Temperance Speech Highlights Costs of Drink
Michael J. Fanning, a Kilkenny orator, spoke at the Church of Christ on Monday night noting the wreckage of drink in homes and praising reform.

He noted Panama Canal work could begin in under sixty days. Also, an advertisement urges attending Fannon's Big Shoe Sale starting July 29.
