The Wilmington daily Republican., 1901-04-04
FROM
NEW CASTLE.

sOlyed-Ihat the Salvation Army
has been more beneficial than Tenn.
perance. For the affirmative the
debaters were Willie Elkinton.
Robert King, Charles Lank aud
Harry Gravel. The temperance
advocates were George MURRAY,
Archie Kennle, John Graham and
Harry Smith. So ably did they
present their argument in favor of
the negative that Rev. f. NJ. Nun
son who presided at the debate de-
cided ia favor OF the Temperance
debaters. a Temperance Brig ade
will shortly be formed among these
young people. The names OF ten
who are willing to abstain from the
use OF lntoyic atlng liquor and bad
language have been banded in. In
the near future org rganlzation o! the
new Brig gade will take place. The
proper time TO learn TO be sober is
when persot is young. BY form
ing brigade the lads hope to in
duce others to join their ranks. BY
advice and example they trust to
inculcale among the rising gener-
alton decided dislike for liquor.
