The committee entered at once

an invitation TO inspect Camden

placed at the disposal of the com
mittee by the Pittsburg and West

offered by those interested IN the
development Of that section, in
Guiding 100 acres of land. The
committee then visited Tunnelton

place offered 100 acres of land.
$1,000 in cash and $4,000 feet of

extremely anxious to secure the
prize and offered 1856 acres of
land. and $4,000 in cash. These
visits together with various minor
inspections and the regular duties
of the members of'the committee
consumed the greater portion of
the year and a report was about
to be made when propositions

"A DAZZLING Possibility
FOR CLARKSBURG.

A great opportunity for Clarks-
burg to add largely to her moral
and natural interests was pre-
sented by the action of the an
nual Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church of West yir-
ginia held at Grafton September
90. 1893. For some time prior to
this the desirability of an assem-.
bly, grounds after the style and
ultimate magnitude of Mountain
Lake Park as a sole institution
of the West Virginia Conference
had been fully recognized, Agi
tation of the subject first bore
fruit in the submission of the
following preamble and resolu.
ton which was unanimously
adopted
WHEREAS Camp meetings,
when conducted in manner con-
sistent with the Son of God, have
resulted in the awakening and
conversion of sinners, the sancti-
fication, training and develop
ment of believers; the training
Of the ministry in theology, homi-
letics and evangelic methods and
in general, encouraging pastors
and people to obtain the Pente-
costal fullness and growth in
grace and spiritual favor, there
fore be it
Resolued That a committee of
five brethren shall be appointed
by the chairman, whose duty
shall be, first, to prepare a plan
upon which to organize and con-
duct a Conference camp meeting.
Second, to investigate the sites
that may be available and suita-
Bile for such purposes; and third.
to report to the next session of
our Conference the plan thus
proposed and the result of their
Investigations, together with such
recommendations for the action
of Conference as they may deem
advisable.
Pursuant to this resolution the
following committee was appoint
ed to investigate sites, &C., and

clARKsBuRG's OPPORTUNITY
This much is told to impress
upon the minds Of the people Of
Clarksburg the importance Of the
enterprise and as preliminary to
conveying the information that
Olarssourg may have tins Assem-
bly, located in her immediate
vicinity with comparatively little
effort. The Conference partial
to Clarksburg on account of its
central locationand various other
advantages and strongly desire
an offer from this locality. A
member Of the committee has
thoroughly inspected a large ter
I'ritory in the vicinity Of this place
and he is certain that a site
superior to any yet inspected can
be secured within two miles Of
the town, and he now hopes 10
hear from the people on the sub.
ject.
The natural advantages of our
surroundings will not be sufficient
to secure this institution and a
substantial offer must be made
or the more liberal offer of some
less advantageous location will
have to be accepted. The Con.
ference will expead over $4,000
in Improvements the first year.
These improvements will consist
of an auditorium seating 1000
people; a large summer hotel,
&c and prospects point strongly
to the erection of a very large
number of cottages the first year.
The rail road companies have
signlfied their desire to aid the
enterprise in every way possible
even to the building of a track to
the grounds and the erection Of q
fine depot there.

writer, who is evidently, either,
a seeker after cheap notOriety or
else a malicious meddler, with the
affairs of others, bases his claim to
public notice, through our columns,
upon a senseless attempt at Witt
cism, made at the expense ofTexar-
kama and her people, with the burn
ing of the negro rapist, Ed Coy, as
the theme of his malevolent jest,
He suggests that a monument be
erected on the spot to emblazon the
deed, of which no doubt() the city
and her people are justly proud,
there being few cities, says this
immaculate(O moralist, chat can
afford to cremate a negro" Thus
by despicable inference and COW
ardly inuendo, does this self-appoint-

whose true character and actual
conditions he knows as little, as he
evidently does of propriety, decency
