Sincerely yours,
THo~. f BUTLER,

We have read with interest the
remarks made against intemperancc
from time to time, by our brother
at North Waldoboro and we wish
him success in all his undertakings to show
up the results of the great evil in his own
town or wherever he may 60 but, brother,
if YOU will come to South Waldoboro you
will see worse state of affairs than your
pen has ever attempted to depict at the
Northern part of the town; drunkenness
and inebriety run riot and are Of the most
common occurrence, especially among the
Young; and those who were but short
time ago professedly Good Templars are
now at the head of weekly dances,
where the intoxicatingl beverage Is
dealt out without regard to moral or civil
law Fight away. brother, and if words
of ours wll do no good there is clause
in our State Constitution, which prohibits
their proceedings and it can be used Lin
coin County Ners.
