Correspondence OF the Argus.
We are having nice winter wealth
er now. The snow was about nine
inches deep, but not quite cold
enough to make good sleighing.
A protravted meeting is in pro-
gress at the NJ. p. church here and

The school here will close in two

go to church, we think they had

AN OPEN LETTER.
To Mr.. John vinton Potts, Kingwood.
West. Va.

Dear Sir, greeting TO you accord
ing to St., Matthew 8: Al. in reply
to your open letter IN n late issue
Of the ARGUS would SAY, that you
interfered with my time in the
Evangelical church ut GAINESVILLE,
on January, 9TH A. ID. 1894, the
injunction from the court only
grants you the privilege Of using
the church when not occupied by
us, We were using the church on
that occasion IN series Of meetings
and it would have been an act Of
christian courtesy on your part had
you consulted me first. instead Of
bouncing to your feet aud leaving
your appointment az the same hour
that | was to preach as though
had no rights that you were bound
to respect, this is not the spirit Of
Chnst. 1t is the spirit of Eesherism.
You have made yourself odious
to great number of respectable
people, by treachcy and decit, why
did you tell certain brother over
on Pleasant Hill that | was a bad
man? Why did you circulate other
disreputable tales about me which
you cannot substantiate? Are you
sir acting out the spirit Of Christ
by resorting to methods contrary to
the word Of God to destroy my work
and influence on Preston Circuit?
Sir, If you have the spirit of Christ
why do you not go on in the name
OF the Lord and do all the good
you can and leave me alone? am
doing the Lords work the same as
any minister, and who gave you the
authority to judge my motives?
Before you undertake to Judge
my motives see to it that your own
heart is right in the sight OF God
and read very carefully Matthew
9TH }: TO 9th verses inclusive.
Aud while you accuse brother
minister of telling lies be very GER
tain that you are not looking into
the mirror instead Of out OF the
window.
Hoping that you will profit by
these kind saggetions, l am very
respectfully, Wilson Lewis.

AURORA.

Correspondence Of the Argus.
One of tho most melancholy dis
asteTs that ever occurred i'm this
district, il not in Preston county,
was the burning Of the residence Of
Samuel w. Wotring, one mile
south Of here, and the loss Of his
two sons, aged SIX and twelve years
respectively. Mr Wotring has the
sympathy Of the entire com unity
in bis sad affection. The charred
remains we're laid to rost at Mt.
Carmel.
The snow that fell week before
last was we'll used by those persons
who had any hauling to do, aud as
the roads had been very muddy,
almost everybody had postponed it
as long as possible. 1t is said that
over one hundred sleds passed
Carmel on the 9Th inst.
On Monday night Of last week
there was a crowd Of thirty eight
people came here from Oakland in
sleighs. and on Tuesday about one
dozen persons returned the compli-

ment by going from here to Oak
land. They had good time and
no mishap, except an urset by one
of the sleighs and one horse ran
away before the party started, but
fortunately nobody was hurt. On
Tuesday night round dozen came
here from Terra Alta. IL the snow
had lasted, others had intended to
come from both places.
1t is reported that Mr.. Middleton,
who had owned and managed the
Brookside Hotel. has left Washing
ton, ID. O.. where he resided. and
the property has been sold to the
Messrs. Wright, Gather and sony,
also of Washington, who occupied
the Bayles property IN Carmel
during the summer OF 1888, and
they will run tho hotel during the
coming season.
Mr.. J.B. McGarey sold his farm
one mile west of Aurora. TO Jacob
Stemple, last week, and the same
day bought the form of Joseph
Painter, one mile north of Amboy.
MIR. Painter talks something of
leaving here, but it is to be hoped
he will remain, for he is very
industrious and quiet citizen.
The Brookside school, taught by
Mr. Lee III. Smith, closed on Fri
day Of last week. ms did the schoo
at this place, taught by Mr.. Howard
z. and Miss Nellie Stemple. They
were all successfully managed, as
are tho rest OF the schools in the
district, so far as can be learned.
Mr.. Howard Stemple has been
employed to teach the school at
Eglon, where they had been unable
to procure u teacher till now. Miss
kato Sisler, who has taught the
Snowy Greek school, will teach ut
Amboy, beginning this week.

at Ambey aud friends in Aurora on
the 3rd and 4th inst.
Mr.. j. D. Lantz expects to leave
this week for Lexington, KY, to
attend lectures preparatory to en-.
tering the medical profession.
The addition of one hundred ne "
books is. certainly commendable to
the members Of the Aurora Library
Association. They are all popular
works, nicely bound, and judging
from the way they are taken out
and returned, are certainly being
rapidly read.
