The Largest Temperance Meeting

The Largest Temperance Meeting
Yet held in our city, since the regular
meetings were inaugurated for Sab
bath afternoons, convened at the court
house on the 14th,-many could not
get in and left, whilst the seats we're
all crowded and the standing room
appropriated at the entrance and in the
aisles. We have never seen our peo-
pie SO generally aroused on this SUBJ
ject, and so deeply interested. They
are determined, should the Supreme
court decide the Baxter Law to be
constitutional. to see that the law is
faithfully executed, and to uphold and
sustain our officers in the discharge of
their duty. They see and feel that the
evils of dram drinking are growing
and they have resolved to check it. Ev-
cry good citizen is expected to do his
or her duty, to@dry up this source Of
! SO much misery and woe.
The meeting was opened with pray
| er by Rev. Hughes, and the audience
were entertained with brief addresses
from Rev. Gillian, DIR. Maxwell, Rev.
John Dudley, Mr.. Coggshell, Samuel
Brown and VIM Baxter. Their re-
marks were to the point, and, as one
after another of our old and promi-
nent citizens have slept forward and
shown by their presence and the ex-
preston of their views, and the pres
ence of so many ladies and young men
it convinces US that good is being
accomplished in creating a healthy
public sentiment against the drunkard
manufacturing business in our city.
The meeting adjourned to convene
to morrow in Lyoeum Hall, at4 o'clk
Let everybody come. William Bax-
ter will devote short time to the dis.
cussion of some of the provisions o.
the present law that have met with
objections from liquor-sellers and the
friends and supporters of their deplo
rable business Come and hear him
The street cars will be run to the
Hall from all the lines of the road
Let us fill the Hall.
