Now see how 1 am digressed, for I had decided, after much serious thought to write you a quite dif ferent letter from thta and must bog your readers to bear with me la thta, aa I do think variety in our county weeklies make very in teresting reading to most of ns. But, Mr. Editor, while 1 well know this letter ta already too long, yet I beg space to any what I Intended writing you for tho last few days, namely: To eall yours, aad all good men’s attention to tho tendency of our pooplo to dis regard both tho laws of God and our county, aad call their attention in plain language to our obligation aad our responsibility as to the moral and religious stand and of our future generations. While I commend you in your fight against the one greet evil. I like and will maybe, in the near future with your permission try in my plain and honest way to point out the dam age of the neglect of the many oth er growing evils that are corrupt ing our people, and turning all your guns on the whiskeys traffic. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I will say: I believe we will have to use more persuasive powers on our people, for better results to use tho lash so strongly. Hie old ad- dags will still hold good here. "You can lead the horse to water, but yon can’t make him drink.’’ I again promise that I shall write more at length on the above sub ject if you will publish thta and your many readers sxcuse any aad all seeming errors.
