FRED AND GEoRGE, at the "City
Shaving Saloon" are dHiHg their
very prettiest" to please their pa
trors, and they always succeed.
STANTON, who used to think The
password, Prohibition is not O
failure" ought 10 be ihjelibly
stamped on every temperance mans
heart, will vote for every whisky
and beer guzzier that appears upon
the Republican ticket this Fall.

subserVe the Temperance cause by

FoURTh Of July Pic NIc.-A
Temperance Plc-NIc, under the
management of the McConnelsville
Lodge of Good TeraplarS will 60
from here TO Duncan's Falls, and
back on the Fourth Of judy. The
steamer Mink undertakes to carry
the PIc,NIcers sor fifty cents edch,
the round trip.
MARSHAL DUTToS, and an assiet-
ami from Marietta, arrived here on
Tuesday night ut abodt 10 o'clock,
IN quest of John Armstrong, accus-
ed of stabblng - Stevenson, at
nariettaj on last Saturday night
They arrested two brothers of
Armstrong whSm they fodnd here,
but could not find John. The Two
bEotHet5 NOT being concerned IN the
etdb6ihg ARRAY, they were disehar-
ged. and Dutton and ms assistant
returned homo Wednesday morn
ing. their Trip here having been
fruitless.
Or last Monday evening, the
Malta Lodge of Good TempIars gave
d cake and raspberry festival, to
y hich an invitation had been ex
tended 10 the McConnclsville
lodge. BY some means or other,
We think by the members Of the Nc
ConnelsvIlfe HodgS not beng gen.
aware of the initiation, but
small delegation attended from
this side of the river. Those that
6ere aware of Il, ard that attend
ed, were most cordially receiSed
and very hospitality treated. The
Lodge Room was specially fitted up
for the occasion, and presented u
very neat and attractive appear
ance. A general good feeling per-
Vade5 the entire assembly, and
there wac no lack of good, social
intercourse. If the Good Templar
Lodges of the County would but
imitE:e this effort of the Malta
Lodge, IN Che way Of "re>aniohs,"
It would be Beneficial to the cause.
WITHIN a little over two year,,
Hon. Richard Etantop, Republican
for Representative, and
James B. MeGrew, Republican can
for Auditor, were dreadfuIIy
earnest Prohibitionists on the Sty.-
They hooted the idea that "Prohi-
bitiOn Is impractIeable"; they de-
nounced the old politicaf PARTIES as
corrupt and as being controlled by
the Whisky and Lager Beer ihiu-
enees /; they we're strongly in favor
Of the formation of the third party.
So strongly were they in favor of
organizing a third party il Morgan
county, that Stanton offered to give
ono hundred dollars toward start
ing a Prohibition paper here, and
McGrew offered to take and pay for
fifteen copies of SAID paper If it could
be started. Can anybody account
for the change of opinion in thes,
men, if they were honest then and
are honest n3w7 Has the Repub-
lieah party taken any more advanc-
Ell position on the Temperance
question. than it occupied when
these men denounced it 7. Is there
any less necessity for q Prohibition
party than there was two years
ago? Is the Republican party any
less corrupt than it was when they
they were disgusted with its
corruption ? Now that the 1Sth,
18th, and 10Th Amendments to the
Constitution OF The United Stated
ere Recognized BY all parties as
portions Of the fundar6e1tal law of
ia whole country, IS there greater
for the Republican party
10 rule than there was before the
10th Amendment became u part of
our National Constitution ? Proba-
bly, these gentlemen can answer
tbese questions satisfactorily to the
1911 L.
