Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 November 1898 — Page 2 Advertisements Column 1 [ADVERTISEMENT]

We hope the temperance meetings now in progress here will, in results obtained, meet the most sanguine wishes of their promoters. It is indeed time there was a temperance revival in Rensselaer. There is altogether too much drinking and saloon frequenting here, and the evil has no doubt greatly increased in late years.. There are too many poor men who spend in the saloons or other and less lawful places, what should go on their children’s backs or in their stomachs, and too many rich or well-to-do men who are fast pursuing the road that in many cases leads to an early and unbonored grave and in others brings poverty and wretchedness to themselves and their families. Verily the drink habit is a measureless and . (1 an unmitigated evil, and to abstain from it entirely is the wisest course for ourselves and our most helpful course for our fellow men.
