CLARKSBORO.

The w. c. T. U. met on Friday after
noon. Topic for the day, Christian
Citizenship and Woman in Government. "
Part of the 18th chapter of Romans was
read. Prayer was offered by Annie M.
Dale. In response to roll CALL sentiments
were given showing the good results gained
where women have the suffrage. Leadville,
Col, with a reputation for bloodshed that
extended to the oceans, is now one of the
most upright cities of the country, this has
been brought about through the influence
of the women of the community. The
committee on temperance picnic, acting
jointly with the Y. Branch, reported ar
rangements completed for holding basket
picnic in the grove at Mickleton July 10Th.
Elma M. Preston, of Kenneth Square, Pa,
is to make the morning address and Rev.
j. L. Sawn, of Paulsboro, is to speak in
the afternoon. Musical and literary exer-
cises for both sessions have been arranged.
A letter was received from the National
officers concerning several points. One is
that growing number of business enter
prises desire to make capital out of our
organization by using the name "White
Ribbon or purporting to receive the en-
dorsement of w. G. T. .. officers or mem
bers. Any such use of the name is un-
authorized and no white ribboner should
allow her official signature to be used ex-
cept for w. G. 7. U. purposes. Several
articles on the topic were read, the sum-
mary of these being that when Christian
men and women shall rise up and in their
dignity of Christian citizenship claim and
exercise their rights and obligations, then
parties will be purer and public men better.
