The Poor Farm.

Surprise is expressed by the peo-
pie that no arrangements have ever
been made for religious services at
the poor farm. There are num-
Der of occupants there that need
religious instruction, and the coun-
ty should arrange for some Minis
ter to hold religious services at the
poor farm, once or twice n month,
if not every week. 1t seems to us
that our clergy should take this
important matter III hand until the
county authorities act. *A*

A Now TOWN,

Mr.. VIM, Stecnbergen has laid
off a large tract of land just across
from Gallipolis, on the river, and
running back and including the
Ohio River Railroad depot, and
has surveyed and plated it into
town lots, and will put them on
the market for sale in few days.
This is ono of the prettiest loco-
lions for town OH the Ohio river,
and the most of it lies above the
high water mark of 1884. The
new town will be known as CALI
polls Ferry. We hope the pro-
iectors of the new town may meet
with such success that they will
soon see one of the busiest towns
in this whole section. But we
must say that we do not think the
namo selected is an appropriate
one. Better have called it Elwell.

South, West and East.

Should The Secret Ballot BE AbolIshed3
South, West and East.
There u a quiet movement working 70
20 away with the secret ballot ana the
sooner the better. A contemporary calls
attention 10 the fact that in Honolulu,
Hawaiian Islands, Masons do not ballot
In secret. Each brother holds up his bal
lot In view Of the entire lodge before de-
posting It In the box. This appears to
equal the rule in some jurisdictions, where
the roll Of the members present Is called,
and each, rs his name IL called, arises
and answers And why not, say WEI The
man who is afraid TO tell how he votes in
Masonic lodge Is not fit to go to congress
or even to n caucus. Illinois Freemason.
The Voice Of Masonry says that more
than 66 per cent of the nonoffiliates arc re-
gained, and that at least 90 per cent ought
to be.
Masonry requires the practice Of all the
duties man owes to God, his noighbor, his
family and himself. 1t makes the holy
Bible the rule and guide of faith and con-
Duct and thus requires every Mason to be
just and upright before God and man.
The Eastern Star is pure and exalted in
It's sentiments, olevating in its instruo-
lions, founded upon ana d0duCOd from the
poblost and purost characters which adorn
the pages of sacred histoTy.-D. Ludlow.
Sir John G. Rhieldaffer is now grand
commander Of West Virginia Knights
Templars and Sir X. G. Darlington grand
recorder.
The Order Of the Eastern Star is In a
prosperous and healthy condition, with q
total membership of nearly 10000.
The elections in the grand lodge of Eng
land are for the offices of grand master
and grand treasurer. The other officers
are appointed by the grand master, and
these appointments are made for services
rendered to the craft, zeal in lodge work
