The several districts of Augusta county
will hold meetings. within their territorial
limits, on Saturday next, to appoint dele
gates to the Congre Sional convention for
l. ne 10th district, called to convene on the
18th of September at Lexington. 1t is to be
l4oped that there will be full att ndance
s.S each of these meetings. 1t is desired
THAT there shall be fair and honest express
zion OF Republican sentiment in the dele
gates who may be chosen, to the end that
afere shall be no just cause OF complaint and
lao provocation for any other than harmo-
nlous feeling when the result OF the DIS
trict Convention is announced. we be-
lieve the Republicans CAL hold the 10th
district if they act together. but not 9TH
erwise. and it should be the aim OF every
Republican voter to SO use his influence
and his vote in the district meetings, as
10 assure the selection of delegates VINO
will consider first the interests OF the par
Nv. and leave lesser matters for another
accession, if needs he. when the questions
involved are of lesser moment than
those before the country now.
The meetings for the several distFlcts
will be held at the following places, each
on Saturday next at o'clock

The meetings for the several wards In
Stanton will be held in the Police Court
loom at 81 O'Clock p. N.
In several of the districts, the places OF
holding the meetings may be inconvenient
for the voters of the more distant pre-
aincts, but the Importance of the mattef
10 be acted unon, should be regarded as
sufficient to justify little sacrifice OF
Iime. The business before each meeting
sgiia not necessarily consume more than an
Hour at most. as all that it will be essen
slal to do will be the election OF delegates,
and these should be chosen from the rep
resentatiye men of the several districts
Ae hope there will be full attendance at
each, and harmonious action and satisfac
tory results.

The Grand Has "Lost in London" Tonight
and Mrs Potter Friday Night.
Concerning Mrs. James Brown Potter's
appearance in Brooklyn, a paper of that
city says: mo more brilliant audience
ever gathered in Brooklyn than that which
witnessed the initial performance of Mrs.
Potter al the Brooklyn theater last even
ing. The body of the house was we'll
filled by members of the Amaranth Ora
matte Society, who were in the theater be-
fore the curtain rose, and set an excellent
example to theater audiences in general
Mrs. POtter's first night in Brooklyn was
an undoubted success. She did not prove
great actress, which, indeed, no one ex-
pected. She did appear as rarely grace
full woman, beautiful of face and figure,
and tolerably at ease upon the stage after
the first few trying moments. Mrs. Pot
ter's long society training has taught her
how to pose, and her acting last night in
critical situations was intelligent, graceful
and at times forcible."

THE ELks REQUESTED
To Repeat Their Recent Entertainment
This Time for the Benefit OF the
Thomas Mitchell Hospital

To Repeat Their Recent Entertainment
This Time for the Benefit of the
Thomas-MitcheiIH Hospital.
SPRINGFIELD. O., March 20, 1888.
Mr.. D. 7. West and Oficers and Members of
the Order of Elks:
GENTLEMEN:-In building and furnish
ing our city hospital the board of hospital
commissioners found, on the first of the
present month, they were without means to
keep 1t running until the first Of July, this
being the earliest date that we would re-
ceive any funds from the city. We then
concluded to get up few entertainments
by home talent. the proceeds of which were
to be given to the benefit of the hospital
Mrs. r. T. Brandon kindly donated
her services and gave concert
on the first of March, which
yielded US the handsome sum
OF 1870. This sum was sufficient to
pay all the debts of the institution to that
date. On the 14th, 18th and 10th of this
month the Sons of Veterans rendered their
services and gave three entertainments of
the drummer Boy of Shiloh, the proceeds
of which go into the treasury of the hOspit-
al fund. But we are still short Of funds
to carry us through to July 1st, and by the
middle Of May we will be compelled to
close the doors Of the hospital. This we
would regret, as we are doing i great and
good work, as the unfortunate people who
have been cared for there can testify. We
therefore, most respectfully request your
noble order, in behalf of suffering human
ity, II you would not kindly repeat the con-
cert your order gave for the benefit Of the
Associated Charities, and donate the pro-
ceeds of the same to the benefit of the city
hospital. We assure you gentlemen il you
can comply with our request it will be ap-
preciated by the hospital board. and you
will receive the prayerful thanks of the un-
fortunate sufferers that are cared for at
that institution. Respectfully,
o. S. KELLY. President.
