Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1853-12-14

SECOND ON THE LIST, n A NOBLE RES
PoNsE.-Cherith Division, No. Is, located at
Garysburg, Northampton county, is the Sec
ond Division to respond to the appeal of the
Grand Division in making contribution for
the employment of Sfs4aIectarer and sends
up $25, which the Grand Scribe thus takes
pleasure in acknowledging! We learn that
a handsome individual subscription will also
be sent up from that place, in conformity
with the plan proposed by the State Tem-
perance Convention, to aid in the same good
enterprise. What other Division or commu-
nifty will do as we'll? Cherith has always
been in the advance ranks in every enter
prise to advance the cause; and when we
consider that there are only 40 members be-
longing to the Division, we are sure all will
join US in declaring her response a noble" one.
1t is a model Division in every respectable
laws, rules and usages Of the Order are strict
ly and cheerfully complied with, its desti-
tute and afflicted members we'll cared for, the
widows and orphans Of deceased brothers
promptly and comfortably provided for
tracts, papers aad other matter suitable to
the advaneement@f the r&sorm industriously
and beautifully scattered throughout the com
munity-in a word, the entire duties Of the
Order, in all its benevolent, philanthropic
and patriotic interests, are amply attended
to. Three cheers for noble old Cherith.
ng- Hamilton Division, in BERTHE, is the
third contributor, and sends up $40 for the
em~ploymentof Lecturers. This is doing very
we'll for so small a Division.
B- 1t will be seen from the following
Note, that Cape Fear Div, at Elizabeth Town
Bladen county, has also come nobly up to the
work. She has also set another noble exam
pie, which we would be glad to see followed
on account of the good to the Order which W.
believe would be accomplished thereby. Reat
the letter.
Enclosed I send you T1ccnty Dollars on &C
count Of Cape Fear Division, for the purpos,
of defraying the expenses of State Temper
ance Lecturers. -
Our Division has passed a motion to presen
each of its members with q copy of the Spiri
ofthe Age, who are clear of the T. S. books OF
the first day of January 1854. The move,
think. is a very good one, and if the Division
throughout the State would adopt it, the,
would find it to work we'll. 1t would not on
~ induce the members to pay up their due
punctually, but would be the means of circu
lating a good newspaper in the different sec
tons of the country. and thereby give tn
people much light and information on tn
great moral reform of the day, where the
would probably remain in darkness for ages
r. s..
BP We also acknowledge the receipt {
SIS from South Washington Div. for the pul
chase of Tracts.
Br Edgeeombe Division, S. of T., at Tai
boro,' will hold an Anniversary Celebrate

Band of Music has been engaged for the o
casion. Arrangements will be mad for IL
Young Ladies and Gentlemen to enjoy then
selves at night, at a Social Party. Our Ia
boro' Brethren know so we'll how to get u
and sustain Jubilee occasions of this sor
that we feel justified in saying this will be
grand affair! Let none fail to attend wi
