unions in this county were represented at
| the temperance institute held in this town
! last week. The county officers were as
sisted by Mrs. Housh, the state president
and Mrs Kenyon, state superintendent OF
! juvenile work. In many respects the insti-
tute was an exceptionally successful one,
| Many remarked that it was the first one
| they ever knew where everything on the
programme was carried out, and many were
the bright and helpful words which were
! spoken. The persons deserving special
thanks are Rev. Mr.. Sherburn and Rev,
e. e. Herrick, for their excellent papers
and their kindnesses in many other ways,
and Misses Hall and Darling, who most
ably superintendent the drilling of the chill
! uren. The brightness ana uSeiul IDEAS Oh
the East Corinth essays were remarked upon
by many. Two things, find, remain in my
memory especially-a quotation from Miss
| Willard, Between two evils choose
neither and this remark from Mrs. Housh
Let each young lady be committee OF
one to secure some one to sign the pledge.
OF course Mrs. Housh's lecture was an eX
cellent one. We believe it would be hard
to surpass the exercises of the children and
| all will look back to this institute witt
thanks TO God for the encouragement they
received in their work for God and home
and native land"
