A trial was had on June 30,
near Warren, ILL.,, where, as u.s.

Editor Home Journal:

s"''o NAe"s
The laws OF our State not any tolerate
out license this erecrable business. The
Legislature has exercised the ripht tc
close the grog-shops on election days. and
If they can be closed on election days and
Sundays, they can be closed every day IN
the week, and for all future time.
Winchester Is almost solely dependant
on her schools for what little Of prosperity
she enjoys, and the principal school Is the
Mary Sharp College, which has, usually.
over 200 pupils.
We have two large and commodious
structures-the Robert DonnelI, a female,
and the Carrick, q male Academy--in
both of which there will probably be
schools taught, If competent teachers can
be had. Now, If this infamous tippling
law was abolished in District No. l, what
a change IN the prosperity of our schools
and'o u place would be seen and felt, and
acknowledged by all.
Let the fact become widely known that
the sale Of intoxicating drinks Is prohib-
tied in and around Winchester tor three
or iour miles, and we will soon see the
good effects in the increased number of
pupils attending our schools, and the in
creased prosperity and happiness Of our
people.
Where liquors are displayed In such al
Turing forms, il ia no'easy matter to go
within the magic circle oftlle gay decelyer
without being bit; and aDhen a man is bitten
once ii only creates a morbid thirst for more
frequent bites. Then all the bad passions
of our nature come to the surface, and dis
play themselves in some breach of the
peace or conduct so bOisterous as TO render
it I'm pleasant, if not unsafe, for ladies to
walk the streets.
viii any man dare deny that tippling is
q curse, and a public nuisance? No mat
ter how clearly, how deccntly groceries
are kept, they all deal out the stuff that
renders the imbiber callous to all the bet
ter influences of morality and religion,
and dangerous to society. He becomes, to
some extent, a mailman, and the sam laws
enacted for insane persons ought to be applied
to The whisk0y maniac.
Tie laws of our State make all contracts
have al immoral tendency null and
void, Then does not the contract to buy
a glass Of "tigcr's milk" have an immoral
tendency? If yea, then let every good
citizen petition the next Legislature, in
consideration Of our large interests in ed
ucational establishments, to give the peO-
pie of this Civil District the chance to ap.
ply the scalpel to this obnoxious excres-
upon the body polite.

A TRUE SAyING.-An exchange very
appropr lately remarks that every citizen
ofa town ought to be interested In build
ing 1t up. Every capitalist: of a town
ought to use his means in stimulating some
wealth producing industry. The man
who invests his money in an establishment
that makes plows, thu eshers, reapers, now
ers, wooden goods. ETC. is local benefac-
tor. There is no mistake about him. All
such enterprises naturally stimulate the
growth and add to the wealth oftlle COM
munities in which they are established.
Every dollar kept at home has its advanta-
ges, more or less, for every citizen. The
most wealthy and prosperous cities m
towns in the world are those that work
ON the cooperative %plan-that aim to build
uptheir W merchants, IN anu%iacturers,
laborers mechanics, etc. Every cent di-
verified from home is so much taken from
home consumers, and lessons to a greater
or less extent, the ability of home men to
meet theirliabilities.

Editor Home Journal:
Please give me q little space in the col
umns Of the Journal for this article.
l say now, what l have said in days gone
by, that the best and kindest people in the
world live in Franklin county, Tennessee
In proof of which I refer You and your
many readers to the following: Our Dis
trict Association convened here Friday
before the 2d::Sabbath this instant. compos-
ed Of delegates representing some 10 or e
churches: and the church here, knowing
their house to be incapable to hold the
large number expected from town and
country, made q committee Of David Bone
and myselfto petition the officers Of G. p,
Church for the Use of the basement story
of that building. Mr.. f. A. Loughmiller,
Mr.. James Logan, Mr.. Madison Porter.
and DR.. II. r. Estill were the ones applied
to-. All of them consented cheertnlly, and
give me many words of kind instruction,
saying they were always willing to help
those who were trying to do light. The
Association voted them many thanks Tor
their kindness, and implorcd for them the
blessings ofan All-wise God.
The committee, on order. OF David Bone
and Virgil l.umlin, reported very good
conduct. considering so large a crowd.
The main cause ofthat, you have already
spoken of in your issue Of the 18th, I was
truly glad to see you notice us; and fur
ther state. that You never will see as many
negroes frequenting groceries again as
they have in the past, for all, or very near
all. of the colored men who are worthy
of any note, have pledged themselves not
to drink whisky any more asa beverage.
/ sincerely hope and trust the day is not
far distant when cOlored servants will
have learned their duty to their employers,
and will not leave them without giving
them some satisfaction with regard to the
cause of their leavieg,-if it is only to 60
to a Picnic, or to take care of a preacher
or a delegate while the Association lasts.
1t does seem to me, if they have a good
home, that they might get some one to fill
their places for a day or two at least. This
l think, my colored friends, would he the
better course in future.
I read with pleasure, and regret, too,
your plain talk about dram-drinking. SOr-
ry that the picture drawn is too true: but
happy that some of us, both black and
white. are about to outlive the demoral-
izing influence of daily dram-drinking.
Now. Mr.. Editor, before | close, please
give me your reasons for saying. in your
issue of July 20, that the negro and color
ed people enjoyed the Picnic ;-and.i in
your issue ofl7th inst. speak OF the ne
gro's prosperity, and say nothing about
the colored man. 1t is not that l object
to the term, Negro but ] have been asked
the difference between the negro and col
ored man. If you will tell me, you will
much oblige your servant.
