ALEXANDRIA, March 80, 1916.
I Mn. Enron The meeting advertised to take
place yesterday on the corner Of Prince and Water
streets, was held at the Market Square, where con-
siderable number of persons were in attendance.
The meeting having been opened by the singing of
several odes, few opening remarks were made by
Richard L. Carns, jr. after which Thomas N. Davy
took the stand and delivered stirring and efectual
appeal to the audience in behalf Of the Temperance
cause, which was interrupted by an extreme hoarse
ness of voice and other unfayorable symptoms,
which prevented his further continuance. Another
ode having been sung, Mr.. George Hubbard rose,
and pointed out in strong and forcbls language the
misery inflicted on our young men by certain esta-
blishments where liquor is secretly sold in back
rooms and behind curtains, and where many who
would not dare to enter public tavern in sight of
their friends, placed in the road to everlasting
death.


At the conclusion of Mr. Hubbard's address, seve-
raj signatures obtained to the pledge and the
audience dispersed to meet again on Monday next,
when hope we shall have some Of your go ahead
Brothers of Temperance down to help their brethren
Of No. A, who hold the meeting. L.
