EEIroRs ARGUS Il am not about to give your
readers glowing description Of mines and mining in
this section of the county, but the history of great
moral revolution, begun and in progress in our
community, and which speaks more for people than
all the wealth Of the mines could ever do. l allude
to the Temperance cause -Four weeks ago, Divis-
ion Of the Sons of Temperance was organized here,
which now numbers some fifty members, and this
number is being swelled weekly by new accessions,
from the bone and snew of our popuationthe miners
and working men. On Sunday and Monday eve
nings the reformed drunkard, w. B. Taylor addressed
our citizens in the school house and never did |
hear more eloquent or effective speaker in this
glorious cause Both nights, the house was crowded
to its utmost capacity, many being compelled to take
seats outside and the impression he has left in our
midst will result in great gaod to all who heard him.
Our groggeries here will find material falling off in
their receipts for all time to come and our streets
will be less frequently the scenes Of drunken rows
and fights. AT least it is to be hoped such will be
the case PHOENIX.
