Political Meetings III the Church.

Ed. Regtstar-Rev. Henry Clay Fleenor,o OF
the Fort Hill Church, announced last Sum
day morning that no more local option meet
ings should be held in that sanctuary; that
he, after careful consideration, had come TO
the conclusion that there was too much POI =
tics in connection with the question to make
it proper for discussion in the house of God.
That he is right in his conclusion can scarcely
be disputed by any reasoning person. When
the Local Option Committee applied to the
sheriff for permission TO hold meetings in the
courthouse, he said:
"Gentlemen, there Is an order on record
of the county court that the courthouse shall
not be used for any other than county pur-
poses and for political and school meetings.
Now, are the meetings you propose to hold,
political, or do they appertain to the public
schools?"
"Why, Of course, they are POLITICAL" an
swered the Committee; and the Use of the
court room was given them.
Now, if a Local Option meeting held iu the
courthouse is political in its nature, is it not
equally so wher held in church? The Rev.
Mr.. Fleenor's conclusion cannot be question
ed, and am sure will be eventually endorsed
by all right-thinking people, especially in
this Valley. Too many of our citizens re-
member the political meetings held in some
of the churches some twenty odd years ago
TO take kindly to them now. ALEXIS.

Beard--BarnliOuse.

One of the notable events in Ironton dur
ing the Holidays was the wedding of Mr..
Edwin Beard, of Lafayette, Ind, to Miss
Ada Barnhoase of this place. The REGIS
TER wishes them soy of "a consummation
devoutly to be wished" The following is
taken from the Lafayette Journal in this
connection:
Again Cupid has sent one of his love tipped
arrows into the midst of the Journal force
and its barbed tip found a mark in the heart

and intellectually acute members of the edi-

friends of the family, Miss Ada Farmhouse,
3 young lady of culture and the possessor of
many admirable traits, laid her hand trust
ingly, Onidingly in his and accepted he
marital command to love, honor and obey
unhesitatingly and cheerfully. The cere-
mony was performed bY ReY. w. T.-Nen, OF
the Ironton III. Z. Church. OF which. the

Mrs. Beard was handsomely attired in Ros-

Saturday evening grand reception will be
rendered tueln dt me fEslaeDce OF Levi u.

they will begin home life in a cosy cottage
awaiting them on North Filth street.
The simple narrative of one OF the most
important steps taken in life is not complete
without the relation of the wool of a romance
which ATTACHES to it. Mr.. Beard first met
his wife eleven years ago in a school room
on the West Side. There, while searching
for intellectual Advancement, they learned
a lesson which to-day elucldated unites
their joys,their hopes till death. All through
happy days they have been separated By
many miles of space. But, with the exeep.
ton of about a year, this chasm has been
bridged by spirited and pleasant CORES
pondence. The interruption of this delight
fuI communication was caused by mis-
placed letter, an occurrence that has form
ed the theme for more than one romance,
has Iebbed more than one life OF sunshine
But these years have passed noy apd they

fiicted about the head and face with some
kind of sharp instrument. The better
class of citizens disapproved the act and as
Democrats they feel very much ashamed OF
it. Mr.. Houser is not discouraged and says
that he is kindly received by the leading men
of the party, and that the Law Department
of the Interior has the case in hand and that
the parties will be surely brought to justice.
Mr.. w. l.. Grant, a prominent teacher of
the State, visited the school just before clos

work of the arithmetic classes was requested
to make speech to the school. Mr.. Grant
accepted the request and at the end of the
address, which lasted fifteen minutes, the
teacher and the school returned vote of
thanks and declared that it was the most
practical and by far the best fifteen minutes
speech they ever heard under similar eli :
1eszfnstances. Mr.. Grant made a speech at
Pflot Knob during his visit on ''Emigra ION

WO1nan's Fights According to Prof.
Vandiyer.

Ed. Register-Prof. w. D. Vandiver, of
Washington county, delivered a local option
speech at the courthouse last Friday evening.
His address was made up of the usual plaus-
iblliiles and suppression of the whole truth
that 90 10 make up the stock in trade of his
premises and deductions have nothing 10
say just now. The point that struck me
most forcibly was his declaration that the
women ought 10 be at the polls and demand
to see every voters ticket! and that no
geietts0aG1 would refuse to show his ticket
TO lady,! Now, 1 never asked Il neighbor
to see bis ticket at any elec ion, and Il he
were to demand to see mine, rlust | show it
to him? To ask the question is 20 answer it,
Without stopping to consider whether true
lady-such one as any good citizen desires
to govern mis- household and raise his sons
and daughters-without considering whether
she would so far forget herself and her place
as to do such thing, think / might vent
ure to refuse her, without losing either my
my self-respect, or my Difference
10 the sex in its place. Don't you, MI. Ed
itor?
AS TO Prof. Vandiver, be has the ear marks
of fanatic and is not a resident of Iron
county, and has nothing to do with her al
fairs. 1 think our people can settle their
home matters without outsiders interfering.
This is local option, and local brdia and
local UOteS ought to settle it. A VOTER.
