Tuesday evening temperance lecture
was delivered at the NJ E. church
by Rev. E. B. Sutton, the noted prohibi-
tion agitator. The turnout was fair and
would doubtless have been much larger
had the coming of the lecturer been
given more publicity.

Word comes from Homen of very
successful bazaar and supper given by
the ladies of the Baptist church there on

events of this kind that are constantly
coming in.
The illness of Miss Lizzie Ferguson
made it necessary for the Philharmonic

start.
The atmosphere must have been
decidedly torrid at Milton yesterday, it
being currently reported that pre-.
liminary investigation of charges laid
at the door of alleged violators of the
prohibitory law was in progress. It is
known to be fact that States Attorney
Dickson and Lindlie, the enforcement
league man, were both there busy ex-
aiming innumerable witnesses. If
perseverance is worth anything the
temperance folks of the south end town
ought to accomplish something in the
sweet bye and bye.
