Editor -4dvance:
Everything here moves along in the even
tenor Of its way; no discordant notes crate
upon the ear; not ripple to mar the
smooth current Of our city's prosperity.
Building is being rushed lively just at
this time. Several fine brick blocks are in
course of construction in our business CEN
tre, and any amount Of frame buildings in
different parts Of the city.
The general health is good no calls for
Doctors.
We have had several fire alarms within
the last three weeks, engines promptly on
hand and the boys ready for business.
Only three buildings were consumed, how
ever, one stable occupied by D. George,
and another stable hard by; also DWELL
ing, and saloon attached to the beer garden
in the South part Of the town.
Our BARRIERS have lately had . war,
relentless war! 8. R. Knowles, q Du-
buque barber coming out ahead. He has
lately come here and 10 the best workman
in the northwest. The other BARRIERS,
with one excsption), wishing to drive him
from the town, prosecuted him for shaving
Sunday in violation Of the Sunday law.
The Jury brought in verdict Of not guilty,
declaring it necessary labor.
Temperance! temperance The ladies
of this city. in view Of the terrible condi-
tion Of things, ~ regards intemperance,
will hold mass meeting At the NJ. E.
Church on wednes h.y evening next, to de-
wise ways and means to save their hus-
bands, sons and -fathers, from the drunk
ards doom! What is our nation coming
too? Talk Of railroad nonopolies, Of tax
alton, internal improvement. They oil
dwindle into insigni6cance in comparison
with the temperance question: May .
breath from heaven sweep the valley Of
Wiaena and bid the slsepers arise God
bless the ladies, and may success attend
their efforts. SCRIBE.

SHocxoE Hit DIVISION, Sons OF TEN
PERANcE.-We have heretofore alluded to
the temperance movement in this city which
has been made by branch Of the Order
known as the Friends. The Sons Of Tem-
perance, however, are alike active. In this
connection it is proper to mention Shockoe
Hill Division, famous organization work
ing nobly in the cause of temperance. 1t
not only prides itself upon the number but
the naateriel Of its membership. Meetings
are rarely held without the initiation of
several members--men, too, of standing and
influence in the community. During the
last twelve months over one hundred names
were added to its membership, and of course
its treasury is in a sound condition. An at
tractive feature connected with this and
shared in by Harmony Division is library
stocked with temperance and miscellaneous
books and foreign and domestic magazine
literature. Edgar A. Poe was once mem
Der of this Division.
