An extraordinary series of revival meetings is represented as being in progress at the Christian church at Addison. An encouraging revival is also in progress at the M. E. church there. Editor Vance of the Gallipolis Bulletin is in Washington pushing the claims of Hon. Irvin Dugan, of Jackson, to a Judgeship in one of the Territories. The effort to secure for him the endorsement of Senator Payne has failed. Wednesday night of last week Alderson Boster's storehouse, situated at Moody, Gallia county, was burglarized, but the loss will not exceed twenty- five dollars. Circumstances point strongly to one Charles Williams as having done the job. Williams has borne a fair reputation until recently, when it was found he had forged several saw mill orders and raised the money on them. Williams left for parts unknown last Thursday morning. Charley George a resident of Addison township, Gallia county, a young man of twenty years, enamored of a certain young lady and out of employment which prevented marriage and the care of a wife, became discouraged, one day last week, and took the morphine route to the next world. He left a letter explaining his conduct and claimed to know exactly what he was doing, naming those who should officiate at his funeral services. He leaves a widowed mother helpless. The young lady was also a resident of Addison township.
