MEssRs. EDIToRs Summer is at last with
us, with its ardent suns and season of golden
harvest. The prospects of the wheat crop are
very promising in most sections, and the hus- |
bandmen are already calculating upon bour1l-
full harvest Corn has generally come up well,
and is growing off finely. The showers oil yes
terday were mest refreshing to busted humanl-
ty, nd inv gorating TO growing crops.
Busine IS seems .ther dull with us at present;
the fishermen have generally suspended opera
tons, and affairs are moving on at the old pace.
| There are stores enough, too, in our little town,
to do considerable bus ness-there being five,
mere mt lie establishments, besides severLlsmaA
shops. To the credit of the town be it SAID,
these are all temperance stores, with the excep-
ton of one. Our hotel is kept on temperance
primo pies, and is noted for its quiet and good
order now, as it was formerly for ts gambling
and rumselling. There is, also, a tavern in the
lower part of the town, in connection with the
aforementioned store, where the principal ac-
commodation for the public consists, We judge,
in plentiful supply of the "ardent;" which
you know, is meat, drink and lodging to the
/, d' rum sucker" ~
o! when will the time come when these
| pngue-s pots shall be banished from our tail
land? Ever and anon, we hear of q fellow be-
: ing +" taken in " at these avenues Of hell, fall
(; ing Il ct IN to the wiles of the accur=ed tempte
| with n; ruined in fortune and reputation, ant
leaving the world with prospects Of futurity
VII ch we shudder to think of, the requiem O
poor fellow" is sighed over his mourniul fate
and the sp r.t-temCn and its victim, are seen,
l. .ngIy alike forgotten. But, surely, Tiers is
e tine Of retribution coming-and, ii We mista
=, not the signs of the timcs," that period
c hasteping o:y---the period when the people c
ot,I cban rico oil inIf
r The infamous traffic from their midst whc
D they shall administer such w.thcr.ng rebul
70 10 all its hireing supporters as shall cause the
to hide their heads il shame forever. Tt
" feeling in favor Of Prohibition is steadily gal
er ing ground; the community Is becoming mo
tC alive to the evils OF the rum traffic, and ii
he Importance of energetic action in its suppro
-, sion.
;" Many hcart is anxiously listening for Il
DE- ction of the people of your State-manv he
VIII rejoice should you succeed in driving Il
n monster from within your borders-,Ue wou
nd then be encouraged to strike harder in I
en- noble cause; and, we believe, Caroline coun
rv will not be backward in following the good c
ms ample. We would say, continue TO urge
q, the noble strife, by word and deed, and dec
en- the contest in November next, by securi
yo legal Prohibition.
Iir A number of rumsellers have already |
cI your State, and settled along our frontier,
h the purpose Of dealing out liquid death to
r. border inhabitants OF both States Let tn
to come, and by and by, we will throw our temp
,ce ance-net around them, and give them anotl
pa drag; and we hope the time is soon com
ct- when there will be no place found tor then
,ts when their death-dealing business will be :
erv tected by law, and when temperance and sob
by ty shall reign triumphant.
