Rensselaer Republican, Volume 14, Number 47, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 August 1882 — TEMPERANCE. [ARTICLE]

TEMPERANCE.

The attehdance at the Blue Ribbon meeting was good in point of numbers, but, like most of the meetings that have been held lately was somewhat discourag ng from the fact that so few, proportionately, of the beer guzzling sex were present. We would suggest to the many attractive young ladies who attend the meetings so. faithfully, that thoy exercise their persuasive powers to induce their young gentlemen friends to take in the Temperance meetings a little more frequently. Like most of tho published. programmes of the meetings, that one of last Saturday evening could not be carried out strictly to the letter, as a number of persons whose names appeared upon it, failed to be present. The Rev. Taylor prayed and the Rev. Lodor made the opening remarks. Mrs. R. S. Dwiggins read the Scripture; and Dr. Washburn occupied the time, if not the space, assigned to W.T. her kins. Fannie Scott, Mary Cliilcot© and Lorena Peacock gave declamations, and Prof, and Mrs. W. De M. Hooper sang a duet. Jas. T. Abbett and Elmer Dwiggins were down for remarks- but Mr. Abbett was not present and Mr, Dwiggins asked to be excused. Wm, Beck, who always keeps liis appointments, made the cloeingjemarke,.

If you happen to know of any “personal” items that you think might be of interest to any considerable number of our readers just send them around to The Republican office and they will be published. A few lines on a postal card addressed to The Republican will do the business. Most everybody knows of something which other people would like to know, and which we will be glad to tell them if we knew what it was.
