ORGANIZATION OF THE TENNESSEE H. AND T. ASSOCIATION.
By Julia A. Owen
At the camp-meeting at Edgefield Junction, after an address on the subject of temperance, the teetotal pledge was circulated, and signed by twenty-five, quite a number of whom had previously decided against signing pledges. Leaving quite a number undecided, those who had signed the pledge proceeded to organize a State Health and Temperance Association. Eld. D. M. Canright was elected chairman, and Julia A. Owen secretary pro tem. It was voted that the chairman appoint the officers, and they were appointed as follows: For president, G. K. Owen; secretary, Julia F. Moore. The following resolution was adopted:— Resolved, That we heartily indorse the temperance movement conducted by our people, and that we urge all in our Conference to sign the pledge. JULIA A. OWEN, Sec. pro tem.
