SONS OF TEMPERANCE.
Visit of Hon. Jonathan Parsons
to Our State.

This old order of Temperance is
now a reality in West Virginia.
Before the war, the Grand Divis-
ion Of Virginia was among the best
on this continent; and there are
many workers in this State now
who got their Temperance training
in the Sons or the Cadets. A few
months ago Rev. Mr.. Wilson of
Union, Monroe Co., organized some
Divisions, and several weeks ago
the Executive Committee of the
National Division sent Hon. iona.
athan Parsons, P. G. W. p, of Nova
Scotia, Canada, as their agent to
to second Bro. Wilson's efforts and
help organize the Grand Divisiom
of West Virginia.
Mr.. Parsons gave US call few
days ago and the following facts
connected with his visit, efforts
and success. He came to Monroe
county, January %, and spent the
first week in visiting the Divisions
established there and giving pub
lie lectures. A Division was Or
ganized at Wolf Creek. Last week
he lectured, Monday at Charleston
and organized Division Tuesday,
at st. Adams and organized a Di-
vision; Thursday, at Winfield and
organized; Friday at Buffalo and
organized Saturday at New Haven
as a Lodge Of TemplarsG nactive)
was located there he babe them
"God speed" and strongly advised
them to become active.
The new Grand Division will be
probably at Charleston
on Wednesday, March 7th, by
Eugene H. Clapp, Eco, Of Boston,
M. W. Pr S. Rawling, of Balti-
more, M. W. A., Mr.. Parsons and
others from the East and E. J.
Morris, P. M. W. P. Of Cincinnati,
General Carey and others from the
West.
Mr.. Parsons left this city on
Monday afternoon and proceeded to
Greenbrier and Pocahontas coun-
ties where he delivers a course Of
lectures this week, as follows:
Mr.. PARSONS APPOINTMENTS
Lewisburg, Tuesday, Feb. IA.
Frankfort, Wednesday, Feb. 49,
Williamsburg. Thursday, 16
Academy, Hillsboro, Friday, II.
Huntersville Saturday, Is.
The following two weeks he wiil
be in Eastern Virginia, in the VAL
ley and around Richmond and
Norfolk. The two weeks succeed
ing 9th Of March he will be in the
northern and central parts OF our
state and along the Eastern Pan
Handle, after which he may be in
Delaware andMaryland for month.
Mr.. Parsons gives no uncertain
sound respecting Prohibition, and
is vigorous in his efforts to arouse
the people to go to work immediate,
Iy if they wish to carry the CoNsTI-
TUTIoNAL AMENDMENT with a rous-
ing vote next November.
We advise everyone to hear MIR.
Parsons in his lectures. He lays
matters very plainly before his
auditors and by illustration and
anecdote holds his hearers for an
hour without any difficulty. In
size and appearance he might we'll
be counted West Virginian; but
as he belongs to Canada and is not
connected with our parties or poll.

There's ship gone to sea with a lu'llng mo.

Listen, baby, listen 10 me,
Whi'e we are drifting out 10 sea,
To the ilutter Of rose leaves on the ground,
Roses open 10 fall apart;
To the patter OF dewdrOps never found,
Pearls that come from mothers heart.
There, are many sweet flowers IN the valleys
lowly
There are two little vlolets hid from sight,
There are beautiful strains OF a cadence
holy
When the apgello choirs sing their sweet
goodnight.
Sleep, my babe, nor listen 10 me,
For thou hast drifted out TO sea,
And the flowers no longer behold the sun,
Niolets slumber In dreams held fast;
For the Ship ls In port. the song ~ done

SENATOR MORGAN made the very
conservative suggestion, during yes
tcrday's debate on the Fisheries
Treaty, that the President had better
withdraw the treaty until the politi-
cal campaign had ended and the
Senate was in a proper frame of mind
TO consider it dispassionately and
honestly. The President is not the
kind Of man to do any such thing,
but, if one thing is more certain than
another, it is that the treaty will get
nothing but partisan whacks this
summer.
