L. L. Waonon, T. C. Duncan,

Stop! Think! Consider!
Oil! how many christians and
how many church members have
we stunned by the terrible curso
that has lieen set up in our midst.
My brother, my sister, God tells
us to lay not temptations Ixdore
thy weaker brother.
I Now, my brother and sister, let
mo appeal to your true spirit which
is Christ in the person. Open your
eyes and look through the faith you
have in your God. Can't you see
the curse set up right here with a
smiling face to meet the weak
Christian and minor lx>y?
i Here they stand day after day
haiiding out the cursed stuff that
fires the brain and destroys the
God-given powers of man.
Oh! this liquor curse! Churches
what are you doing, arc you sleeping?
Awake and arm yourselves
against the wilds of the devil that
comes through strong drink. Where
is the man, say nothing of Christianity,
but just the man, that can
stand up and say the world is free,
I have nothing to do with it. If a
man wants to vote in the cursed
stuff let him vote, and if he wants
to drink down the fiery flame, let
him drink it.
Is thore a man among us that can
say this? I hope not. I trust that
every man, especially Christians,
yes, the full membership of the
church, also the man that has fallen
victim to the cursed stuff and
his mental powers weakened by the
destructive flames of the stuff * that
brings the curse upon our land.
Now, is there one that can stand
and say,-Ix't him vote, or let him
vote, or let him drink.
If any man can vote for the powers
of the devil to sway our country.
There is not one that can do it
with his face turned heavenward;
God soy8 so. Put not the bottle to
thy brother's mouth.
Put on the breastplate of eternal
lifn onrl
liivf HUV4 Ullll JUUIDC1VUJ5 U^illlirtt tut*
soul destroyer, the clear, the red
and sparkling devil with his smiles.
God is our refuge. Stand firm,
cry out, away with the cursed stuff,
away with it.
Christian, you must hind yourselves
in a bundle against the curse
that the wicked one has chosen and
brought into our town claiming the
needs of the dividend to educate
the hrain. I appeal to our churches,
not one, but all, come ye out from
among the world and be ye a separate
people. Let your light shine,
may it be as a city set upon a hill,
so the world will have to raise its
head and l<x>k up to Christ's followers.
Christian, can't you stand
firm and fight the good fight of
faith. Speak out for the Ixml. If
you 'can't speak, rise and stand
firmly on your feet, till the victory
is won.
We hear a man say, "My father
always kept something nice to drink
on his sideboard, and it didn't hurt
me." 1 esteem my father's view
of matters. He was a broad minded
man, not weak or narrow, he
wanted the world to rush on, have
a good time. But, oh! man where
1 are you? The son that the father
put the bottle to his mouth. Where
are you standing Unlay? Are you
that shining light for Christ, or,
are you in the gutter with the
drunkard?
There are only two sides to this
question, the rigltt side and the
wrong side. Now, if Clod be God,
serve him, but if Baal be God serve
him. Take time to reason with
the true God, ere when too late you
will find that you are influenced by
the devil, then he bitetli like a serpent
and stingeth like an adder.
The Workers,
Bam and forage Burned at
Cross Keys.
Tuesday night about nine o'cloek
the barn of Mr. Barney G. Wilburn

WHY?
Why is it that wo have tilled so
great a numl>er of proscriptions
luring the last sixteen months?
Our files show that we have done a
remarkable business in the matter
of filling prescriptions. Way up in
the thousands, and our business increasing
every day. We are proud
to know that the reason our prescription
work grows is in the fact
that we do just what we promise:
We use only the purest and best
urugs, ana we charge you a reasonable
profit. Wedon'tgivc rebates nor
cut-rates nor anything else. Merit
is the bed-rock principle?Merit;
and reasonable profits. If these
endk should fail us, we can afford
to fail. But our business goes merrily
on. Our friends are increasing
every day. If you have not given
us a trial, we heartily invite you to
ilo so. Cold drinks, druggist's sundries,
toilet articles, fine cignrs and
tobaccos, pipes and cigar holders?
these arc some of our additional
lines. You are invited to give us a
call. -We arc constantly aiming to
widen our business.
