YAmmei.'::,.!] dr Co. pn August 23. Tbe use of intoxicating liquors is a bad habit; it matters not where it ooraes from. To sell or handle intoxicating drinks is a bad business; it matters not whether it is a dispensary, saloon or blind tiger. AU should be removed if possible. In the event they are not re moved entirely, every one should keep away from them. The strong will resist temptation. The weak may fall by the wayside. If the dispensary question is to be put to the voters of our State every male citizen % ho is a qualified voter ought to congratulate himslef that he will have au opportunity of casting a vote against such an evil. lu this age the poorest country youth may booome tho richest, host educated and most in fluential citizen, and lifted into a posi tion of truBt and honor, provided he lots whiskey alone and starts out right. There aro a thousand possibilities bound up in a boy who has a clean record and is fitted for any post of duty to winch Providence*may call him. Many are the sad homos on account nf the drink habit. There aro many worthless husbands who loamed to love strong drink in their youth, and as a result liavo brought shame and disgrace upon their families. It is a little hit hard to understand why tho government will tolornte tho salo of liquors. Professing Christians ought, not. "No man having put his hand to tho plow and looking hack is lit for the kingdom of heavou." In this paragraph we have tried to condense and make it plain to tho smallest child that we are a teetotaler and are opposed to tho salo of intoxicating drinks in any form and shall ever bo because wo believe it to bo Bafo and right.
