
West Union in the NJ. E. Church,
Tuesday night. The lecture, which
abounded in good sound logic. was
listened to by greater portion of
the populace of the town. This Or
ganization is figuring largely in
West Virginia, and is doing more
for the temperance Gauss in the
State than all other organizations
combined. The ladies of the town
should establish union here, as it
would no doubt be productive of
much good.-W. U. Record.
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1888-04-18
To Local Unions.

We have suggested in this issue
to each State Superintendent that
instead of simply asking Unions
to appoint local Superintendent,
that she accompany the request
with an explanation Of the special
work her depart mentproposes to do !;
briefly outlining come of the most
practical and important features.
While or the t'ne hand we ex-
pressed sympathy with the Unions
especially the snail and new
ones--in view of the multiplicity
of departments that co nfront them
on the other We deeply appreciate
the Encouragement tina, must come
10 the State Superinten0 emit by the
discourtesy and indiEen snce with
which the local Unions s1t 'st her.
You can at least answer her let
ter--common courtesy d emands
this recognition. You csn xplain
to her your untoward environ ments
and if you are really desireus OF do
ing work you can carry out such
suggestions, as are practieab. le in
your community.
Too many Unions, satisfy IL ,eir
conscisnces by the simple appoi Mt
ment Of local Superinteade ut.
She gets no aid OF cooperation in
any shape. If she asks for hel o,
the Union cody informs her, 1T 8
not in its power to give it and !
washes its hands Of all responsible
itv in the matter. H.E
Indeed we know of Unions who
seem to- feel their duty is done
when superintendent is appoint
ed. She is not even asked how she
is getting on, or whether she is get
ting on. A department can noI
more operate itself without the aid of
the local Union than ruff1er can
gather unattached to the machine. |
If some of the Unions, who cora
plain of their lack of interest and
languishing condition, would un-
dertake to do just one thing in the
line of each department of work
they would find plenty to do and
no lack of enthusiasm. TRY 1T
Sisters.
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1888-04-18
To State superintendent.

If State superintendent, when
writing to Unions for the purpose
of introducing their departments
would explain to them the nature
of the work expected, and suggest
some of the things they would like
done they would be much more apt
to enlist interest and cooperation,
than by simply asking the appoint
ment of q Superintendent If
Many of the. Unions are small
and they are unwilling to make
their three or four faithful workers
Superintendent of as many differ
ent departments, but would not
hesitate to carry out a few pracsic-
al suggestions from each State
Superintendent.
Boil down these suggestions till
they come within the range of pos
sibility, and urge the local presi.
dents to have the Unions carry
them out whether they see the way
clear TO appoint special superin-
tendent or not.
We are free to confess that the
array of departments created by the
National Union begins to look
formidable to the State Organiza-
tion, and feeling Of sympathy for
weak local Unions impels MS to
urge simpli6cation and practica-
bilitv on the part Of State Superin-
tendents. We believe more work
would be accomplished, even if
fewer Superintendent were APP
pointed.
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1888-04-18
Do not Mistake Our Meaning.

We do not mean to discourage
the appointment of local superin-
tendents.
1t is always better where it is
possible to make somebody respon-
sible both for the doing, and report
ing of specific work.
We spoke in behalf of the many
new Unions, that are "babes
in the work" who hardly under
stand our object, much less our
methods, that they be not over
crowded in the beginning with divers
departments.
No Union can l5ve and grow WITH
out taking up some systematic aoork ;
but as rule, in the beginning it
is best to undertake a few depart
ments and thoroughly organize
them, then add such others as the
needs of the community demand.
Every Union ought to take up the
Juvenile al. | Literature depart
ments at ono !, because there are
children to Do trained, and public
sentiment to be educated in every
community.
Many Unions have no occasion
to appoint Prison, Fair, Soldiers
and Sailors, Colored or Rail Road
Superintendent because there is
no need for such departments in
their midst, on the other hand
many open doors are not entered
and much Gland is not possessed
because Unions will not take upon
themselves, the duty of doing the
very work for which they banded
themselves together.
These are facts, to some of US who
feel responsible not only to man
but to God, they are solemn facts
because they stand in the way O.
the growth of Unions and the pro
gress of the work. %

Miss Sampson Saves Clifton.

Every day brings new trophies
of victory to the brave W. G. I. U.
and surely none were, ever more
bravely won than that recently
achieved by Miss Simpson of Pt.
Pleasant.
A woman Saloonist of Clifton,
Mason County, applied for license
employing two attorneys to secure
the lawful authority to debauch
and destroy the youth Of Clifton.
The license was about to be gran
ted when Miss Simpson asked to be
heard and was allowed to speak.
Her plea for the home and children
caused a sensation that moved the
Court and paralyzed the advocates
of license, and as soon as she had
closed, the President of the Court
promptly announced that no license
would be granted.
The Clifton people at public
meeting rendered Miss Simpson a
vote of thanks for her courage in
saving the community from the
saloon curse.
Our readers shall have further
particulars of this brave sally and
signal victory, and doubtless Miss
Simpson will be heard from again.
Such spirit cannot be long pent
up.
