THE UNION SERVICES.

Last week we gave an account OF the
Wednesday night Union meeting at the
Baptist church. the first of three ar
ranged by the two Methodist and the
Baptist pastors The two other SER
vices We're held on Thursday and FRI
day nights at the Baptist church. The
congregations at the three services
We're about the same and were as large
or larger than the preachers had ex
pected.
The theme that ran through the SER
vices was the Resurrection, the great
est of all subjects 10 the Christian.
Rev w. A. Gaugh, pastor of the Bap-
tist church, preached Thursday even
ing. His sermon was logically and
very helpful. The comments since
made by many of those who attended
this service are such as to show con-
clusively that the sermon had left its
impress upon them.
on Friday evening Rev. C. A. Bost-
wick, of the NJ. Il. Church. PUT the fin
ishing touches upon the series of meet
ings, and 1t is we'll known that he is
fitted to do this. His sermon was very
much enjoyed by the good sized con
gregation
Mr. r. T. Burns followed with talk
on the CrucifixIon and Resurrection.
Notwithstanding his four score years
and more, he waxed eloquent and show
ed much of his old time fire. The dis :
course was worthy of the close atten-
ton given throughout by the audience.
In thought and spirit these meetings
were entirely appropriate to the sea
son, leaving the hearers in proper frame
of mind for the Easter that followed so
soon.

BOOZE SPECIALS DISCONTINUED

AS harbinger of the new West Vir-
ginia quart month liquor law, the
Chesapeake & Ohio railway company
has discontinued the two booze spec
als which have been running daily to
the neighborirg oasis, Catlettsburg
The trains ran daily between Ashland
KY, and Cabin Creek Junction, w.
Va, and were heavily patronized by
the thirsty. The specials served also
to keep a great deal of liquor traffic
off the regular passenger trains.
Cancellation of the booze specials is
due in part to decision of the railroad
officials to operate two sections, of
Trains No. and No. 4. from Cincin-
natl to Washington. The additional
through trains were due to increased
mail and express business.
1t is now less than three weeks until
the new quart month law is effective
in West Virginia, and until that time
the thirsty will have to use the rcgu-
lar trains.-Herald-D Dispatch.
