Mr.. EDITOR /: Inasmuch as it is believed
by many thatthe people of Sullivan Co.
ere mostly Old Liners aud lovers Of good
whisky, it may be interesting to some Of
your readers to learn that Temperance has
proved triumphant in the town OF Farmers
burg. The FIRST house built in the town
was dedicated to old King Alcohol. and he
has been doing good service for bis father,
the Devil. whose subjects were increasing
to an alarming extent. Wives aud mothers
have Teen made to weep and lament over
fallen sons aud husbands. The few re-
naming friends of Temperance have been |
ar xIously looking to the lsw making power !
for legal protection in the form of good
Temperance law, but at every session they
have served US as the Dutchman did his
calves to keep them from starving ; hi
corn began to fail 10 mid winter and the
only chance to save his calves was to get
them TO eat cobs, which he did after the
following manner he took a nubbin OF
corn ia one hand aud a cob in the other
at sight OF the corn the calves would open
their mouths TO receive it, aud the Dutch
man would thrust 10 a cob. We only got
one nubbin of corn and Perkins said it W as
rotten Since that il we open our mouths
in anticipation of getting sound nubbin,
cob Tor license law has been thrust in -
Being thus left to our own resources few
of US resolved TO fight the old King even
unto the gates of the city. A series of
Temperance meetings was held during the
past winter, and two of the citizens of Far
mersburg who have been engaged in the
WHISKY traffic. quit the business and signed
the pledge ; Zone Of them lectures in behalf
of Temperance,) the third aud last one
seemed TO be determined TO sell the accur-
sed stuff, in spite Of all opposition. But
the sword that he was sending out to cut
down his fellow beings was on the even
ing OF the 9Th instant pointed at his
own vitals. A brother who for some
; time had shown symptoms Of falling sick
ness, had an attack of mania potu Cor some
Other mania) caused by the use Of strych
nine whisky. and had it not been for
timely aid aud the use Of few strings, he
(the vender) might have been the first to
have fallen by the sword OF the spirit OF
old King Alcohol. he now could see his
brother bound hand aud foot, could hear
his cries and bitter osths, and taste of the
fruits of his labors. His eyes were opened
he saw he had sinned, and he resolved to
make sacrifice to atone for his sin so on
the following morning he took his stock OF
liquors (about SIS WORTHY and poured them
out. and old mother Earth swallowed them
up. For all of which we thank God and
take courage.
And now in conclusion let me say to one
and all who may desire a village location
that Farmersburg is the place To the ab
, sencs Of old King Alcohol peace and pros
perity will prevail. 1t is healthy loca
ton, surrounded with a rich and fertil,
soil, with IN abundance Of good coal.
