TEMrERAScE.---The Temperate Society of
rhetford, VT in their annual report, state that
The diminuton of the sale Of ardent spirits in
that town the last year was nearly one kGif
'rhe sales amounted to $4,000 in 1896, and
only So 2,G59 in 1927. The quantity consum.
ed is still alarming, although many have on.
tirely abstained. Farmers have tried tho cx-
purmcnt Of abstaining entirely from using
md furnishing ardent spirits, aud their exre
ricnce is decidedly in favor Of abstinence
they find 10 difficulty in hiring laborers:
their folds are free from babblings and con.
entions; their work is done quicker and bot.

aan who drinks but single glass during tho
'ay will lag behind those who abstain, before
night. Buildings have hccn raised, sheep

ground, if they could rot be gathered without
the help of rum. When this point was set

except entire abstinence arc useless. Let
not the friends of temperance give back. The
only word is, press on. The progress may be
slow, but it is tho march to victory.
