Correspondence Of The True Northsrner.
A very fair number we're in attendance at
the business meeting Of the Temperance
Union, on last Tuesday evening, which was the
evening for the election OF officers SAID
election resulting as follows: President, G. ii.
Dunning; Vice President, Mrs. Coney; secy,
Mrs. Henry Straub; Treasurer, Mrs. W. T.
stocking; Chairman Executive Committee, Z.
]. Greenleaf, Of the Republican.
At the Sunday gospel meeting great dea'
OF interest in the cause was manifest In some
excellent remarks by j. r. Edwards, Esq, Re-
publican candidate for County Clerk, and who
had the meeting in charge, Rev. MIR. Spoor, Mr..
Greenleaf and others. Mr.. Charles Larzeere
who came out one week ago last Sabbath and
signed the pledge, "felt proud to say that he
had been a temperance man one whole week.
That 1t had done him good, and that 1t had not
injured his business tina OF buying grain. He
felt confident that because he had abstained
from drink, q gentleman who associated with
him on the street had done the same. MIR.
Dunning, the President, thought "that II he
was to represent the class OF persons before
him, he would be obliged to live different life
in the future, from what he had in the past
and pledged himself there and then to do so.
Mr.. Dunning is young man OF ability, one OF
our popular dentists, and is capable of exerting
a good influence over quite large circle OF
young men. These are the kind Of men we
need in the work, for they have an influence
over the drinking class, that those who know
nothing OF their associations from actual ex-
perience can't possibly have. God speed the
good work.
The Congregational Society are expecting
soon to put their church in better repair by
replacing the old windows with new ones OF
stained glass, and giving 1t new coat OF paint
To the energy OF Mr.. Spoor, are the people
here indebted for the many needed repairs
which have been made on this building since
he came here.
