The WashingtonCounty Good Templars
Union met with Waitsfield lodge Wednes-
day, Sept, Z, ut the Congregational church.
Several lodges were represented but from
various causes the attendance was much
smaller than we have been accustomed To
see when the union has met here. The
legal fraternity of Montpelier was pretty
well represented four lawyers being pres
ent from that place, which seemed to ind
cate that temperance principles are not
quite dormant in that class of the citizens
of the capital. The time in the forenoon
was principally devoted to business, ex-
cept very interesting poem by d. A.
Kneeland of Waitsfeld lodge, and very
we'll rendered recitation by Miss Dora A.
Stoddard, also of Waitsfeld lodge. After
an abundant dinner, served by the ladies
OF Waitslield lodge, services were opened
at 2 O'Clock p. M, with excellent music by
the choir, which was followed by reports
OF lodges and discussions for the good Of
the order. Mrs. L. B. Boyce read an es-
say, "Our Brothers Keeper" after which
the following question was discussed:-
- Resolved, That the free use of the ballot
given to women would do more to suppress
the evil of intemperance in the United
States than the order of Good Templars."
o. d. Edgerton of Mortified made the
opening speech in the affirmative, and
Messrs, Gordon, Wing. Mutt, Clough and
others participated in the debate. Rev.
W. ]. johnson of Waterbury gave
stirring temperance address in the even.
