Editors Of the Intelligencer.
Our women have not lost, but seem to
be increasing their zeal and energy in the
work of temperance. Almost nightly
meetings are being held. All our drug
gists have signed pledges, and also all
our physicians. with the exception of one.
There are different opinions as to why
DIR. Holt does not sign. Two-thirds OF
our town perhaps have signed different
pledges, the spirit of which is the sup
preston of this evil, Our County Court
refused to grant license at its last session.
Our town election will be held soon, at
which time we will elect Mayor and
Councllmen. License or no license will
be the issue. l understand that men will
be put In nomination for these offices at q
mass temperance meeting to be held in

One of the leading citizens of this place.
and one who ought to know, informs me
that st least three of the saloon keepers
intend to stop selling with the expiration
of their license, which will be soon; vet
they have refused to sign any pledge.
In reference to the discussion in your
paper on the part OF Messrs. McMechen
Stewart and others in regard to street
praying, il seems to me that this per-
picked question was settled once in old
times, and If these gentlemen were as we'll
