That inasmuch as the traffic in intoxicating liquors is the direct cause of a large proportion of the poverty, crime and wretchedness in the community, it is the duty of every good citizen to endeavor to suppress it by the use of every lawful means. The Fourth of July, 1846, was celebrated by an oration by Rev.

Bishop, where a public dinner and post prandial speeches were enjoyed.
