The twenty-second annual conven-
ton of National WOman's Christian
Temperance Union was held in Balti-
more last week. The president of the
W. G. T. U. is Miss Frances Willard,
and the other officers are all devoted
women whose motto is "FOr God and
Home and Native Land" The work in
which the ladies are engaged is a noble
one. The methods by which the w. c..
T. U. hope to overcome intemperance
are epreventive. educational, evangelistic,
social and legal. Their purpose is to
overthrow the saloon and to redeem
humanity from the thraldOm of appe-
tite. " Surely all that is best in humanity
will wish them GOdspeed in their work
of uplifting the fallen, of strengthening
the weak and of challenging the power
of those influences which undermine
the home and destroy our manhood.

The TINES appears to-day in a new
dress of type. The type obtained some
years ago of Mcclellan, Smiths & Jordan
did us excellent service, and has re-
corded many an incident of local his
tory, but was beginning to show the
effect of age, aud need of renewal. The
TINES greets its readers to-day with a
new and brighter face, which we hope
will be appreciat by its many readers,
and that it shal. wear as we'll as shall
the regards of its patrons for the paper
and its weekly visitations.

REPORTS have come of heavy snow
storms and very low temperature for so
early in the season. The severe cold
on this continent with the heavy snow
fall reported in Germany and Austria
may be considered ominous of a severe
winter. In this latitude there has been
a great deficiency in rainfall, and if ma
ture should conclude to restore the
average, which is not at all unlikely,
we shall have an unusually wet winter
and a cold one if there is anything in
the adage that hot summer is followed
by cold winter.
