The cottage meetings being held by
the Independent Order OF Rechabiics arc
growing In interest. The meeting this
week was held AZ the home Of Mr.. james
Sands and their reception was most
cordial from Mr. Sands and his wife.
Temperance Is very lively theme with
the people Of Ezstport at the present
time and call OF tho Prohibition
League will be issued In line with the
call for the meeting Of the citizens Of
Annapolis to secure submission Of the
question os prohibition in Annapolis to
( the qualified voters.
The call will be issued for meeting
in the Methodist Episcopal Church on
Monday, Oct. for the purpose Of coop
Grating with the people Of Annapolis in
the effort TO abolish the saloon The
interests of the people Of Annapolis and
PASSPORT, as well as other adjacent Sec
tions, are identical. Both Of the calls
mentioned arc echo from the rousing
Temperance meeting held in the Court
House this week. We trust the ring
ing speeches delivered by Messers Fritz
zei and Stewart will tend to bring to an
end the degradation and misery caused
by the saloon In our midst II is true
that nothing short Of prohibition will
quench the flames ofindignation SO justly
k:udled against the saloon in the public
mind. The signs of the time point to its
early doom and may all good men unite
to speed the time.
