the best young horses 10 the State, pur.
chased one half of him the fall after he
was 8 years old, for which | paid Fifteen
Hundred Dollars cash. His feet being in
bad condition, very seriously injured, !
turned him out and took him up last fall
and put hun in training, when | had the
highest expectations from him. Judging
from his private trials with Pizaro, Eliza
Warten, and other distinguished horses
IN my stable. | considered him the best
horse in the state, and sought the earliest
opportunity for him to display his power.
but the disease in his feet returning, he LET
down IN his first race at Lynchburg. TSee
Turf Register, November No. 1894 !
Shortly after which, Mr.. Robinson refused
1,co thousand Dollars for his half of him.

HARMONY TEMPERANCE SOCIETY

Proceedings Of the HARMONY TEMpERANca
SOCIETY, al TIER second annual meeting on
Saturday the 2lst June, 1884.
The Society having been called to order by
the President, was opened with prayer by tn
Rev. MIR. Webster of the Methodist Protestant
Church.
The following report Of the managers was then
read by the Secretary, and on motion Of the Rev.
Robert Wilson, was received and adopted.
The cause OF temperance is one which should
be first in the thought of the Christian, patriot
and philanhroplst, and IN no place or section Of
country has its all powerful and healthful influ
! ehcc been exerted with more pleasing and bcnc
| fetal results than in this ncighborhood
| The managers are gratfed TO give the pleasing
information of the almost entire prevalence OF
the principles of total abstinence within the
bounds OF this Society, extending 10 persons not
members well as such as are members of thi.
Society. Indeed, the change in this nrighbor
hood has been so complete, there is scarcely any
of the poison used in IT, We would ask YOU 10
look back TO the period al the time this Society
was formed, and compare ii with the present,
and YOU will find the contrast to BE- so great as
almost to appear an absurdity. "But facts are
stubborn things" and we confidently look for
ward 10 the time, which we hope is not far dis
tant when we will all unite in the good cause
True, there is no person who openly opposes the
temperance reform, but they still withhold their
names, and without their names signed TO our
pledge consider them our opponents, "for he
that is not for us is against us -
This Society was formed two years ago, at
which time twenty six persons signed the pledge:
since that time the number has been increased
10 more than one hundred
II has not come TO the knowledge Of the Ma
nagers that any of the members of this Society
have violated the pledge of total abstinence from
spirituous liquors, with exception, an indivi-
dual who has removed out of the State, and of
course, without the bounds and influence of this
Society. Some, we understand. have INDUCED
too much at times in the use Of wines, but as our
pledge does not exclude the use of wines and TO-
mented liquors, they cannot be held responsible
We would respectfully recommend that some
'hing may be done TO prevent the use of such 10
SSscss' and we earnestly hope that such persons
a"uie wli for the honor Of the cause which
,,ney have voluntarily cspousrd refrain from anv
