The weekly temperance meeting in.
the Town Hall on Sunday night was
fairly attended, considering the warm-
ness of the night. Rev. J. W. Goffiu
addressed the audience, speaking tn.
"Battling for the Right." The musical
exercises were conducted by Mrs. Goffiu,
who presided at the piano and lead the
singing of gospel hymns. Mrs. E. P.
Paulin assisted Mrs. Goffin in a very.
nicely rendered duet.
The W. C. T, U. meeting in the town
hall on Sunday night will reveal some
"dark horses." A member in charge in-
forms us that the speakers are to be of.
the best kind, and the music will be as
good, if not better than given before.
We are glad that so much interest is
being taken iu these meetings; not only
for the good that may be done, but for
the encouragement it gives to the ladies
in charge. The next meeting promises
most interest of any in the series.

ordered to be transmitted to Mr. Larkin
with the request that Chatham deal with
it as speedily as possible.

also very interesting. The pastor gave
an address on Epworth League 'work,
showing its benefits socially, and he the

tQ good works by the bona of unity of
such organization. Walter Hall made a
