Watti^ jected Reply To ''Mc." ~ Madison. Sept. 3. Mr. Editor If you will allow* me space, I should like to reply to "Mc's" article in last week's Reporter. I heartily agree with Mc in re stricting the sale of ice-cream and lemonade to the noon recess, and after convention hours. As to the pop and cigars, I am now as I was beforo the convention, bitterly op posed to the sale of them at such | gatherings. Mo is slightly mistaken as to the number of stands selling these tilings, as there was one of the three prohibiting the sale of pop and tobacco in any form. Now, > about the "tangle-foot" ( perhaps he should have said tangle-head, as ii' the head is kept straight the feet are n>t apt to tangle). We were very much surprised and I grieved when told by a young lady that she thought whiskey had | been sold, and we were glad to lind upon inquiry that there was ' none sold. Indeed we would pros ecute to the extent of the*law, | were wo to find the offender in such a case. Perhaps some of the j boys brought along their bottles ; and imbibed too much of the'fire water.'' which was very wrong in | deed, but over this act, the con vention had no control. As t i the base ball, no, no! what i kind of ball did Mo call it ? Well the Knollhurst base ball club have t-ieir ground near the church, and j always play on Saturday after j noon, and very kindly waited until •lear the closo of the convention service before they began to play ball. I hope the boys intended no disrespect to the convention nor irreverence toward God. I simply reply to Mc's article, i not that 1 favor anything which : tends to detract from perfect rev- I orence toward God s services, His ; house nor any of His work, but that I fear from Mc's article some j one may get the impression that ; our convention did no good. I feel """ Mint it did some good, though '">e obi ii» >rl » , « (l nfoSß i 1 TYLER LYNCH KILLtD IN W. VA Was a Son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Lynch, of Delk —Remains Shipped Home. Delk, Sept.
