ALI THE Way PROM QUAKER CIrY.-A
runaway couple from Quaker City arrived
here yesterday morning on an early train,
and struck bee line for West Alexander,
where they were quickly spliced together by
Squire Mayes, the veteran matchmaker
in this neck of the woods. Returning to
the city, they left for home on an evening
train, very tired bnt very happy. They
were1hite young he perhaps nineteen or
twenty and she sweet sixteen. As she
wore neither hat nor bonnet, it is safe to
assume that she left home without bidding
the old folks good.by. But, then, love
laughs at old folks and locksmiths.

DON'T MISS TIE CHANCE.

Our old and our young fellow
citizens should not fail to declare
themselves temperance men, now that
the Murphy movement is inaugurated
in their midst. Old men who value
their influence over the rising genera
ton cannot afford to throw themselves
across the path Of such a work and
oppose lis spread. Young and middle
aged men, who have future before
them, dare not longer imperil their
manhood by indecision on the temper
ance question. Any young man who
has formed n habit, however slight, OF
secret or public tipping, is nursing in
his bosom q viper that will eventually
bury deep its fangs into his character,
poisoning his inner nature and bank
rupting his worldly prospects. Look
around you, my young friends. There
is future of eminent usefulness await
ing you if you have but the pluck and
high daring to step forward against all
odds and grasp the glittering prize.
Don't loiter and NOPE by the wayside
don't dwarf: by Incidence or the de-
grading love of case, the noble i'm
pulses of your being, but move ahead
to develop the higher and purcr
elements of your nature, and strive to
ornament your lives with intellectual
and moral excellence.
In order TO succeed on this high
plane Of action YOU must become and
continue consistent temperance man.
Our community has many sad life
wrecks, resulting alone from intemper,
ate habits. These remain as mournful
but instructive guide posts to point
you, not in the way they went, bat
along the highway Of moral rectitudc
and personal purity.
1t is now reduced to q business
truism that no one is a safe business
man who is q habitual drinker of
ardent spirits A merchant or any
tradesman who falls into such habits
is at once suspected of financial en-
barrassment, or 1t is reasonable to infer
that he will soon become thus involved.
This is the view taken Of all such per-
sons by the world. It Is very just
estimate.
But we plead with our young men
to be temperate that they may thereby
contribute 10 the elevation Of their
character and the enrichment Of their
lives in all mental and moral beauty.
Don't live like a brute, content with
sordid animal qualification. but consult

lee-shore OF confirmed drunkenness.
Stop and count the cCst!
