The following is from the Garden City *Incognitor*: "A union temperance meeting was held in the M, E, Church Sunday evening. Webster Davis delivered an address, which for rhetorical excellence and logical conclusions, was superior to anything it has been our privilege to bear for many months. He showed that he was thoroughly in earnest in his theme, and acquitted himself in a very commendable manner."
