The great trouble with the old
bummers who howl and spit cotton
Is there is scarcely anybody left to
ask them to "come, let's take a
drink."
The city council Monday evening
paeaei a resolution to the effect that
this city would decline to bear any
further expense in the railroad con
solidation cases now pending, and
that notice of this action be conveyed
to the county commissioners.
The proceedings of the meeting
held to organize a Red Ribbon Club
were furnished us too late for this
paper. B. M. Bailey was elected pres
ident, 03 the members Tuesday even
ing, and the first meeting of the club
willtelield in the M. E. Church on
next Monday evening.
Mr. Finch delivered eicht lec
tures for our people, closing Tuesday
evening. Seven hundred took the
pledge and pinned on the Ribbon,
And there are more happy mothers,
wives and children in Brownville
than ever before ; and the sincerest
prayer of their lives is "May my
husband, and my son keep the pledge
they havetaken.""
Monday just as we were passing
a Baloon, a young man with a red rib
bon on Juis -breast, came out of the
door. Some one who saw him come
out said, "I wonder if be went in
there to get a drink?" We could not
tell him. "We did not know. True
he carried the badge of temperance,
which was witness for him; but
then be had been in a saloon which
'was evidence against him. And we
do not know whether he was in there
breaking his pledge or not. We hope
aot, and advise him to keep out of sa
loons, thereby giving no cause for
-suspicion. Suspicion is damaging to
character although the suspeeted may
be innocent of actual -wrong.
Now 0035, having signed the
pledge, pinned the red ribbon on your
breasts, and thus made a public decla
ration of your intentions, we as one
of much experience and observation,
advise you to keep away from temp
tation, keep out of the saloons. Don't
go in there to play billiards or pool,
or even just to see what is going on,
or for any purpose whatever. For
your own sake and that of your
friende who might fall, give the sa
loons a wide berth. You have "turn
ed a new leaf," started in a new road,
let a true friend warn you that that
road does not lead to or through sa
loons. You have taken a manly
stand ; now by its firmness and dura
bility 1st it bo an example worthy for
pikers to imitate.

OBITTJAHTl7-
Died at the residence of David Wat
kins, in Glen Rock, on the 24th day of
January, 1379, Phebe McGrew, aged
about 76 years.
We have known Mrs. McGrew for
a number of years. She was a mem
ber of tbe Christian Church at Glen
Rock, and lived an exemplary christ
ian life until called to join the church
whose meetings are held around the
great white throne above. She leaves
a large circle of friends and acquaint
ances, besides several children and
grand children to mourn her loss.
The funeral services of Mrs. .Mc
Grew were held at the Glen Rock
school house on the 28th of January,
1S79, Elder Aulton of that church
presiding. After the ceremony the
mortal remains were conveyed to
.their silent home in Glen Rock cem
etery, followed by a large concourse
of friends.
Any words that we might add
could not more fully impress upon
the minds of those who knew and
loved her best, the Ios3 they have ex
perienced in the death of this christ
ian mother. B. T.

