A correspondent from Campground
in Reynolds county, says: 1--WE are
now beginning the third week of the
greatest revival in the history of Rey-
nolds county. Forty-two profess to be
converted and sixty-fve sanctified.
Bro. Ramsey leaves for Kentucky to-
day. His place will he filled by Rev.
j. j. Smith and daughter, Mary. Sun
day fourteen hundred people were on
the ground. The Tabernacle will on
ly seat seven hundred, and for two
hours several hundred stood listening
to the words Of God as they fell from
the mouth of a man filed with the
Holy Ghost. Many come to the meet
ing with strong prejudice against the
Second Blessing theory, but soon, I'M
der the influence of the Spirit, are at the
altar trying to get the consent of their
minds to consecrate all to God. The
meeting will continue over next Sun
day"
The game between the Fat and Lean
mines came off last Thursday afternoon,
pursuant to notice. and was witnessed
by great number of adrniring Val
legians. Promptly at 2:3O the game
was called. and the Leans took the
hot hold
made. Then the Fats took their in
ming and won goose-egg. We can't
follow the game in all it's details, but
the outcome was "a to 8 in favor OF
the Leans. The day was numerically
hot and bore heavily on all who could
mt sit in the shade and keep perfectly
quiet. The Cornet Band turned out
and saluted each succeeding inning
with selection of appropriate music,
the programme with "See
the Conquering Heroes Got There"
We would like to make special men
tion of several things but couldn't do
it without being a little personal: we'd |
like to refer to Gays clicked stockings, |
Edgar's navy blue knee-pants, Blem-
els home run, Baldwin's black eye,
COley Hills stove-up finger, ETC., etc. 8,
but you can't 60 into particulars with |
out making somebody jealous. Then |
let it suffice that it was a great game |
grandly played, and witnessed with adj
miration. We understand that the
Fats are not going to ..give it up so,
Mr.. Brown" but will again tackle their
adversaries in the near fu-
ture.
On last Monday evening a heavy
cloud bank gathered in the northwest.
over Shepherd Mountain and Pilot
Knob. The good people OF this drouth-
stricken Valley eyed it anxiously, for
rains had been going north, east,
south and west of us for several days,
out had avoided the Valley in a most
manner. 1t looked like we
we're going to have a refreshing down.
alas! the old adage that
.all signs fail in a dry-time" was to be
terrified. AS the clouds approached
he Valley. the thunder became faint
,r. the lightning less vivid; the clouds
began to disappear, and. instead of
he refreshing rain so much needed,
|
'ast and west Of us rain appeared to be
alling in very generous quantities.
We were at loss for an explanation
II the phenomenon, until a friend kind
Y volunteered to enlighten us. The
rought in the Valley. according to our
racle. has caused the surface of the
arth TO become very much heated-to
vastly greater extent than the sur
ounding mountains. whore the sur-
ace is protected by the foliage Of the .
crest. This causes current of hot,
Try air to continually ascend from the
ALLEY. Hot, dry air absorbs mois- =
ure like sponge; consequently, when
cloud only large enough to produce
local rain meets this ascending cur
ent of hot, dry air, it is at once alb
orbed and disappears, or is relieved :
f its moisture to such an extent that =.
o rain falls.
