W. O. T. U. Organised.
Mrs. Welton state organizer and
Mrs. "Walker, state president, of
the W. C. T. U. arrived in town
aat Friday and in the afternoon
organized a local society at the
Methodist church with the follow-
ng officers: President, Mrs. J. D.
Pulis; Vice-president, Mrs. Barton;
Corresponding Secretary, Mrs.
Chaa. "Ware; Recording Secretary,
Mrs. A. P. Kelly: Treasurer, Mrs.
S. Hartman.
Friday evening Mrs. Walker
gaye an address upon the principal
temperance workers ot the world,
some of whom she had met at a
convention of the W. C. T. U. held
in Loudon. She also gave stercop-
ticon views of places she had visit
ed in London,
Saturday afternoon a domestic
science meeting was Held at the
Baptist parsonage at which Mrs.
Welton gavedemonstrations of cake
baking and making desserts.
This demonstration proved very
interesting to the fit teen or more
ladies present. The W. C. T. U.
believes in making home Mfe and
living as attractive as possible to
the male members of the family,
hence these instructions in do
mestic science.
Saturday evening Mrs. Walker
gave another exhibition of stereop
ticon views, accompanying the
scenes with a lecture. One nota
ble view was Napoleon after the
battle of Waterloo.
Sunday evening a union meeting
was held at the opera house, the
attendance bcinglargc. Addresses
were made by Mrs. Walker, Mrs.
Welton and Rev. Wimberly. This
meeting was very entertaining and
instructive throughout and awak
ened much interest in the cause of
temperance.
The local society starts with a
membership of thirty-five, but it is
thought that with a little soliciting
that number can be trebled In a
short time. Men are taken into
the society as honorary members
by the payment of a fitly cent fee.
The next meeting will be held at
2:30 next Wednesday afteauoon at
the home of Mrs, J. L. McGrew,
opposite the second ward school
