No one can vote, except at the precinct lor which he iei>in tercd; and in addition to proof of payment, of taxes must show a registration oolitic ate alined by at least two of the Hoard of Registration, insiied under the Conalilution <if |S'.)5.

If In* name" is not on precinct book he . tnuyt also produuo a registration certificate showing his right to yote at that precinct. ' In his sorroon last Sunday morn ing Rev. L. A. Mitchell touched upon tho li<juor trofHc. In piui Mr. Mi to hall said: "Tho question of voting out, or retaining the manufacture and sale of liquor eifects every man, wi> mau and child in the county, Stato and nation. Here the people are sovereign. We can have what wo want. Kvery man makes ihe community hotter or worse. If hv your vote you help to put the hot tie to your neighbor's lips you me responsible before God for the act ? and as much sr> as if you handed him the bottle. We are our broth er's keeper whether wo will or not. One man who drinks continually in tliis city, but who does not want it sold said: "It is a pity that the church me in hers will not vote the thing out with us fellows who drink and want to get lid of it." 1 have no mud to throw fit, nor hard names to cull the man who sells liquor. If I were going t<? throw mud at any one it would he at the church member who by his Vote makes it possible for the stud to be sold. Kvery man is under ob ligation to make the government the host it can be made. The man who votes in favor of criuio and lawlessness deprives you and nn of good government. Much hss been published of lale that sceuin plausible on its face; much more has been published that is so non sensical that it is foolish even i<> notice it. Here iy our own cits when the dispensary was closed twe weeks there was not one hi rest for drunkenness. I'lie first morning it was re-opened-G drunks were up before the recorder. The police court d<cket shows thai about 90 per cent, of tho fines for ihe past year have been caused di ' reotiy^or indirectly by liquor. Do \ not sell the souls of men for a few paltry pennies. Do not vote for lawlessness, crime and poverty. I)r. Peters, of Now York, said : "I have .V the profoundest contempt for the man who prays like an angel and . voles liko the de^U." Cast a vote for law, order, sobriety* righteous Bess, hone, family, county, State, ftfttly# Uftd iid God." 17 The people of Kuraba w C mot) are waked to giVe Wlilrk. y umlci tin?

Youth for better times, Voter. Mr MeCnsliill to Mr. Hough Mr Klilor: ? Willi nil duo respect to Mr. W. R. II.?u of 11 hikI hII oilier hi! v mm les of the dispensary it seems peculiar til ft t Mr. Hough ran in the ln?t election opposing local option, whh elected by iiic 11 i>p posed to it, and while in iIn* K?nalo he fought against it and now turns around m n 11 fit?h!s (or il. I n ndersland t)it while he whs in th?* Seuale lie advocated prohibition and cv?.n voted for it against the Carey Colli ran hill. He now says the count v dispensary is much hotter than either the S'ate dispensary or prohibition, and tiguros and llgurcs to show how much will he derived from the county dispensary. That cettalnly is slr:inge. H-is he just now waked up? Wliv he talks as though the county cannot e xI h t without 111?* dispensary. When u county cannot run without the profits fi*din tho dispensary I say let it drop. He says tuxes will in crease. Taxes are higher now than they were before Iho Uw was en acted ; and if taxes were to go a little higher, I am willing (and s<> is every christian thinking man) to pay more if il ssves only one man from a drunkard's grave, to sny nothing of the suffering of the women and children. When the dispensary is voted out let every one of us who voted against it put our shoulders to the wheel and help enforce the law, and I am sure that illicit stiles will he curtailed. While Mr. Hough hinges a great deal upon the- dissatisfaction of those counties which havo voted out the dispensary, ! have a*or. several letters from Mayors of the different towns that now have pro hibition and they all speak well of tho condition of affairs. If Mr. Hough\will show mo whero any of tnese Wuntles are suffering to any extent financially (to say nothing of the suffering of women and children) I will join hands with him and vote for the dispensary.
