[Banbridge Leader]: John Smyth of Milltown House at Lenaderg was very proactive in the Temperance Movement and was a trustee of the Temperance Hall. It is believed he, along with a John Simms of Parkmount, were responsible for the building of the hall.<br />In the same year the hall was opened, John Smyth was one of several speakers at the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Temperance Association where he served as President. Showing his great conviction for the principles of the Temperance Association, John gave a long and strong address on what he believed to be the greatest evil of all - “intemperance.”<br />Two years after the hall was built an address by the members of Protection Lodge No 85, of the Independent Order of Good Templars paid tribute to John Smyth.<br />In it they said: “It is well known that you have from early life taken a deep and active interest in the welfare of the people of Milltown and the surrounding locality.<br />“As a strict Total Abstainer, you have set a noble example, while by your voice and your pen you have laboured to promote the sobriety, comfort and happiness of all around.”<br />John replied: “It has no doubt been one of the dearest wishes of my heart, to do all I could to promote the happiness and material welfare of those about me. I soon, however, found the drinking habits of society the great obstacle to this end, and hence my chief efforts were directed to their suppression”.
