Sons or TEMPEuANCE.-Will you allow me space
in your columns, TO say word in behalf OF this
excellent organization? " The Order Of the Sons
of Temperance after having been almost eXtin-
guished by the events of the past four years, has
succeeded in re- establishing itself in this and
many other communities in our State. One of the
consequences of the war; land that not an unim-
pOrtant One), is n greater demand for such an or
ganzation, and largely increased field for its
operations, now, more than ever before. The
fearful increase of intOmperance calls upon all
true men to combine to resist its powerful intlu
ence Our order seeks TO do this by 4 social and
fraternal combination; it labors for the protec-
ton and advancement Of human happiness it
seeks to be what it was once not inaptly styled,
The shield Of the hearthstone, the strength Of
the country, and the handmade of religion"
What is social life without its sympathies and
friendships? 1t is our aim to extend these SYM
pathies TO those. who unaided. are not able to
withstand the fatal influence Of intemperance. To
make our order more effective and more worthy
of its great object, we need the aid and cO-opera-
ton of our fellow-citizenS, who are kindly dis
posed TO our cause.
If all who favor the cause of Temperance. would
unite in this institution to throw their influence
against the use o. intoxicating drinks how potent
for good that influence would be. We believe the
order of Sons of Temperance to be the most elf
oient organization which has yet been devised for
carrying the Temperance reform. II is more
simple yet effective in its working; better adap-
ted TO reach the masses of the people. There
now three Divisions in active operation in this
city. Temple Division No. % meets every Thurs
day night, and Tennessee Division. No. "a, meets
every Friday night at Temperance Hall, in the
m NI.-... 1Ns,r1=s
meets every Wednesday night in South Nashville.
We would call upon all, VINO wish well to the
cause. to unite themselves with one Of these or
carnations, and aid US in promoting healthy
public opinion upon this subject, SO that it may
soon become as fashionable, and laudsble not 10
drink. as il now seems to be TO do SO. And we
would call upon all who addicted to the use Of
intoxicating drink, and yet have any intention to
renouncc the habit, to come and join MS; for we
will encourage and strengthen them in their rcso-
luton, and prove to them our interest in their
welfare. A Son OF TEMPERANCE.
