 The Sons of Temperance held their quarterly election of officers on Friday last Mir. Walter K Peck was reelected W. P We are unable to learn from the members whether there was contest about the chaplaincy or any other import art office, but such things might happen. The division shows constant and grati- flying increase in membership, much in- terest, and regular attendance on the part of the younger members Much of the recent success of the organization is due to Mir. E. G. Roberts, who was it's chief officer for four terms in succession, until October last, and who is always in his place and taking an active interest in its proceedings. If all the older members of the division, and all those who are in- terested to keep their sons out of our nu- merOus saloons, were equally energetic. practical temperance in Litchfeld would be a still greater success than it now is.
