The Merchants Carnival.

The entertainment given in the
Opera House Tuesday evening, under
the auspices of the ladies' of the M. T..
church, was a great success. The
hall was crowded, and the exercises
very pretty and entertaining.
The program opened with pa
rade of sixty little girls dressed in
white, followed by the Logan Male
Quartette in an excellent rendition of
ssThe Bells" The various business
interests of the town were advertised
by Misses costumed in accord with
the business and carrying banners
proclaiming the business represented.
The girls all looked very pretty. and
each did honor and compliment to
the business she advertised. The
Hooking SENTINEL was represented
by Miss Amy Armstrong, one Of our
most accomplished Democratic girls.
She was costumed in dress of white
crepon, on which was printed this is
sue of the HoCKING SENTINEL; dis
playing attractive advertisements
from our live, enterprising business
patrons, ard proclaiming sound, dem
ocratic doctrine on sheen of
silver in letters of gold. The
other city papers were appropri-
ately represented. A delightful fea-
ture of the entertainment was the
"Bug,e Song" by the Misses Florence
Hamblin, Lutte Jones, Hattie Tritsch,
Ethel Wh:tcraft, and the "Swanee
River" by the Mesdames Bailey,
Weitzell, Crawford and Miss McCray.
The recitations by Professor Groves,
the promoter of the scheme, were
very weak, feeble,-failures. He
has no voice nor manner for such
work. He gave two dialect recita-
tions in Yank and Dutch, "Catching
the Mouse" and s'Setting Hen"
His characters were foolish and he
made a miserable failure in showing
them so. We suggest the next time
this "Feature" is on the program to
put the Mouse uEder the Hen and
set himself, and say nothing.
The tabieaux was not very good,
but this was due more to the lack of
stage appointments, than the ability |
of the actors.
The ladies having the matter in
hand are to be congratulated on their
success, and we hope to have from
them, other entertainments equally as
pleasant to US all and as proftab lie |
to themselves as this has been.

MURRAY CITY.
MURRAY CITY, MAY

MURRAY CITY, May IL, 1886.
May 17th. in Murray City, was a
day long to be remembered. There
is, as You do know or should know, a
series of meetings being held here at
the NJ. E. Church. They are being
conducted by w. H. Wilson and
George Pake, of Marsh6eld, o. The
meeting has been in progress for two
weeks past with good results, there
having been, up to date. about sixty
conversions, with the meeting still
in progress. On the l7th the K. of
P. boys turned out in a body to at
tend church. They we're joined by
the White Ribbon club of the NJ. E.
Church and the Rathbone Sisters.
The procession was led by the Muir
ray City Silver Cornet Band, and
was about 800 yards long, making a
very nice display. Having reached
the church they found everything in
waiting and large audience to greet
them, the sexton having resesved one
half of the church for the benefit of
the X, of P's and their friends. The
band occupied the gallery and rem
dered excellent music.
Brother Pake addressed the audi
ence on ''PythianIsm," delivering a
very good as we'll as touching address,
Bro. NJ. Robb made few very ap-
propriate remarks, after which the
meeting was conducted by Evangel-
list Wilson in his usual interesting,
impressive and convincing way. Let
the good work go on. A,A

MEMORIAL CHURCH SERVICE
At the U. B. Church in Logan, on
Sunday, May oath.

