Mrs Mary Lathrop. the great lady
orator, will speak upon the subject of
temperance, Saturday afternoon at the
Opera House, at three o'clock Also Sun

very best speakers in this country.
The series of Temperance meetings held
under the auspices of Hughes and Ward,
at Opera Hall, during the past week, have
been largely attended. and we believe that
some practical good will he the result.
These men are earnest workers, and have
their work at heart, beyond all question.
That they know why they are in this field
they fully set forth, and no man who hears
them can fail to be convinced that for
them, at least. total abstinence from the
use of all intoxicants has been their per-
sonal salvation both for time and eternity.
We sincerely hope the good work began
by them may be pushed forward, until
every saloon iE our city shall, if for no
other reason than for want of customers
be compelled to close their doors. There
is 40 question about the necessity of edu.
eating the people up to the standard of
total abstinence, personal total abstinence.
from the use of every narcotic. and until
this is accomplished there is abundant
room for such workers as Hughes and
Ward We are informed that about 900
persons affixed their signatures to the
pledge. Now let each one of these persons
live up 10 their obligation, and work along
that time with their influence and the
good work so auspiciously began, will go
on until not only one, but three of our
four thousand population will be workers
in the field of total abstinence
