A OF THE ORDER

ger accessions than usual to the Order
We continue our summary below:
Marattock Division, at Plymouth, reports
an increase of SO, and loss of 7 by resig-
natin and expulsion, membership 90. Who
will beat old Marattock?
Rockingham Div, in Richmond county,
increase 27, 5 withdrawn, 4 resigned, 2 ex-
PEELED ; membership IS. A friend writing
from this place informs US they are not done
taking in yet-several applications for mem
bership are before the Division and more-a-
coming" The brother says Our march
is onward, and I do believe, if we are true to
the cause, the time is not far off when We
shall make a clean sweep in this community.
We have now in this place but one retailing
establishment, and that one is SO crippled and
used up by the influences of our Order, that
it seems to me impossible for it to survive
much longer. We have 4 Divisions in this
county, and l suppose something near 200
Sons of Temperance /; and l think this is
doing pretty well for so small a county, and
considering the shortness of the time the Or
der has been established here.

ed 4 ; membership 90.

jamestown, GuiIfcrd, new Division, mem
bership %; The R. S.. writes US that " the
cause of Temperance is rapidly gaining
ground in that section; nearly every respec-
table citizen of the village Except those too
old) are members of the Order, so that the
poison is driven entirely from the place
There is but one little sinking distillery in
the vicinity, and 1 think if we could have a
speech from Bro. White, we could seud that
internal thing to its long home"
Florence, Guilford, increase 8, 8 with
drawn to join another Division, expelled 4;
membership So. The D. G. w. P. writes

the success of Temperance principles been
brighter in that region than at present.

petitions for membership n the table"