A lesson was learned at Marsh
Hall Tuesday night that will certain
ly prove most Balutary to our citizens.
When Mr. Finch was about conclud
ing bis lecture, a kerosene lamp,
standing just outside tbe entranceUyg Wculd speak kindly
aoor to tne nan was DroKen, tne on
spilled on the floor and saturating
some dirt that had been swept out, ig
nited. Then as the scarey flames shot
up for a moment, the vast audience,
of course became panic stricken.
Women screamed, some fainted and
there was a general rush to get out.
But cool headed strong men threw
themselves in the way of the pressing
crowd, and kept the people back
from rushing into the narrow stair
way, well knowing that in that lay
the real danger of the situation.
While John McCabe and others held
the crowd, others stood upon the
seats trying to assure the people tfiat
the flames would at once be extin
guished, and others Bausfield, Me
Naughton and other heroic men, took
off their coats and whipped out the
flames. In the front and along the
walls of the hall panes of glass were
broKen out, and some had they not
been prevented would have jumped
from that third story to almost cer
tain death. We are gratified to be
able to say that here the frightful
scene ended no one killed, no one
hurt badly, except Mr. McNaughton
who had one of his hands quite se
verely blistered and his hair and mus
tache singed in his attempts to stay
the fire and being pushed into it by
the orowd. Now the lesson. The
one we learned impels us to the reso
lution to never again take our family
into a orowded audience in that hall,
wicn us present limited means of
egress. And we advise everybody to
resolve the same thing. That audi
ence had all the experience, felt all
the terror, fortunately without fatal
results, to fully appreciate what
might have been, and the reflection
of what the terrible, indescribable
loss of life would have been had those
flames been unconquerable, or had
the men, women and children broken
through and jammed themselves into
the narrow stairway, othera leaping
from the windows, which would have
been the case last Tuesday night had
not the fire been subdued at the mo
ment it was, presents a picture so ap
palling we will never again repeat the
experiment, and men who will again
lead their wives and children into that
old trap are simply fools.
We understand that the gentlemen
who have the hall in charge have the
privilege of altering, improving
and remodeling when they see fit to
do so, and that they will at once go to
work to make a place for public meet
ings that will be safe, with ample
means of speedy egress in case of fire
or fire alarms. In this connection we
would call attention to the law perti
nent to this subject, and advise the
managers of the hall to meet the law
ful requirements at least.
Since writing the above the hall
managers have visited us and said
Ltbey have arrautrementa nnur m,do
with architects and builders to re
model the hall j that the floor will be
let down on or taken out so that the
second story floor will be the hall floor
and will be reached by one broad
stairway, other ways of escape
will be made, etc. Good. That
is what the people want to hear. Thfs
work will be done at once and will be
ready for use within two or three
weeks.

schools, i? a shame.
It Is easy now for those who
would run saloons in this city to com
prehend the situation. Publio senti
ment has changed, and the closing of
all saloons demanded. If they cannot
be closed now, they will be shut up
at the expiration of the present li
cense. Those who are not forced to
cIo9 for the want of customers will
close by the force of law. The tem-
peranoe men and women of the oity
will at the nearby spring elections see
to it thtt no man will be a city official
who is not a pledged anti-lioense
man. Ihis is the duty of the tem
perancepeople who have at the ex
pense oftime and money inaugurated
and carried on this reformation to
save the'fallen and the falling, this is
a legitinate part of tbe movement,
and thb they will do. The temper
ance piople are not moved by the
spirit o'vindicativeness they would
crush Jo one merely for the sake of
the ensh ; but in answer to a great
humaiitarian demand in behalf of the
many, the few who stand in the way
are rspectfully invited to get out of
the vay as gracefully as they may, or
of nacessity be swept aside by the
stroig arm of sobriety, justice and
riglt.
Vhile we 6peak of tbe retailers
planly, as we speak of everything
els? tbat we have occasion to Bpeak of,
for, except
ing theirbusiness, we have only feel
ings of friendship for them, believing
them to be generous, kindly hearted
men. The have gone into the busi
ness of retelling liquors because the
lawsustained them in It; and because
many draok there appeared to be a
public denand for places to drink.
But to-da5 tbey, or some of them, are
satisfied tlat this want of the people
has been satisfied, that saloons are not
longer wmted nor needed to satisfy
and gratiiy a large class of men, and
they wodd close their doors if they
could get rid of their liquors, or had
their license money refunded. We
have no suggestions to make for their
benefit, bare, excepting that tbey get
out of tb business tbe besl way they
can, and as eoon as they can, antici
pating th event of even more foroible
circumstinces than exist at present.
A temperance lecturer recently
made the following sensible suggest
ion :
"Barkeepers in this city pay, on an
average, $2 per gallon for whisky.
One galbn contains an average of
sixty-five drinks, and at ten cents a
drink the poor man pays $6.50 per
gallon for bis whisky. In other
words, he pays $2 for the whisky and
$4.50 for a man to hand it over the
bar. Mate your wife your barkeeper.
Lend her$2 to buy a gallon of whisky
for a beginning, and every time you
want a drink go to her and pay ten
cents for 't. By the time you have
drank a gallon she will have $6.50, or
enough rioney to refund the $2 bor
rowed of you, to pay for another gal
lon of liouor, and have a balance of
$2.50. She will be able to conduct fu
ture operations on her own capital,
and when you become unable to sup
port yourtelf, shunned and despised
by all respectable persons, your wife
will haveenough money to keep you
until you get ready to fill a drunk
ard's grava."
Tecumseh Chieftain: An ex
change intimates tbat in Brownville,
to avoid the license, the dealers freeze
tbeir whiiky, run it into molds, and
sell it by the stick. Brownvillians in
this respect are ahead of other vil
lains, who dispense with the molds,
run the whisky into human forms di
rect, and then let the form, whisky
and ail freeze or burn out to suit
the temperature of tbeir sleeping
apartment.

