BY postal card received from Rev.
N. G.. Dean, written at Chase, Rice
Co., Kans. we learn that little place
was nearly destroyed by cyclone, on
the evening of April 4th. Two lives
were lost and both post office and
building ruined.
Rev.. j. A. Richards of Fort Scott
and state Evangelist for the Wes-.
yian Methodists will preach at the
stone church Sabbath afternoon at 3
o'clock, April 23d. He comes to at
tend quarterly meeting, which opens
at the Wesleyan church, the Saturday
preceding.
The Geneva Township Prohibition
League seems to have tried to exist,
but died before it had fairly drawn
full breath. Any effort to shoulder
the disgrace of this upon the Directory
will only react with double force upon
the head of any who may make it.
They were jealous, and united as one
man, did their full part to secure full
success. Some of the members did the
same, and upon those who did not
must and will rest the odium of defeat.
The constitution requires monthly
meeting; but for wise and sufficient
reasons, six weeks had been allowed
to elapse. A. meeting fully advertised
was called for last evening, but only
being attended by one voting member
outside of the Directory and a few
others, was adjourned without coming
to order. We write these facts as a
citizen, with deep regret and burning
shame, and earnestly hope that the
time will soon come when the strong
temperance element of Geneva town
ship will awake from its slumbers and
prove to those who now cavil, that
they mean business.
