/ was in Charleston Tuesday night;
heard a fine lecture by Rev. Mont
gomery, Evangelist. His theme was
"Home and a mans duty to Home"
He gave great credit to the woman of
the Home. He certainly praised the
women or mothers. He said they
should vote as they would always be
found on the moral side of every
thing. l also heard a fine lecture at
Morley by the Railroad Farmers Com
mission. They gave some good points
on raising melons and how to ship
them. They produced letters from
dealers in Chicago saying that they
must ship the large melons in one car
and the small melons in another; by
this they would bring better prices.
