"A Union Temperance Meeting was
held in the Baptist Church Tuesday eve.
| The Rev. Mr.. Corey and Col. Frank who
were to address the meeting, were unable
to be present. Rev. Mr.. Garvin, formerly
pastor of the M. E. Church, was called
upon and made few remarks. He was
followed by Others who made short speech
es. A committee of five, comprising Judge
Van Wyck, Jno. ODonnell, E. L. Grant, J.
II. Summons and Rev. Bray were appointed
to appoint committee of fifty. The commit
tee of fifty to be appointed regardless of
sectarianism from those who are most inter-
ested in the maintenance of law and order.
After some discussion, it was decided to
have the next meeting in some public hall,
the time and place Of meeting to be decided
and advertised by the committee.
The object Of having the meetings in a
public hall is to take away everything that
might prevent law abiding citizen from
giving his support to the work. The Am
phion Quartette rendered few selections
and Miss Bessie Wells favored the audience
with an appropriate selection.
If the temperance people will take adj
vantage of the coming opportunity of max
ing change, instead of sitting around
deploring the state of affairs, our city will
soon enjoy the blessing of enforced law.
in spite of the bad roads and not very
cheerful weather this week, the Farmers
Institute opened up Tuesday morning with
very fair attendance of farmers, and the
western train brought in large number
more. The afternoon session on Tuesday
was we'll attended, the court room being
filled full. The program, as published In
these columns, was carried out in very
satisfactory manner. Messrs. True, Van
Virk and McKerrow are new men to the
Kenosha County farmers, but they know
what they are talking about and are earnest
in their advocacy of the use of modern
methods and scientific principles as applied
to husbandry. The attendance was good
at all the sessions and keen interest was
manifested in the work of the institute
