There will be a meeting of the temperance workers of the county in the court room of the court house to-day, at 1 o’clock p. m., to perfect arrangements for a county option election to be held in April. Representative delegates are expected from every precinct in the county. This call comes at this time in response to an appeal that is made from Demotte in Keener tp., where an application for a license has been made. It is desired that this meeting shall be Largely* attended by friends of temperance from all over tte county. It is the intention to get the petitions ready to file at the April meeting of the county commissioners. It takes 20 per cent of the voting strength of the county, which, on the vote last fall, means about 725 names must be secured to the petition.
