Seventh District Delegates Convene In.


Seventh District Delegates Convene in.
Princeton.
The district convention of Seventh
district Good Templars convened here
Monday evening and remained in ses-
sion until Wednesday noon. Owing to
various causes the attendance was not
very large, and many Of the lodges Of
the district were not represented. The
first meeting was called to order at 10
A. M. Tuesday, with District Chief
Templar Warner in the chair, Mrs.
Fife Burgan, D. v, 81. Harland, DIS,
w. r. Brown, D. c., Fay Cravens, D..
NJ, Geo. Williams, D. P. G. T., and
Mettie Wheeler, D. G. Mrs. Wheeler
was elected and installed S. J. T. The
lodge then opened in the district de-
gree with D. L. Brown in the chair
and G. G. T. York as G. A good deal
of interest was manifested by all pres
emit, and the district degree was con-
ferred on 10 members and delegates.
The afternoon session was very prof ia
BILE to all Good Templars.
Grand Chief Templar York explained
why he could not fill his Spencer Brook
appointment. The Great Northern
train from the west reached Elk River
eight hours late on Saturday and he
could not make connections. It is the
! first time that Mr.. York ever failed to
keep an appointment, and it was owing
to no fault of his this time. He hopes
to meet the good people of Spencer
Brook at some future time.
Monday and Tuesday evenings were
devoted to public meetings in the M.
E. and Congregational churches.
Grand Chief Templar York, talked in
convincing strain, Monday evening,
about the great and good work of the
I. O. G.. T., followed by Rev. H. II.
Sanderson along the same line. Then
followed district lecturer Brown,
whose stentorian tones and animated
manner aroused temperance reformers
to a high pitch of enthusiasm and a
firm determination to paralyze the rum
traffic. Tuesday evening, the speak
ers again held forth to a large audi
ence, the terribly Ubiquitous business
of rum selling. Mr.. and Mrs. Burgan
were entertainers with some we'll
selected and well rendered vocal music.
Their character song, TUESDAY
night,' brought down the house with
a vim that would not be stilled until
another song was sung.
