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.

Normal 4th vs. Ashland N. and S.
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.
