We^ are gratified to find this w growing sentiment against the vaude-1 o: rille in our midst, and we appeal to w ill our members and all the town and hi immunity to stand with the ma^-or,; si ouncil and pastors, in trying to safe-1 o: :uard the highest moral and spiritual d nterests of our people. hi J.
