All our cornmencement guests are gone and there arc some. sad hearts in towvn but time works wonders. Mr. Editor, I don't intend to get into a controversy with you over tihe dispensary, but there are some points in the case that we desire to notice. You call attention to the amount of money that the county and town now receives as revenue. WVe want to set up :he misery andI shame that follows in its train as an asset as well. No, it is not a question of dollars. The queston is. is it wrong and if it is there is only one thing to do and that is to vote it out, and keep it out. And there is no pecuniary going that can compensate for a violatd conscience, and we want to say that every church member who vo:es for the continu ance of such on evil violates lhis ob ligations to his church and to his God. One of the best rules for guid God's blessing on your vote for su great an evil? Can you pray for a blessing to rest up..n such a vote? These are the oucs-,;ons to my mind that must be ett!d and 95 per cent: uf the voter of F. .,.]-<rry county aie church members ..m if they wil vote in keeping with their profession the work is accomplished at once. If it is wrong cnn we afford to do it at all? It is our duty to do the right, the result will take care of itself. We hope to see a full meeting and a mammoth petition as the result of that meeting. In the position we take on the dis pensary we do not want to see a re turn to old conditions. If we can't get rid of i: and must have it sold I1 prefer the dispensary plan. L.et is vote out the dispensary. the! t,ture will take care of itself. Some are saying vote ut the dis1e arV Vn we Will have a Wide open county.. Is Green wood "'wide open"?
