conclude that the former is working an

blow the old tyrant, Alchohal, as high as
kite We had quite an interesting
temperance meeting on Monday evening of
last week. The speakers we expected from
a distance did not get here, but we went at
it as though we meant something. Mr.. j.
Wesley Falls-the very popular school
teacher of our place-was selected as Chair
man of the meeting, and extended his in
troductory remarks into quite an interest
ing and profitable speech. Rev. Samuel
Logan was then introduced and gave us
one of his earnest and spirited speeches.
Policy dictated to the Committee manag-
ing the meeting, to keep back Rev. John
D. Kemp, to wind up the speaking. Being
called for he responded in his usually forci-
ble and argumentative style, showing the
wonderful evil that intemperance is work
ing in church and State, and society as we'll
as the home circle. The audience was
very attentive and quite large. Mr.. John
Shaw was then requested to unite his voice
in support of our good cause, which he did
in short but pathetic and well timed
speech, urging all to take sides with the
"cold water band" The meeting was dis
missed with the benediction by Rev. J. D.
Kemp; and the Good Temylars left the
field with their banner unfurled. determined
"live or did, survive or PERISH" to see the
battle ended on the "cold water" lire.
Accident.-C. Wesley Cooper, son Of J.

intense pain a great portion of the time
