The Home Missionary Society of the
/ PRESBYTERIAN church held an unusually
| interesting session Wednesday evening.
| The 141st Psalm was the basis OF an in
structive talk given by the president,
| Mrs. Boyle. "Mormonism" was the
subject under discussion, and Mrs. r..
! Drennen read a splendid paper and sew
! eral other articles experimenting the
| leaders ramarks were read. A general
discussion by the members followed
| and many facts were brought out.
The Republicans of this county are
nearing a squabble on account OF the
! Gill Weems contest and they are haDle
to a clash before the campaign is over.
| The Weems men are doing the talk
! ing, but the Gill men know OF their ac-
tons and are preparing for the attack.
Every anti-Gill man is known. Go on,
boys, have your fun; but watch eni
see IL some heads don't fall before
President Roosevelt closes his adm MIS-
tration, as Papa Hanna is no longer
boss.
The st. Clairsville Chronicle, an old
Republican organ, which is scared 10
J death about the Ohio campaign, falls
all over itself trying to run down tie
| Democratic ticket. Yet not one word
| does this organ utter for better coun-
| ty government or a relief from taxa
/ ton made by Republican rule. II ia ls
to even say there will be relief II the
, Republican ticket is elected. Labor ng
men, remember this paid organ of the
| trusts failed to take the side OF the
Amalgamated Association in the strike.
They think nothing of the laboring
man, only when they can use his vote.
The Chronicle has its history, and its
schemes against the taxpayers is well
! known. Let It go ahead; it is making
Democratic votes.
The Masonic lodge of Martins Ferry
gave an elegant banquet to their mem
bers and families last evening. Those
/ who were not married brought their
sweethearts. The banquet was rather
an informal affair and the only special
programme was the elegant supper
served, which was fully enjoyed by all.
| The hall was tastefully decorated and
the banquet was largely attended. The
dining room was scene or beauty
and the tables were very attractive,
credit for which belongs to the ladies
who had this In charge. Thefbanquets
given by this lodge are always sue
cess, and 1t is most pleasant way they
have of giving all their members a
pleasant entertainment. During the
evening many addresses were made
and the occasion was one of the most
pleasant ever given by this society,
which is father to. all secret organiza-
lions. The lodge is to be congratulate
ed on the success of this occasion.
