in the cellar, as yet undisturbed, and he

Brothers Sargent, Gallup and Miles
are in usual health, busy as bees i'll
Tune, getting ready for the special town

would be if we temperance Cranks would
ioin hands with the rum suckers, wine
bibbers and beer guzzlers, and all stop
using the darned stuff that has been the
cause of so much happiness and misery
the past fifty years. We see no other
way to ruin the rum industry but to
stop using it. We have already stopped
twice since the new year commenced
and shall again if the occasion demands
it. We are determined to ruin the rum
industry of this nation, if talking and
stopping will do it. Let us be united,
brothers and sisters, in the greatest,
grandest cause known to the human
family, except one-Qet us stopl.
