Temperance Celebration at Dir
aeid, Juiy m, 1870.

Owing 10 reports regarding the small
pox at Dixield, the gathering there was
not so large as was hoped for. Bat some
800, perhaps more, were present and Ct
ioyed the day very much. Too much
praise cannot be awarded the Dixtield
Reform and Ladies Aid society OF Dix
field, for the efforts they made to have
au interesting and proiitably spent day
OF it. The arrangements under the di-
yecton OF a committee. Of which Brother
VIM. +. Eustis was chairman, were
complete. The grove, the speakers
stand, the seats. the swings. everything
right and just right. Bro. Eustis called
the meeting to order, made proper in
troductory speech. stating the order OF
exercises, aud gave the conduct of the
meeting to Bro Albert S. Austin. Presi-
den, OF the Dixield Reform club. In 8
neat speech he welcomed the people 10
the grounds and invited them all 10 q
part in all the exercises of the day. Bro.
Austin is model presiding officer. Bro.
d. p. Stowell conducted the religious
services. All united in singing America.
alter which the Declaration OF lndepend-
ence was read by Bro. John n Irish Of
the East Rumford club. Bro. Enoch
Foster, Jr., the orator OF the day. was
introduced, and made all present salts
fed, if facts, figures and truthiuly
drawn deductions would ever satisfy
them OF the necessity of the Reform
movement, and the great good that
must, will aud should come from it. He
spoke eloquent words OF encouragement
and cheer, defended the proposition that
woman'S place is in the work, in fact,
made q speech worthy Of "Oxford's
honored son." repleIe with good things,
sound doctrine, reference to past events
the men and women made notable for
grand works and deeds in ancient and
more modern times.
Brother Foster is rouser!" After the
close OF Bro. Fosters Grafton all repaired
to the tables. and truly "they were
properly clothed and provided" 1t is
no use TO try TO tell about the dinner.
Twas picnic dinner, but no better one
was furnished within the Province of
Maine" by any body this Centennial.
You cannot beat those Dixfeld and West
Peru ladies any way, and every effort to
do so is worse than lost, only as a matter
of experience and as an educator in the
culinary line. Good things enough and
to spare Yes yes yes
After the dinner, Bro. Eustis as toast
master, read the toasts.
lst. The Declaration Of independence,
responded by John n. Irish of the East
Rumiord club, not only in pertinent
speech. but by one beautifully eloquent
and we'll delivered, just as Bro. Irish
knows how TO do it.
The Reform Club OF Maine. Bro. q. S.
Kelley of Winthrop club responded, and
certainly every one went home feeling
that Bro. X. is power of himself to
move men 10 unite and remain true in
the work. No wonder the Winthrop
club is able to do wonders in the cause.
Bro. X. can do wonders in it alone. Elo-
quent in speech. he is more so in action,
and his appeals reach the heart.
