AS announced in last weeks HERLAD,
Capt. McKelvey, the temperance lecturer,
had another meeting at the Town Hall
Friday evening. 1t was one of the worst
nights of the season for people to get out,
and yet there was a goodly number pres
ent. The speaker commanded the closest
attention of his audience, during his reci-
tai of his personal experience and exhor-
talions to the Incorporate to reform. At
the close of his address he read the pledge
adopted by the Reform Clubs Of the State,
and invited those present to come forward
to the stage and sign it. 1t was evident
that there were many present, addicted to
the use Of liquor, who were "almost per-
suaded" to take the pledge Of total absti-
hence, and it only needed that some one
should lead off. One by one some dozen
or more came forward and affixed their
names to the pledge, avowing thei deter
mination to keep it faithfully. BY vote
of the meeting it was decided to organize
a Reform Club, and Committee was ap-
pointed by the Chair wig reported list
of officers for the organization az follows:
PreSident-R. w. Bailey.
