The number of meetings addressed by representa-
tives of the Association in the course of a year ranges
from 1300 to 1600. The Association fully employs
nine agents and secretary, besides agents in various
parts of the country, who are meantime partially
engaged. Scotland is divided into districts, with head-
quarters in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Galashiels, Aberdeen,
Dundee, Dumfries, and Peebles. The Association
has increased its Parliamentary position materially.
Through its exertions increasingly shared by kindred
Associations the result of the late general election
has been to largely increase the supporters of tem-
perance and prohibitory legislation in the House of
Commons. Fifty Scotch members are pledged to
support the Bill which Mr. M'Lagan, M.P. for Lin-
lithgowshire, has introduced into Parliament, a bill
giving the ratepayers of Scotland power to abolish
all traffic in intoxicating liquors in their respec-
tive burghs, wards of burghs, parishes, and districts
when so minded, and the Executive have resolved to
give his measure a vigorous and sustained support. To
enable them to bring the influence of the Scottish
electorate to bear successfully upon the government
of the day, and in favour of this Bill of Mr. M'Lagan,
liberal subscriptions to the funds are urgently required^
and will be gratefully received at the offices or by the
agents. Subscribers- to the Association of 10s. and
upwards yearly receive a copy of The Reformei- weekly,
free, and of 5 s. yearly, a copy, post free, monthly.
Please note the address — 112 Bath Street, Glasgow.,
