After going through with the regu-
lar roll of business the meeting CLOSED
to hold the next session at Cairo, or
the third Friday in September, 1873
The object OF the District Lodge is tc
compare work, report progress, sug'
gest ways and means for the advance
ment OF the temperance cause and mu-
tual benefit OF the organization.
AZ seven o'clock p. m. the members
Of the order assembled at the SchooI
house, formed in procession, and, with
the Ellenboro Cornct Band in lead
marched 10 the church, arriving at the
church in good order, having made
perfect success Of our march, which
did credit to our organization. The
public meeting was then opened BY
some splendid singing by the choir
under the supervision OF Bro. Jen'
kins and Sister Moore, and prayer by
The Rev. S. d. Thompkins. Rev. I,
Nj. Hartley then explained
the object Of the meeting, and
introduced the Rev. S. d. Thompkins
who did justice to the subject, by set
ting forth in a telling speech, the
tru h, showing the destructive inilu'
ence Of intoxicat;on.
Gen. A. S. Core was then intro
iuced, making some very favorable re-
marks in behalf Of the cause. Rev
<. c. Wayman then set forth, in
clear and convincing manner, the evils
OF intemp france and alluded to II e
common objections alleged against the
organization, called the Coco
Templars," and showed very satisiac'
torily their absurdity. The meeting
was then closed BY few remarks by
Rev. 7. NJ. Hartley. The order OBJ
served at the meeting was good be-
yond expectation.
We believe the whole occasion was
Il success in favor Of the cause and its
friends; and the impressions made
upon the minds OF many will not BIZ
easily erased. W. a. SRIcKLER,
