LETTER FROM ToNTOGANY.


loNIooANrf Jan. dvi 1919
Ep. JouRSAL ;-It having been long time
since have troubled you with a oonmunica.
tion, thought would beg your indulgence for
briefly submitting 10 The readers OF the JovRxAL
some Of the dbings Of our town.
II ia an old saying that zone sbriveebest that
minds his own bust !" but some ono, IL
seems, has been diSobeying this maxim, for
during the last term Of oour, there might have.
been seen divers individuals vending their way
10 the "eounty seat" while others were Runlinga
"hole" and "drawing the hole 10 after thsm.''
But it seems that enough we're uuholsd aud
made TO report at headquarters, the result Of
which was the indicting OF two (alr we'vo got)
Of our saloon keepers in the moderate number
Of twenty-one indictments, for violation Of the
liquor law. All, too, in tho little town Of Ton
togauy, noted for its temperance societies aud
| the great center OF mornl reform.
Our friend aud tow wnsman, Captain Black,
misteriously disappeared last week, and for a
time 1t was feared he had been foully dealt with,
butt in due time he returned, bearing with him II
prize more valued than reubios or gold. Good
by, Cap May lits's pathway be both smooth
and pleasant, and no cloud darken your journey
through life.
A series OF meetings have been in progress al
the Methodist church, Rev. Mr.. Moore pastor
Some accsssions have been made TO the church
Last week was a week Of prayer by the Presby
, terian church, aud we learn that they intenC
protractng their meetings under the charge o
Rev. Mr.. Vance. Tbs friends Of the Universa
persuasion, learn, have about completed ihei
arrangements for the psxt year, by again secur
ing the services Of Rev. Mr. Bmes.
{ Trade aud business has been good, consider
ing the low price of grain. Farmers, however
are cautious about dipping in" while ever
thing they have to sell is hardly worth carryin
i to market. And here lot mo say that tho da
is not far distant when steps will be taken [
e correct some Of the wrongs that tho laborin
classes are now suffering. 1t is a nOioriou
fact that with all the great improvements i
:, machinery aud the means OF transportation, th
!, producer is compelled to pay 10 get his graf
: into market more than double what it Coz
twenty five years ago, when the msanA Of trani
portation was far inferior to what we have a
the present time. The gigantic corporation

is the world. With neither souls, conscience {
e honor, aud devoid Of principle, they have er
IT tered our Legislative halls, aud have subornc
the integrity of its members and controlled leg
lation in their interest, regardless Of publ
y good. Nor is this ALL These soulless corpori
! tions have insinuated themselves within cour
- :, OF justice, and he who wears the judicial ermir
" has held the scales of justice unequaly polse
" regardless OF justice or right. The people hav
been called upon at various times to meet grei
IN and important questions and they will SOC
ID have to meet these corporations on a publ
Ys issue. The sooner tLis is done the better it ",
le be for the masses. Ualer proper legislatic
Of aud restrictions these corporations can be mac
of great service to tue country, aud at the san
time do a bussess that will amply remupera
them. As it is, few individuals are amassin
- fortunes that seem almost fabulous. I'll

70 the Golfers Of few millionariss, who to-ds

e. interests Of the nation. TYSON.
