Avondale. At All early hour the seats
were all taken and long before the
meeting was called to order standing
room was all occupied.
The NJ. ;. Il. A. with the Ladies
Aid Society Of Wilmington, chartered a
special car and attended in body.
The meeting was called to order by
the President. After singing corona
ton and prayer being being offered,
the President read a condensed history
of the use and progress OF the As5socla
ton, remarking among other things the
interesting fact that out OF l42 members
only twelve had violated their pledge,
and that six Of them had again become
members. Miss Ida and MOllie Rob
erts of Wilmington, sang "Don't sell
father any more rum. Receiving a

had been flying in every direction from
their work on the temperance log.
The event Of the evening conferred in
Mr. Browns closing remark, when in 4
very few and appropriate remarks he
presented the President Of the Aaso"la

This afternoon in the House, Mr.
Collins from the committee on Statutes
reported unfavorably upon the petition
of a number of citizens praying for a
law prohibiting BARRIERS pursuing taer
avocaton. on the Sabbath. The reason
assigned upon the law as set forth in
chapter l3l, section 4th of tn. revised
code.
The law as there set forth says ali
any person shall perform any labor on
the Sabbath day (works Of necessity
and charity excepted) he shall be fined
four dollars, and on failure to pay such
fine and costs shall be imprisoned not
exceeding twenty four hours" and
thai any Justice Of the Peace Of the
County shall have jurisdiction and
cognizance Of the offences mentioned in
this section" The committee thinking
that the above contained all that was
necessary, they rejected the bin on the
ground that it would br simply super,
tluous.
