was discussed at length by Mr. Poutius

Gen H II. Artz was present and fol-
lowed hr. Pontius. He devoted a good

We argue with them and we defeat their
arguments. As \ last resort the preacher
says, All, well, it's q good thing for you,
anyway. You should not work all the
time. Six days shalt thou labor and on

goes right ahead and reverses his own
teaching by resting six days out Of the
week and working one.

The evening meeting was held on the

present
Mrs. Semple read an extract from her
forthcoming book society" It was
quite lengthy, and its literary style was
really fine. The extract was q severe
criticism of the present funeral custom.
It deplored the spirit that leads the be-
reaved and their friends TO make SO sad
a burial ceremony. The house should
not be darkened, friends should not
weep. flowers should not all be white,
songs should not be sad; there should be
the customary good cheer. Not revelry,
but at least no mockery of sorrow. Why
allow death TO cast its shadow over lief
The dead themselves would not wish IT.
All unnecessary expense should be-
avoided Why so cater to the foolish de-
mands OF society to enrich the burial Of
the dead as to impoverish the living for
months afterWardsf
The reading called forth good deal
of commendatory comment In his re-
marks on the subject Moses Harmon
said:

before you, 1 hope you will see to it as

To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL.
In your issue of the 18th, yesterday, ap-
pears what purports to be portion Of
my speech delivered at Warrens burg,
Mo, on the 9th inst. You published this
under these words, sShut out the
blacks" And you published a sub head
under in which you say, "Overmyer says
the voice of colOred men should be sup
pressed" The telegram published by
you says / created sensation by saying,
sOutside Of the negro. whose ignorant
voice should not be heard in this gov
eminent 50 far as legislation and voting
is concerned, the Democratic party out
numbers all other parties" etc. Now,
the fact is 1 created no sensation and
said no such thing.
The entire telegraphic statement pub
lished in your paper is a gross perversion
of what / said. And the above passage
in reference to the negro Is an absolute,
umitigated lie. I made no such state
ment concerning the cOIored people, and
did not even use the word negro at all.
1 do not censure you for publishing this
as it appeared in other papers also, and
you Of course published the telegram as
you received it, but it il nevertheless to-
tally false. Yours truly,
DAVID OvERMxER.
