For the Gazette.
At a camp meeting held by the Methodist
Society at the Boiling Spring, on Illinois Bayou,
in the County of Pope, on the 3rd September
the necessity of organizing a temperance soc-
iety to said county boing strongly represent-
ed by the worthy Elder of the church, G. W.
Morris, the same took effect, and thereupon the
citizens then present organized themselves into
a society to carry out said purpose, and the
Rev. John Bruton was appointed President,
and Benjamin Langford, Esq., and Stephen
Rye, Esq. Vice Presidents, with seven Man-
agers, Recording and Corresponding Secreta-
ry.  An address was delivered (by the request
of the Elder) by D. W. Coikett, Esq., who,
in a brief but sound speech, highly commenda-
ble to the gentlemen, elucidated the clear ne-
cessity of the success of the cause.
The constitution was adopted, and seventy-
three members signed the pledge.  The num-
ber will most positively be increased. A meet-
ing will take place at the court house of Do-
ver, in said county, on the 30th of October
next, when an address (or more) will be deliv-
ered on the occasion.
