The Ashland Advertiser. Revival /Teetings Closed. Published Every Wednesday. The three weeks’ revival in Ashland closed last Sunday evening with results gratifying to all concerned. Most of |he meetings were held in the M.E.church, but the last three of the series were held in the Chautauqua building, which was crowded full each night. According to the count made Sunday evening, 123 converts were present at the meeting, while many having left Ashland to spend the holidays else where, it is safe to state that nearly 150 conversions were made during the re vival. Sunday evening, all the converts were given an opportunity to choose their local pastor, and it was pleasing to note the readiness with which they re sponded to the call. The majority of them will unite with the M. E. church, while the Presbyterian church will re ceive the next largest number of new members. A free-will offering to E. A. Ross, the Evangelist, was taken at the close of the meeting. The amount re ceived was about $130. Mr. Ross and wife left Ashland on Monday evening’s train, amid a shower of thanks and praises bestowed upon them by the grateful people of our city. nonarch of the Amateurs. v y —-TivT") E ditor , . . !'

The fourth football team of the Nor mal, and the teams of the Ashland north and south schools played a match game on the depot grounds last Saturday af ternoon. While the players were small, they put up an interesting game, and the crowd heartily cheered them. From start to finish, the town team had the game all their own way, which can be accounted for by the fact that their w eight was much in excess of that of the Normal boys This throws no discredit upon the Normal boys, however, for they made many creditable plays, and would have been a match for a team their size. Seven touch-downs w’ere made and four goals were scored by the Ashland boys, making a total score of 36 points. The Normal boys failed to score any points. There seemed to be a dissatisfaction about the game and the Ashland boys on the grounds challenged the Normal boys to play a “large game.” This game resulted in a score of 44 to 0 in favor of the Normals.
