After having thoroughly canvassed the camp-ground at Essex Junction with pledge papers, obtaining 187 signers, 119 of whom became members of the H. and T. society, a meeting was called upon the grounds on Monday, Sept. 15, at 9 A. M., for the organization of a State Health and Temperance Association.

After some very appropriate remarks by Eld. G. I. Butler, it was voted to proceed to the organization of a State society. Eld. Butler was elected chairman, and W. C. White secretary of the meeting. The Constitution and By-laws were then read, and adopted by a unanimous vote.
