Editors People’s Friend I The increase of bii>itie>- in iny oflice, and the promptne-N that has chanietenzvil the action at the Lkig< Deputies in send ing in their reports for the present term, are significant of the growth ot the Order ot Good Templars in this State- It is gratifying to *ce the increase in member ship during the la«t term, which is the worst term in they-ar tor our advance, and then read, the many ciieouiaging rej-arts which are received tw every mail, the actual increase in membership will be over ten per cent, in the old lodges, with a brig ade of tvverity'one new lodges, reporting nearly cute thousand menibeis. Several of these new lodges reporting ncwlji one hun dred members with their first report, and in the last six days as many supplies have been sent firth for the estabiiuhuient of new lodges. The Good Templars have} done a noble work in Georgia, and from . present indications are more in earnest and ; more prosperous now than ever before, and , ! are just now beginning to realize the fact i that they are a power in the land, and can ' make their power felt- lhere are now means perfected for introducing the order I more universally and establisbiug lodges ' in all the counties yet without the benefits j ;of the order. With this effort, and a | zealous self-sacrificing adhes ou to the - ! work by the officers and members of the i ! many lodges that are now to- j ! gather with the influence of the Good , Templar conventions ihat will be held m many parts of the State during the spying and summer, we need have no fear of ac : compli.-hing great good during the present i year. Everything i.s propitious, and only , i a determined effort is now necessary to . reclaim ouASiatc from this vice. As an i in-lex to wliat the order of Good Templars . ar enow doing, 1 give you the following ex- i ; tracts from leiteis received in the last lew : days: ; Bro. W. W. Ostin writes from Eaton i ton: “Some of the lodges are doing j well, others nothing. Would to God some i thing could be done to stir them up. They have dune more <rf>pcti'cnt good in this county than al! other agencies comuined. Tt.ey should do a good work, as there are nine lodges that receive their mail at Ea . tonton, and it miuht be expected that where so many lodges are so clo-e together, that some of them would find but little to do, more than maintain their positions.. Brother Attaway writes from Cassville : “ 1 scud you five dollars collected by me to be appropriated to the Grand Lecturer s salary, together with the dues of the I Lodge. Our prospects arc very good, > ; although our membership is small. ■ Bi other Radford writes from Rock Mart : "I < nisi ler our Lodge a.-’ . tand- ' lug on a fii'.i.cr basis than at. any former period, which fact is established by the \ devotion to the cause manifested by our members an ! the number of applications ' now before the Lodge for action.
