perance down In Tennessee, as our readers
are aware, have commenced battling for the
Maine Law, and they have gone to work in
real earnest, and with 1 zeal and energy
! thst knows no defsat. From every part Of
the States comes the good word that THE
PEOPLE are rising in their might, determined
to have the Maine Law. Bro. Sneed writes
US such an encouraging letter, that We in
sert it almost entire. Read it, brethren. -
"Your noble little sheet is doing Its
work here. Wewant more light--a little
more Grape, Captain Bragg, and the day is
ours. The Temperance Ball moves stead
lily on; our Banner with the inscription,
Total prohibitions floats proudly on the
breeze; numbers who are dram drinkers
common drunkards and occasional drunk
ards, are declaring in favor Of total prohi-
bitiOn, and the Sons and friends Of Temper
ance are coming en- u'asss to the polls, de-,
termined to vote for no man for Governor,
or members to our next Legislature, who
does not declare himself avowedly in favor
Of a prOhibitory law, We consider pro-
hibitOry law paramount to all other cOnsid-
eratiOns Of legislative action, and will vote
for the candidate who best meets our views
irrespective Of party, You shall hear from
me again SOON, ACceptmy best wishes for
your future prosperity and success in the
noble enterprise in which you are engaged.
May the principles you advocate finally
triumph" We thank Bro, s.; for his
kind wishes, and hope that the Organ may
ever merit and receive the patronage of such
noble temperance men as him and his CO.
labOrers. H os-.,i

Bro. John Paxson, Walnut Grove, o., $ll
for Organ. BrO.P gives usan interesting ac-
count of meeting held in his town, which
we regret, for want of room, we cannot in
sert. The meeting was ably addressed BY
DR.. ]. Holmes and Lady, on the merits Of
the Maine Law. Mr.. G.. W. Wright then
addressed the meeting in opposition, 70
which the good DR. replied, in shOft. per-
tinet address, completely demOlishlng the
arguments Of his opponent. A vote was
then taken-thOse in favor to raise to their
feet. All rose up, save Mr.. Wright, and a
liquor vender, and two others. Mr.. W., we
have no doubt, thought he was in bad COM
PAM. We would have thought SO any how.
A vote of thanks was rendered to Mrs.
Holmes for her efficient address. Being
satisfied with their own town, they desired
to know what was going on in other parts
of the State; hence their clever subscrip.
tion acknowledged above. b. t' ,l'.
Bro. M. Lewis, ChilliCOthe, o., 50 fol

such may be the fact. 'l

and nothing short of that will satisfy us
We are bound to vote for Maine Law men
and if Wings and Democrats do not give u
such men, we will take them out of our owl
party"
