Elective, live working institution, aud
ranks high in a social and intellectual
point % view; aud the best OF our peo-
ole do not consider il beneath their
lignity, consequence, aud Importance
to belong to q Lodge of Good Templars;
md ii we have not the best talent in this
vicinity in our lodge, we shall be pleased
t. have "our betters' pointed out TO rs,
nd their eXcellencies deliheaicd that we
can copy their graces, worth, aud yir-
ues. Our lodge continues TO increase in
humhers and eXerts very beneficial
influence IN this community. There Is no
place IN Mount Tabor or Dandy where
'outraband spirits are sold or suspected
i being sold. Cur lodge has not had n
very good chance at retaining drunk
uds, for we have but small amount of
The raw material TO work upon. We
nave had two or three OF those hard
asses, who were perfect slaves to rum !;
.uch as ihese can not be cured by ordinary
treatment, aud of course will 20 back to
heir cups. Before the abolition Of slay-
rry in this country, we all knew that a
contract with slave could not be en-
forced or observed If the master rcpudia-
ed the Contract il contract IL can be cal.
rd. King Alcohol rrpndiates the con
racts TO reform one Of his slaves. Every
lruukard must "RcvolutioniLe" or he
Sill ever remain slave.
