deliver an address at Vernon Center,
Jan. 18th. No doubt this dstin-
guisl,cd gentleman will have an i'm
mcnse audience, as he well deserves.
1t may not be generally known that
Mr.. Wooley was Mt one time Il resi-
dent of Minneapolis, member of a
law firm, Rea, Wooley & T<itchel. Mr..
Wooley became addicted to the use of
the cup, and his sad history, for years,
was the same as that of many other
men, with the results the same. He
lost his position in society, his bust
ness, but in all these years of trial
his wife remained steadfastly firm by
his side until, as Mr.. Wooley says
himself, "by the help of God" he con-
quered. John G. Wooley deserves all
the encouragement that is possible to
give him, and so does every other man
who heroically conquers the adver-
sary. We give all praise to John G.
Wooley.
