Temperance and political notes in a Delaware weekly

It highlights temperance marches led by women, a call for the Champions of Tobit secret order, and praise for General Grosvenor's support of an Agricultural Fair bill. Also notes a century-old elder’s death and an oratorical address at Ohio University on temperance.

Athens Temperance League forms in 19th century drive
A meeting at the Presbyterian Church on February 6 established the Women's Temperance League in Athens. Officers were elected and pledges prepared for members, citizens, property owners, physicians, dealers, and druggists to refuse intoxicating liquors. A prayerful outreach followed with visits to liquor dealers and druggists, and a large roll of signatories pledged to abstain or persuade.
