Mountain State Patriot

From the Field Worker.

I spent a few days preaching at Springdale and working for Prohibition. M. E. Guire and J. W. Lowry decided to read the Patriot. Nov. 11 I went to Look Out, in Fayette county, where H O. Boley had published the appointment and we had an excellent audience and fine attention in the Baptist church. Spent the night with John Kincaid and family, old friends of the Field Worker, and the next morning spent some time with the public school taught by Prof. Ramsey and his assistants.

The 12th I went to Winona, talked to the school, and to the people that assembled in the Baptist church. There was a fine interest. F. M. Blazer decided to read the Patriot. And a number of women took a great interest in the work. I spent the night in the home of Joseph R. Hisey, cashier of the bank, who was for several years a pupil in the Sunday school class of my sister, Mrs. C. R. Miller, in Edinburg, Va. His good wife was also a friend of my sister and her family, and it made the time go very pleasantly.

Saturday and Sunday 13, and 14 I spent at Powellton. It rained all the time, and the audiences were small, but the people that came were interested in the message. John Alderman and family stand for state and National Prohibition.

Monday I went to Charleston to see the Attorney General, and get an opinion as to the election law. He was absent in Pittsburgh, Pa. but the people in the office were very courteous and promised to have him write the opinion when he returned.

The same evening I went to Elk Ridge to find that my appointment had not reached them. Spent the night in the home of A. T. S. Thompson, who is a straight Prohibitionist, as is also his good companion.

The 16. and 17 I spent at Robson. The people turned out and took an interest in seeing America made a sober nation, and I showed them how it can be done in 1916.
