meeting of the W.CT.U. yesterday. Miss
Cue, with Prof. Walker, led the singing,
and 1t has become seeming necessity for
temperance rallies In this county that the
professor should be in attendance with his
inspiring songs and sweet singers. At the
conclusion of this special song service the
meeting, being presided over by Mrs Has
lup, was opened by prayer and reading Of
the scriptures. Miss Mary Willard of Ber-
I'm, Germany. niece of Miss Frances Will
lard, then introduced to the audience

the Ball Rolling On" the presiding officer

who spoke on Juvenile work, and particu-
larry of the Loyal Temperance Legion,

with this society has frightened many
young lives. Mrs. Margaret Plat then read

meeting, which was presided over by Mrs.
Margaret Plat, who read a selection OF

Miss Bell kearney Of MISSISSIPPI. Was
then introduced as the speaker OF tie even
ing, who said that while the temperance
question was old, so is the gospel, but, Ike
the gospel, is formed on Righteousness, and
so Temperance" wtll continue TO be agltat-
ed until every saloon is closed, until every
oh rob mon f.,.rS
the polls, and until the grip OF the liquor
traffic is broken.
As comparison, said the speaker il APP
peared that the cause of temperance was
more publicly supported in the south than
the north. MISSES. pp., with its seventy
five counties has license in but fourteen.
Georgia, with one hundred and thirty seven
counties, has but thirty-seyen counties
where liquor rs sold. Tennessee, Texas and
other southern states are taking up the
question, with view of state prohibitory
legisla ton. Every state in the Union, with
the exception OF two have in use in lheir
respective public schools textbooks upon
the effect Of the use Of alcoholic beverages,
while the church, corporations for inter-
state commerce, prohibit their mem pers
and employees in the use of intoxicating
beverages, and even society" sets its face
against its mmoderate use.
