STATE TEMPERANCE SocIErY-Rev. u.
n. Granger, agent Of this Society, was in
town yesterday. and LETT his report for
the Secretary and Treasurer, as required,
up to April -. The report OF his abors
thus far in lccturing, organizing Societies
and obtaining pledges will probably prove
very acceptable to the Committee but
he fears they will not be so well satisfied
with the amount Of his collections, which
have been very small. He thinks has
not "brass" enough to successfully follow
or confront such a man as l.. II. Stone, in
soliciting funds for the State Society. We
trust he will not be discouraged for he is
not responsible for the conduct Of another
over whose course he has no control. In
our opinion the State Society has been
fortunate in the selection of Mr.. Granger
as its a gent. and we think the public may
rest assured that this year the Society has
in its service sincere laborcr, and an
honest man. Witness.
