An Appeal for Help.

EDITORS Argus.
The temperance reform work has pro
crossed more favorabiy than its most
sanguine supporters expected, and great
reform has been accomplished But
although much good has been done. and
many steady drinkers have been reclaimed,
there is other work in connection with the
reform movement that calls for immediate
attention. Many of those who have donued
the ribbon are 10 needy circumstances,
and find it difficult to get work. Their
past career of unsteady habits has lost
them the confidence of business men, and
although they are honest, and willing to
work, the cod shoulder is turned to them
and DO help received This calls for
the patty and active aid of all chris
tan men and women, and it is earnestly
urged that those who can give work to the
needy will do so. These reclaimed drinkers
are struggling against a life long habit,
they have undertaken tC face all associates,
and say mo- to all entreaties to renew old
habits. 1t is u hard task and should be
encouraged by every means within reason
To night the ladies give strawberry
festival at Negus' Hall for the purpose of
raising funds to accomplish this end. 1t
is hoped there will be a full turnout; that
everybody who can will 60 and contribute
the mite to the temperance cluse. The 9
is great amount of work to be done, don t
let it be said that Rock Island is behind
her sister cities. TEMPERANCE.
