The dance given by the Mineral
Point drum corps on last Thursday
evening was a grand affair. Dancing
commenced at nine o'clock and con-
tinued until three o'clock on Friday
morning. There were ninety couples
present, and all seemed bent on having
a good time, and highly enjoyed them
selves. The music, which was furnished
by Dresen's orchestra, was first class.
The large attendance on cold,
disagreeabe night shows how popular
the drum corps dances have become
among many dancers in this vicinity.
The sixth and last party of the series,
given by the NJ. p. ID. club, took place
at the opera house, last Monday night,
and was made up of fOrty-five couples.
The DEBORAH Band played the opening
march at S:45, and the dancing was
continued until II, when all partook of
a delicious supper, which reflected
great credit on that committee. Dan
cling was again resumed and continued
until late hour. Those present from
away were, Miss Studley and MessrS
Blunt and Goddard. Monroe; Miss
Williams, Darlington; Miss Taylor,
Princeton, H.; J. NJ. Gundry, Denver;

Mrs. f. a. Charlton, of Brodhead,
delivered a most excellent and i'm
pressive address at the NJ. E. church
on Thursday evening of last week.
Taking the text The Master is come
and calleth for thee" as the subject of
her address, she described the home at
Bethany, the long waiting through the
of the brother, the grief at
his death, and until after the darkest
shadow had fallen the master came
N Of
those bereft of husband, father, son or
brother by death, but who have still
the beautiful memory of noble life,
with the greater sorrow Of those whose
lives are blighted by the fact that some
dear one is dead to them through the
evil of intemperance; and said that to
the women of the present time the
words. "The Master has come and
calleth for thee" come with the mean
ing that there is work that are called
to do. 1t is not necessary that all
should become public advocates of
the temperance cause. Effective work
may be done by the influence of
single life if it be all on the side of
in the small things of daily
life as well as in the great ones. She
dwelt upon the subject of pure home
life and the influence exerted among
the young by parents who wisely look
ed after their children's companions
Many temptations which beset young
men might be resisted if they would
only use the same will power in this
matter that they exercise in other
affairs. While heartily in sympathy
with prohibition, she would not sit
down and wait for it, but would
endeavor to do whatever temperance
work came before her. Prohibition
would turn what now seemed a hope
less task into very hopeful one, but
there would still be temperance work
to be done. Though woman does not
vote, yet she may by her words and
actions influence a vote in the right
and when the time does
come that woman may cast the ballot
her highest and noblest place will be,
where it has always been, at home.
