Dear Sister We are doing some
very effective Temperance work,
and yet very little as to what we
might do. The w. G. T. U. won't
do much until spring. The wealth
er, sickness &C., has kept it back.
The l. o. G.. T. is at work and near
" all of the ladies belong to that
Organization also, and will organize
a Juvenile Temple.
We are gaining ground every
dsy for the Amendment. A gen,
tleman told me this morning that
he had about decided to quit drink
altogether and vote for the Amend
ment; if he does he will influence
a goodly number of others; he is q
good man, never gets drunk but
takes his dram. And in his neigh
borhood are a large number like
him. He lives about 10 miles
south of here, whereR can be much
good work done and must be.
And now to the subject. Sister,
we want Mrs. Jennie McClurkin to
come here and then 60 to Lick Creek.
We will arrange for her to go out
in buggy from here, and, if she
can, speak at Oak Dale, 8 miles
east of here where she can have a
large crowd. Of course we will bear
all expenses. We want to have a
public installation and speeches on
the second anniversary of the I. O.
G. T. Bro. Walker can also be with
US I presume; he has promised to
go to Lick Creek. Do you think
Mrs. McClurkin can be with US
two or three days at anytime?
Very respectfully,
