Several Teachers In tho City Schools

Somewhere in the Deghborhood of
twenty teachers in the Central and other
city schools have had their heads together
for the past few days and look aud act mys-
teriously disguised. The cause oil this is
explained By the attempted fra ud of man
who claimed to be agent for popular
encyclopedia. They state that he called on
them, aud after telling his business he
asked each of them 70 write their name and
address in mis- book and he would call and
see them in reference to the matter This
was readily sssented to and they looked for
him 10 call, but he came not. Several DAYS
after the books, of which there are ten in
each set, at 81 each. were delivered TO those
having placed their names in the book.
Then came another man to collect the sub
scription price, so, but this was refused by
one and all, and now the fraudulent agent
proposes to sue the teachers for the
amounts, which he claims are due him.

DEAR Mrs. JOHNSON Mrs. Nc.
Clurkin visited our town last fall
and organized a Union; but owing
to protrscted illness in the family
of our President, we Gid nothing
during the winter months, and al
most lost our connection with the
great and noble band of workers
known as the w. c. L. U. Still
our hearts were in the work and
when Mrs. McClurkin again cheer
ed our hearts with her presence on
the 4th of April, we were inspired
with new hope. We called to-.
gether our scattered forces, reor.
ganized, and have been earnestly
endeavoring to do what we can for
the cause which lies SO near the
hearts of-not only the mothers,
wives, sisters and daughters, but
Of every lover of freedom in our
dear Mountain State. We organ.
lied with 80 active and IL honorary
members. We have now A active
and 81 honorary members.
Miss Hutchinson, of Parkersburg,

and on Monday afternoon she met

ment. We regret that our Presi.
dent, Mrs. Harper, will be'absent
during the summer. She is an
earnest worker, and we feel that it
will be hard to fill her place but
we have been fortunate in securing
as President during her absence,
Miss Florence Slack, who has been
actively engaged in the work, dur
ing the past winter, and under
whose efficient leadership we hope
to do good work for the cause.
May God speed the day when our
fair land shall be freed from the
terrible scourge of intemperance,
and awhen the victims OF strong
drink may stand up as free men.
and when their motto may also be,
"For God and Home and Native
Land"
