| Rev. J. M. Wood has recently
moved his family to our place, and
we hope that our people, who are
more noted for their iberalitys
than for their religion, will see
that the hearts of the minister
and his family shall be made glad
on Christmas day. We would also
ask them to remember in their
kindness Mr.. Garrett, of the
Christian Church, Mr.. Carder, of
the NJ. E. Church, and Mr.. Lemon,
of the M. E. Church, South. Your
love offerings can be deposited
with Miss Emma Griffith and Miss
: Brooke Buskirk.
i On last Thursday evening the
Band of Hope met at the School
House. The Band is under the
especial management of Miss En-
ma Griffith, who is splendid pre-
siding officer. Her heart is thor
oughly in the temperance cause,
and her remarks at all times are
, attentively listened to. She is a
, pretty speaker and her words are
: evidence of the sincerity of her
heart and of her devotion to the
5 best interests of her Juvenile
band. Short addresses were de-
!. livered by Revs. J. NJ. Wood and
!. J s. Lemon and Messrs. G. NJ
Turley, A. S. Kelley, J. G. Alder

q We welcome the West Virginia
! Methodist to our exchange list. It
a is a neat seven column folio pub
e lished at Barboursv Vile, w Va,
every Saturday with Rev. S. G..
. Preston as Editor. While we like
1 to see the Religious Herald and
e the journal and Messenger upon
the table of our Baptist friends,
and the Richmond Christian Ad-
! vocate and Central Methodist in
) our Methodist families, and while
, , we hope that the circulation Of.
these great christian weeklies may
: +, never grow smaller, we are spec

Banner and the West Virginia

cry member of their respective
{ denominations in West Virginia.
. Our public school at this place
J. will close next week. Our teach
ers Mr.. A.. S. Kelley and Misses
' Emma Griffith and Mollie AL
: dredge, have given splendid salts

8 one hundred and twenty-five pu-
! pills, with an average attendance
4 of ninety-seven or so per cent.
y We think it is the intention of
4 Mr.. Kelley and Miss Griffith to
continue the school Gas private
: one, provided a sufficient induce
4 ment is given them, which we
q hope will be done. No village in
\ the State can boast of brighter
! boys and girls than we have here,
and their advancement in every
way within the last four months,
: has been remarkable. We think
!. that it is duty which the parents
i, owe. to their children to retain
!. our present teachers, and we also
) think that their influence upon
) the community at large will justi-
IS fy those who have no children to
9 subscribe literally to get them to
n continue the school during the
winter.