Last Sunday, the usual Sunda,
church memorial service of the G. A
R. and w. r. c., was held at the U
B. Church.
The church was handsomely deco
rated with flags and banners. Pic
lures of heroic soldiers adorned tn,
walls, and flowers in profusion beau
titled the chancel.
The religious exercises were undes
the direction of Rev. Wright, resi-
dent minister, assisted by DR.. Moore
of the Presbyterian church. The
choir sang beautiful, touching anc
appropriate hymns.
The address of Rev. Wright wa!
a masterpiece of eloquence, and ii
lofty patriotism and devout christi
anity, heroically and tenderly ex
pressed, can not be excelled by the
best pulpit orators of the country
He preached from the text, Psalms,
Lx-iv: "Thou has given a Banner
to them that fear Thee, that it may
be displayed because of the Truth"
Heapostrophlsed the Flag and told
what it meant; displayed for truth
and justice and Righteousness, I'M
ploring his hearers, the men of the
Grand Army especially to stand by
the Flag as an emblem Of sobriety as
we'll as patriotism, and maintain its
white in purity and sobriety with as
Jealous care as they do the blood tint
stripes of battle red. He called on
the youth to learn the lesson of pa
trlotism and love of country from
their fathers, and love of home from
their mothers, these loves combining
to animate the heart and inspire the
mind make the ideal Man, Christian
loyal to his faith, his country and
to himself.
Mr.. John L. Yonker, of Maxville,
a battle scared veteran, victim of
Andersonville, good and gallant and
earnest man in every walk of life,
made very touching address of the
sad ravages of war, horrid and heart
less in its prosecution, but tempered
and blessed by the tender care of wo-
man whose ministry on bloody field, sti-
fling hospital and starving prison pen,
tell like benedictions from the hands
Of the Most High. He paid beau
tiful tribute to the ministry of the
Sisters of Charity, and appealed to
the good women among US now in
The war which the demons of drunk
enness is waging, to help with caress-
ing hand and holy prayer the totter-
ing old soldier to stand straight on
his feet, steady to meet the charge
and ready for "inspection" at any
until "taps' of the eternal
night calls to rest and ''relief."
The members of the Grand Army
and the ladies of the Woman's Relief
Corps, attended church in body,
under the direction o. their respective
officers. The church was crowded to
overAowing, and many were present
who could not obtain entrance.

A HIT! A HIT!
A Literary Curve.-The Sentinel
Not In It.

We copy from the Journal-Gazett
of last issue the following straigh
throw at us, in about as curved Eng
lish as generally gets into print.
"The HoCKING SENTINEL is ignor
Ing base ball this season. The man
agement has not been able to fine
any one to do the pencil act for then
free of charge and the Democrsti
money market is in state of chaos
that is, there is dearth of the Ions
green at the sanc;um of our cOntem
porary, the SENTINEL, thus prevent
ing them from engaging the service
of base ball reporter" :"
This is high complimentary men
ton, the very straight truth, but very
crookedly told.
We are not going to employ Bass
Ball Reporter. This industry doe
not yet command such attention from
the patrons of the SENTINEL as te
require the altogether Play of idle
ness to share our valuable
space, or any valuable at
ttention. If dollars dropped in
our Golfers free and unlimited from
the clouds. or paved the streets in
gold, grew long green like leaves on
the trees, we would not employ at q
price, base ball reporter. Wemigh,
pay penny day for such talent as base
ball reporting displays, to act as a
scare crow for potato bugs, or fresh
bait for suckers when grub worms
got scarce, but to write for the Sen
TINEL runs and hits and throws Of a
lot of fellows who couldn' or wouldn' t
hoe corn or do days work in any
useful line-oh no, we have no money
to pay for such imbicility as thinks
it smart to report for the papers, such
stuff as that.
When the boys Of brain and Drawn
have game Of boeing corn, when the
Industrious young men swing the
competing scythe, when Labor holds
and W ork counts the. score
and Industry umpires the game, the
will send its most brilliant
talent to report the game and pay
him for his work more good money
than the base ball reporter would
bring at an auction for relics of the
antedlluvian apes.

MEMORIAL DAY POEM
THE BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD.

The muffied drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and lalien few.
On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards. with solemn round,
The bivOuac of the dead.
No rrmor OF the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled thoughts at midnight haunts
Ofloved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrow's strife
The warriors dierns alarms,
Nor braying horn or screaming fife
At the dawn shall call to arms.
The shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banners, trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shroud-
And planteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neIghing troop. the flashing blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge, the laundering cannonade.
The din and shout are past
Nor wars wild note, nor glory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more shall feel
The rapture Of the fight.
Rest on. en- balmed and sainted dead!
Dear as the blood ye gave,
No impions footsteps here shall tread
The herbrge of your grave.
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallov ed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's voiceless stone
In deaths song shall tell,
When many q vanished year hath flown,
The story how ye fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters blight,
Nor times remorseless doom,
Can dim one ray OF holy light
That gilds your glorious tomS.
