The best interest of the temper
ance element of the county requires
that large gathering of earnest
temperance workers from all parts of
the county attend the North East
meeting, where plans will doubtless
be effected for effective. concerted
work throughout the county. In
order to secure continuation of the
benefits of the present prohibitory
law of the county it will require the
earnest efforts of every true temper.
ance man and woman in the county.
A firm, united effort of the better
element of society will result in a
triumph which will send the saloon
back empty to the gloomy regions of
Pluto whence it sprang.
