The Good Cau,~ Pro~pers.
Indications Of ! general and extended re.
v''al OF the tho good old temperance cause,
in Red Wing. are apparent to all who are
posted in the matter. Within short time,
. great change has taken place in the public
sentiment, and many persons who have
heretofore been the bittsrsst enemies Of the
the temperance movement, are now ranked
among its most ardent supporters. At the
last regular meeting Of tho Red Wing lodge
|of Good Te'nplars, about dozen new mem
bers, comprising some Of our most promis-
ing young men, were admitted, and will
hereafter exert their influence to crush ou,
that invidious destroyer -intemperance.
Then speed on tho work, and rest not, till
the =" worm Of the still' is driven from our
torders. We are informed that the services
|of an able and eloquent gentleman Of our
|city. have been secured to deliver ser;ss Of
temperance lectures during the winter.
