The members of the International Society
arrested yesterday for attempting to para re

Address John haywood, Cor. Sec. 1t is pro-
posed to work tor the cause OF temperance

drinking, and when member falls to kindly
take him by the hand and assist him on his
feet again. The meetings are interesting, the
members telling their experience and remind
ing us of the good old Washingtonian times,
when dram drinking was less fashionable than
now. This movement has developed quite
number of speakers who will, on application,
give temperance lectures anywhere within
reasonable distance of Augusta. We are
afraid that the temperance people have pur-
sued the rumseller, to the neglect of the
