Der semi-annual session to be held in
this city, Oct 10 and II, with a recep-
ton the 9th. says:
This Is the 43d semi-annual session
of the order of Maine, and we propose
to make it the most interesting. The
brightest, most radical temperance
speakers in Maine will be with us, such
men as Rev. Samuel F. Pearson Of
Portland. Ed. II. Emery Of Sanford.
DR.. John G. Stewart of York, Rev.
Howard 0. Perkins Of New Bedford.
Mass. Rev. f. V. Stevens Of Lindon-
vile, VT. Hon. Grant Rogers, with the
Grand Council. Special programs for
every session are now completed. We
have been much annoyed to find ac-
commOdations. At the Bangor session
we were instructed not to make ar
rangements for our delegates except
at strictly temperance houses.
AT Augusta it was impossible and
at Gardiner we shall be much crowded
and have to depend on private homes
to great extent.
plans will be made at this session
to influence Legislation the coming
winter. An active canvass of the en-
tire State is proposed to strengthen the
order by organizing and visiting new
lodges. The Juvenile department will
receive special attention"
If any of our citizens could assist
the local lodge of Good Templars by
lodging the delegates the favors would
be much appreciated. Address Miss
Jennie A. Hodgkins, chairman enter
