His Great "Holy Ghost Meetings.
at Ashland, KY.

The Ashland, Ky, Daily News prints
the following concerning Rev. G. B.
Strouse's meeting now in progress at
that place:
The meetings at the NJ. E Church.
South, continue with increased interest.
Long before the doors are opened people
may be sitting on the door steps or stand
ing about the church waiting for admis-
sion, hoping to get comfortable seats.
On Wednesday evening the auditorium
OF the church was filled. The audito-
lium and Sunday. school room when
thrown together have seating capacity
of about 800 Both are usually crowded.
The song service is fifteen minutes before
preaching. and Prof. Burnett, whose
voice Is so greatly admired, has charge of
this end is organist, and Miss Sallie
hampton pianist. Rev. Clarence b.
Strouse, the young evangelist, is an nc.
knowledged success. He attracts large
crowds, has peculiar manner of lis own
and expresses himself freely, but does it
IN manner not offensive, though he be-
lieves in calling things by their right
names. While the Bible says ''Let your
speech he always with grace. seasoned
with SALT" he does not interpret this as
many seem to do, as he does not call
black white nor white black. Policy. so
Tar MS it means deceit and hypocrisy, he
has but little use for, and no one can
hear him preach once ana come away
with the opinion that he has very much
OF what we term ''policy" in his makeup.
1t Is a rich treat to hear him; he is so
honest in all klS speech, and though the
darts he throws@trike deep, this is what
he intends. and lie is reaping rich har-
vests from his1friends
Prominent among the ministers who
have been attending the meetings are
Rev. Mr.. Boggs, pastor of the Presbyte
rian Church ut Catlettsburg; Rev. u.
Meek, editor of the Central Methodist;

THE CITY NEEDS HIM

To the Editor of The Times: Voters of
the First ward who want good business
man and an honest straightforward cit
izen in the City Council will find in ]. II.
Wilkinson gentleman who meets all
these requirements in every respect. He
has resided in Roanoke for ten years or
more and is thoroughly identified with
the best interests of the city. He has
made success of his own business, WHICH,
is the best TEST of the qualifications of
councilman, whose duty it is to look after
the affairs of the city; but, being too
modest to advance his own claims, he has
remained in retirement when his services
would have been of great value to the
people. 1t is not too late, however, to
give Roanoke the benefit of his experience
and sagacity. BY voting for him in the
Democratic primary tomorrow night and
electing him when nominated. II real,
tangible benefit will be conferred ON our
beloved city. Roanoke needs such n
man as j. II. Wilkinson at the head of
her affairs, and all who desire to promote
the best interests of the Magic CITY
should vote for Mr.. Wilkinson in the
primary tomorrow night as the Demo-
cratic nominee for Council from the First
ward FIRST WARD VOTER.

COWARDLY GREEN OFFICERs

London, May 3.-Belated dispatches by
way of Messone, province of Morea,
Greece, which evidently escaped the
Greek censor, have been received here,
and they relate the grossest incompetency
and the most fragrant cowariice on the
part of many Greek officers, including
Prince Constantine, in the whole cam.
paign in Thessaly. 1t is openly claimed
that in every case Prince Constantine
avoided taking part in any engagement
with the Turks. The effects of such con-
duct on the troops were naturally of the
most discouraging nature.
