DEAR JOURNAL; Should you call down
and see Us this winter you would drop the
title you gave us once, and would never call
us "Sleepy Hollow" again, for we are up and
dressed. Our mills are all running and pay
ing, too; while our merchants all say their
trade is good and that they have had no diff
Guilty in making their aymehts.
Our churches are well attended And last
night, notwithstanding it was cold, we had
rou-lnR good temperance meeting. Addresses
10y j. X. Osgood, Revs. Byington, Sheldon,
Crawford and others. TWAS thought by some
that the winter had come thus early that our
winter campaign might commence the earlier,
and things look cow as though the campaign
would be good lively one. Brother Osgood
is in harmony with our best citizens in the be-
lief that we need two kinds of suasions, and
that the law is now in the right direction and
that the people are prepared for its enforce
ment. And If our Sheritis and Deputies would
attend the meetings of the reform clubs they
would see for themselves that Maine Law is
more popular to-day than ever before and
that the men or set OF men who will prosecute
this law the most vigorously will be the most
popular among all respectable people. The
reformed men of Maine hope they are saved,
but should our government allow these re-
spectacle appearing hotels and drug stores to
sell so openly as they now do, or should it
give them a license to sell, no one can tell
what the result might be.
Our sleighing is fine and is being improved
by all who afford it, and by some who
cannot. Rev. W. II. H. Murray was here

giving. Murray enjoys 4 horse, if he can't
