establishment of the bar'room at this
Mace it has been the down fall of
two Of our male citizens. One is
now in jail at Gainesville charged
with being counterfeiter; the 9TH

around bar~rooms fall into the snares
Of the Tempter. Young men, If you
wish to retain the respect OF your

serve your moral character, If you
wish to preserve all that true man

as you would the fangs Of the vene

Good Templars are not fanatics
but philanthropists. Their princi~
pies are based upon the soundest
logic, and best reason, and so grand
is the application of these principles
that none but the willfully ignorant
or blindly prejudiced would seek to
retard their success. The orgaEiza-
ton is large enough for the world
and good enough for all. 1t is broad
and unsel6sh aud we are surprised
that any man or woman can be found
openly combating it. Teetotalism
is the grand principle of the Order
and this alone prevent others from
becoming druhkardS. Moderation is
dangerous, teetotalism is safety
Total abstinence from all that can
intoxicate, is what we would write
upon the mind and heart of every
living human being, there to re-
main until the last stroke of time is
heard, and life's rolling tide forever
quoted.

Hum drinker, there is a demon
lnrking in that glass. His eye is
fixed upon you. He has selected
you as his victim. Only drink and
he will take up his abode within
you, and commence those insidiOus
operations which will be likely to
end in your eternal destruction
Refuse the liquor, though it be only
glass of ale or beer or light wine,
for it contains the deadly poison
Tread on the head of the vile SER
pent as soon as you see him. DO
not play with him. He may sting
you before you are aware. In this
age of great temptation the best
sanctuary for moral virtue next to
piety-and the two should ever go
together--is in total abstinence from
all that will intoXicate.

We congratulate the farmers of Meek

gressive spirit which has led them to do
away and abolish forever the old fence
law, the most oppressive, as it is at this
day the most absurd, Of all the many
burdens laid upon the broad back of
agriculture. Since the Patrons of Hus-
bandry have taught the agricultural
mind to think, we trust it will not be
long before the farmers discover the
manifest injustice of a law which com
pels a man, before he can enter into the
enjoyment of his property, to enclose his
land, at a first cost in many cases equal
to its value in fee-simple, and at an an
nual cost thereafter in repairs of ten per
cent. on the original outlay. In the
name of all that is equitable, why do moi