Elder Aulton has been preaching
at the Glen Bock school house every
evening. Since the funeral service of
Inst Sabbath he has endeavored to
show the people tbe beauties of the
gospel of Christ, but without any suc
cess. So far, no one has taken warn
ing from the beautiful truths that he
has given them. As he tells us of all
those thing3 that most concern us,
we still reject them. Well, when we
come to die and eternity shall present
Itself to our serious thoughts, then
things will put on another face, and
those things which we valued so
much in this life will then appear to
be worth nothing; but those things
which we negleoted, to be of infinite
oonoernment to us and worthy to
have been the care and endeavor of
our whole lives. And if we would
consider these things in time, while
the opportunities of life and health
are before us, we might be convinced
a cheaper rate, and come to be satis
fied of the vanity of this world before
we despaired of the happiness of the
other. There cannot be a better prep
aration for death and eternity than a
good life.
Plenty of places to go the pa3t
week. Preaching, singing school,
spelling schools, etc., have filled up
the time well.
Famers may be confident of a
good fall wheat crop the ensuing sea

from this on. Owing to the drouth
last fall the acreage wa3 not so large

Yes sir, that's so ; T. L. Hallam's
mill Is in full blast, at last. He Is
now prepared to do better work than
he was before. His machinery is all
of the best and latest style, and he is
making good flour, and we think that
farmers will find It to their interest to
patronize him.
And, by the way, do not fail to
call on J. Gill at once, for goods at the
very lowest price. He keeps a select
stock.

That the winter of 1877 and '7S was
one of unusual mildness, every one
will admit; but perbaps it i3 not so
well known that it bad no precedent
since the winter of 1815-16.
All close observers must have no
ticed that tbe summer of 1878 bad
also its peculiarities, and in many re
spects equaled by that of 1816. For
illustration, we will present a bird's
eye view of the last winter mention
ed, and also of the summer following,
as is found on record.
The year of 1S16 was vulgarly term
ed the "year eighteen hundred and
starve to death." The month of Jan.
of that year was so mild tbat even
in tbe New England States fire was
scarce ever needed except for culina
ry purposes. February, though some

that latitude. The weather through
March was also very pleasant. The
first half of April was warm, but the
latter part of the month was more un
favorable, and in the month of May
theflower3 in the gardens were frozen,
and the young corn in the fields was,
generally, all killed. In June, frcst,
ice, and snow was of frequent occur

the depth of ten inches during a sin
gle storm. On the 4th of July fire
was rendered comfortable, and on the
5tb ice was seen as thick as window
glass. Occasionally a field of corn in
a favorable location was not killed,
but generally It was all destroved.
while the farmers in the north part
of Ohio found It more agreeable to
wear their overcoats even in the har
vest fields. In the month of Aucust
snow and ice was frequently seen, not ;
only in the northern, but also in ,
some of the middle States. What'
little corn did escape wa3 cut up for,
stock feed. The first two weeks off
September furnished about the warm
est weather of the season, but the last
