Good Cheer From all Along
The Prohibition I.ines.

The Voices clergymen's fund has
passed the $4,000 point.
The Astors Of New York refuse
to rent any of their 500 houses to
liquor dealers.
A local option bill stands achanoe
of favorable action in the New
South Wales parliament.
The Indiana Prohibitionists pro-
pose to get into the field early.
Their State con invention will be held
March IA. Representation will be
two delegates for each county, and
one delegate extra fer each % votes
or major fraction thereof cast
for Secretary of State in 1886.
Fifty.seven petitions have been
introduced into Congress this year
as follows: For a National Com
mittee of Inquiry, thirteen; for a
National Prohibitory Constitution
al Amendment, twelve; for prohi-
bition in the District of Columbia,
thirty two.
There is q tremendous discussion
going on in West Virginia wheth-
er to organize the Prohibition party
or not until after the Amendment
Campaign. The Amendment will
be much more likely to carry If
West Virginia should give good
party vote this year.-N Y. Pioneer.
Local option votes in Missouri,
up to Jan. IL, had been taken in
16 cities and 60 counties. Accord
ing to the returns of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, 80 cities and coun-
ties voted for Prohibition and 81
voted against it. The aggregate
votes in these cities and counties
was 1913 $50, of which Prohibition
had net majority of $50.

til my wife shall be clothed with

the principle in our next National
Convention. We can never go

BUSINESS CONVENTION.
TO Build up West Virginia.

At meeting of the Wheeling
Chamber of Com MERGE, held Feb. !,
1888, the following action was
taken.
WHEREAS, The considerable In
crease in new industrial enterprises
in West Virginia, the building and
serious projecting of additional rail-
roads, the many unsurpassed natur-
al resources and cheapness of our
lands, furnish substant ial founda-
ton for systematic effort on the
line of State development:
Resolved, That the Chamber of
Commerce of the city of Wheeling
invite and urge the business men,
land owners and all interested in
the welfare of the State, to assem-
BILE in the hall of this Chamber on
the 18th day of February, 1888, to
mature plan to further attract
the attention of capital and of de-
siraole immigrants to the unequal
ed advantages offered by West Vir-
ginia.
The following members of the
Chamber were appointed a COM
mittee to make the necessary az
engagements for the convention C.

A &raightout Prohibition Republican
says his say.

CAIRO, RICHIE Co., Feb. IA, 'SS.
ED. FREEMAN
l am q straightout Prohibition
Republican, and think the best
thing the Republican party can do
is to endorse the Prohibition
Amendment and fight it out on
this line in West Virginia. if it
takes twenty years.
Let the rumsellers Of Parkers.
burg and Wheeling understand
that they can't dictate to or control
Republicans in West Virginia. So
far as Richie County is concerned
it is pretty generally understood
that temperance man will be our
next Representative. 1t would be
useless to nominate an anti-Amend.
ment man in either of the old
parties.
Temperance men in all the par
ties will do their duty in Richie
County in an unceasing battle for
the Amendment.
Our County has borne the curse
of the rumsellers of Petersburg
for 10 these many years, and they
now propose to rebuke these tyrant
saloon bosses at the polls. They
have reaped large harvest from
our citizens, already.
In the past twenty years it is est.
mated that the rumsellers of Par
kersburg have robbed our citizens
of not less than $40, 900; besides a
number of murders have been
caused in the county by the use of
Parkersburg whisky. Petersburg
rumsellers are dealing out damna.
ton to large class of our citizens
who either 60 to Parkersburg and
drink or order it by the jug full al!
along the railroad. Hundreds and
thousands of gallons have been
shipped to Petroleum, Cairo, Ellen
boro, Pennsboro and Toll Gate,
where our young men, from fifteen
to twenty five years old, come in
from far and near and carry it back
into Murphy and other districts
and drink, spree, gamble and fight !;
in fact there are number of vaga-
bonds living in Murphy district
who are at this time and have been
for years past engaged in unlaw-
fully peddling whisky through
the county which they regularly
receive from rumsellers at Parkers-
burg. These disgraceful scenes
have aroused our good citizens and
they now propose to embrace the
present opportunity of voting an
overwhelming majority for the
Amendment.

HALLS

There Is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed TO be ineurable. For a great many
years Doctors pronounced 1t a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced itincurable. Science has prov
en- Catarrh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. j. Cheney q Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure now on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to q teaspoonful. 1t acts dir
ectly upon the blood and mucus surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for circu-
lar and testimonials. Address,
