The Moundsyllle Prohibition ASSEM-
bly, was opened last evening to an audi
ence of several hundred people. The
exercises were In charge Of Rev. c. II,
Mead, who has performed this duty ever
since there has been an assembly meet
ing on the grounds.
After his address the Daily quartette
sang several selections. Air. Daily was
formerly q member of the Silver Lake
quartette, but Its existence Is ended,
owing to one OF the members, Mr.
George Chambers, having died about
two months ago. Mr.. Daily has with
him his two daughters and one SON, and
their singing is fully equal TO the Sill
yer Lake quartette.
The first sermon was preached by
Rev. D. C. Babcock. D. D., Of New
Hampshire. His talk was great deal
on the prohibition line and he drew
many illustrations on this kind OF work.
He also made number OF remarks on
the war, all of which were OF the pa
triouc order and pleased his audience

This Fear the assembly building has
been decorated beautifully for the meet
ing and the speakers stand has been
considerably enlarged. The meetings
are sure to draw better, which is evil
denced by the large number OF families
now on the camp grounds.
H. Splllman Riggs gave q concert at
the assembly hall, which was attended
by about three hundred people. 1t was
given under the auspices Of the ladies
Of the camp meeting association, and
they cleared a neat sum by the venture.
The camp meeting association Is con-
sldrably In debt, owing to Its not maxi
ing expenses on former meetings and
the ladies on the grounds have assumed
n part OF the debt. On several occa-
sIons they have held lawn fetes and
other amusements which have always
netted them something.
At present there are about eighty
families on the grounds and new people
are arriving each day. There are just
1877 cottages on the grounds and they
will no doubt be occupied before the
first OF August Many of the cottages
have been painted the past week. which
adds very much to their appearance. At
the gates this season Squire A. L, Pei
ley is in charge again, while his assist
ant is q young son Of the ground keep
er, Mr.. Games. The rates OF admission
are the same as on former years.
To-day the Wesley n. z. Sunday
school. OF Wheeling, will picnic on the
grounds, and next Saturday there will
be another picnic given by another
school. Taking everything into consld-
Grafton the prospects for this meeting
are brighter than for any year yet and
the management expects a very sue
cessflIl meeting,
