wv. c. Z. U.
Plan of Work,
Concluded from last week.)
py TEE W. C. t. U. OF HOT SPRINGS.

NOOiASAAQON AhSU MOChsJ
We recommend sixth that each
Union have a definite program for
each meeting, and that the business
and program be dispatched with such
promptness that the greatest amount
of practical work be accomplished in
the smallest space of time compatible
with thoroughness and completeness.
Don't waste precious time on remarks
and discussions not pertinent to the
work in hand.
We recommend seventh that a card
be printed (by the District Union) ad-
dressed to the new member, on which
is given i'll a condemned form the duties
of the new member, something in the
following form:
To the New MEMBER
l. Pay dues promptly.
.. Hold your pledge as a sacred VOW.
3. Wear your badge.
4. Take Union Signal; read it your
self and see that your family read it.
5. Adopt some one line of work as
your special duty.
6. Attend at least one meeting each
month, or, if unavoidably detained,
send in a written excuse to show that
your interest is still with the work.
Z. Secure at least one new member
during the year.
To the members of our Union here
in Hot Springs we would add the re-
commentator that each one, whether
she has taken an active part in the
work heretofore or not, observe men,
bership week, September 21-2s, by
spending at least one afternoon of
that week in an effort to secure new
members. Call on as many of your
neighbors who are not already men,
bers as possible, tell them of our work
and the present great necessity of
pushing it, and invite them to become
members, also to attend the regular
meeting held that week Wednesday,
September 81. A house to house visi-
tation of that kind ought to double
our numbers. Cannot you devote that
small amount of time to SO important
Il cause as the final overthrow of the
liquor traffic? Even if you fail to Sc
cure a single new member your labor
is not lost if it is done in a truly
Christian spirit, for you will be educat-
ing public opinion in the right direc-
ton. Daniel Webster said: "There is
not IL monarch on earth whose throne
cannot be shaken by public opinion
King Alcohol's throne already trem-
bles from the now not far distant rum
BILE of an overwhelming public opinion
rising against it with all the force of
an alarmed and indignant humanity at
last aroused to the awfulness of its
crimes and to the magnitude of the
%servitude of officials in high places,
which the liquortrafic boldly fauntsin
the face of the people. Be not discour-
aged. Educate, agitate, organize to
fight this mighty foe, and Alcohol's
throne will eventually topple over
from the mighty but silent force of
public opinion.

The New Railway.

The improvements that have been
made during the past few years in tie
track, road-bed, bridges, trestles, tun-
nels, etc., have virtually made a new
road of the NORTHERN PACIFIC. The
road has been widened, trestles
filed in, new and heavier steel
rails laid, grades cut down, wooden
bridges replaced 10y steel ones, curves
taken out, tunnels lined with brick
and concrete. and improvements made
wherever possible. Hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars were spent in this way
during 1898 besides large sums in pre-
yious years.
New and mammoth locomotives cap
able of drawing the heavy tr%ans.conti-
mental passenger trains at seventy five
miles per hour, when necessary, have
been bought. Progress and advance

the day. Such a road, SOLID, SMOOTH

Discovered by a Woman,

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily, and
could not sleep. She finally discov-
cred a way to recovery, by purchasing
a bottle of DIR. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much re-
lieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night, and with two bottles
has been absolutely cured. Her name

you can make a better cleansing paste than you can buy.
Ivory Soap Paste will take spots from clothing; and will clean
carpets, rugs, kid gloves, slippers, patent, enamel, russell leather and
canvas shoes, leather belts, painted woodwork and furniture. The
special value of Ivory Soap in this form arises from the fact that it
can be used with a damp sponge or cloth to cleanse many articles

That just about this time OF year
They must have been a spreading.
Fhe happy thoughts, the laughing eyes,
The hearts and souls that God could prize,
The cakes, the buildings and the pies
At Deacon Warren's wedding

Stree that dim February dawn
Through heaven began to climb
And here now at this later date
We're gathered to commemorate
That self-same happy time;
To testify, and try to prove
Our deep regard and lasting love,
In one united chorus,
To those who all that fifty years
Have shared aliae the smiles and tears
OF US, and those before US,
OF all the hearts both old and young
That joy has stirred. or grief has wrung,
And OF the children. too,
The scholar, pr Oud of how he ranked,
The naughty tot who'd just been spanked,
And all the circle through.

The meanest and M st selfish sOt
Could have bought If he'd the e. Id.

ahowering down it's golden rays in Its eff
fort to make the last day of the winter
months harbipger of spring and adding
it's yellow halo OF glory In honor of tie
important event. The travelling was all
that could be expected by those who
would choose February % as wedding
day.
A company Of fully 200 from the best
families of South Britain and the sur
rounding towns came in response to In
vitations to do them honor. Never was
a golden wedding anniversary more ap-
propriate. To say that MIR and Mrs
Mitchell are gold is not fattery, for you
cannot f1atter such characters, but
simple statement OF fact rs they are
known in the community which they
honor and which delights to honor them.
Their great hearts of love would like to
have included in the invitations all who
delight to call them friends, but there
must be limit to everything, especially

not know any bounds in the lives of

WhO're reached the golden day;
Whose glory on but few descends,
