TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT..
Conducted by
Progress.

The year 1873 has been mark
ed as one of the most important
in the history Of the Temperance
Reform. There has been prog
ress all along the line. From
one end of the country to the
other come tidings Of cheer in
every department of the work.
More churches have been opened
to the cause and more sermons
delivered than in former years.
Sons of Temperance, Good Tenn
plars, Temples of Reform, Reform
Clubs, State Societies and nu-
merous other organizations and
agencies have made greatEecord
of worthy deeds and efficient
progress. In no year previous
has there been such mark
ed and increased interest in the
enforcement of law and the en-
tire suppression of the traffic.
In the medical department there
has been a wonderful awakening
to the Importance of scientific
investigation, and alcohol is fast
taxing its fi '>c'e among other
highly dangerous Pcc;;sons. It's
more and more clearly seen that
total abstinence is the only true,
safe and righteous position for
the individual and absolute
prohibition the correct policy fer
the State.' Let us then thank
God and take courage; close up
the ranks; fight your enemies
and not your friends. The time
has come for a more perfect uni
ty Of purpose and effort. Let
the motto be Salvation for the
drunkard and the humiliation
of the trafficp and may God
defend the right.-Nat. TEN. ~

Spencer Unpleasantness

Last Monday week Attorney
General Woodlands scalp mar
rowly escaped adjoining the wig
wan of some ''big Injun" in Van
Buren, county.
The difficulty had it's origin in
a letter that Mr.. Woodland wrote
to the clerk of the court at Spen-
Ger in which, referring to the fail
ure of the grand jury to find an
indictment against any one for
selling whiskey within four miles
Of Burritt college, he said that it
looked like enough bad men
were always put on grand jury
to keep a bill of Indictment from
passing through. Some of the
Van Burenites thought it reflec-
ted upon their county as well
as the jury, and rather than al
low anything to mar her fail
fame, took it upon themselves to
vindicate her. A mob was i'm
Iminent for awhile, but the turbu-
lent spirit was put down and
now "All is quiet on the Poto-
mae" "Mr. Woodland behaved
himself in manly and dignified
manner, and met all charges a
gainst him with a fimness that
convinced many he meant nc
wrong"

Odd-Fellows' Celebration

The anniversary celebration Al
Kelso last Saturday was as com.
plete a success as the most ar.
dent friends of the Order could
wish. Visiting brethren were
present from the lodges at Null
berry, Flintyille, New Market
Georges Store and Fayetteville,
At IL o'clock the procession was
formed at the lodge-room and
marched to the speaking ground.
where a short recess was an
nomced for the purpose of ma
king some necessary arrange
ments, after which an appropri-
ate prayer was offered by chap
lain j. c. Hague. At its con-
clusion the speaker Of the day,
George b. Boyles, Esq, was in
troduced to the large audience,
and delivered one Of the most
appropriate addresses that we
ever listened to. He traced the
Order from its establishment in
the United States from Europe
in 1919 till the present time,
showing how it had grown from
one lodge with half dozen MEM
bers to eight thousand lodges
with an active, efficient, disci-
plined army Of four hundred and
forty-fiye thousand contributing
brethren-with a systematic rec
ord Of relief extended to dis
tressed brothers, widows and CT
phans Ct many millions Of dol
lars, showing that the imperative
command Of the Order is reli-
giously observed, TO ''yisit the
sick, relieve the distressed, visit
the widow, educate the orphan
and bury the dead" These rules
Of action, which are taught and
enforced, as is known to every
community where a lodge is To-
Gated, the speaker thought, should
commend the Order to all right
thinking citizens. At the con-
clusion Of the address, which
lasted nearly an hour, the bene-
diction was pronounced by the
chaplain, after which the process
sion was reformed and marched
to the dinner table where g
bounteous feast was spread
Meats of various kinds, pies
custards, cakes, corn and light
bread were there in profusion; in
fact, the provisions spread upor
the tables, which aggregated five
hundred feet in. length, would
have fed twice as many as were
present. In all of the large
crowd, which numbered not lesi
than fifteen hundred persons, We
did not see, nor hear, Of a per.
son who hung out a whiskey
sign. Sobriety, order and COCO
feeling ruled the day, and we are
sure that all who participated il
the festivities remember the oc'
casion with pleasure. Dinnel
over, the Order returned to the
lodge room, and the services
were closed in "due form"
We wish to return our ac
acknowledgements for the abund
ant courtesies and kindly ex
pressions received on our visit
That portion of the county il
occupied by hospitable, gener
ors-hearted people.

NATIONAL LOSS THROUGH RUN.
America spends as much fer
alcoholic liquors in one year as
it would cost to put FIVE lines uf
railroad from Maine TO Califcr-
MIA wifi. all their equipments;
Is n,ach as it would take in adj
dition to that to endow a univer-
sity with ten millions of dollars
to every State in the Union; as
much as it would take in addi-
ton to that to build a five thou
sand dollar school house for ey-
cry one hundred people in the
United States; and as much i'll
addition to that as it would take
to put cut at interest and pay
for one teacher for every one
hundred people of the forty-two
millions in the United States;
and we get for all that ire
mendous outlay-what? Fifty
per cent. of all the insanity
comes from strong drink; seven
ty-five per cent. of all criminals
become such while crazGd by al
cohol; eighty-five per cent. of all
the murders grow out of brawls,
and come from grogshops; and
ninety-six per cent. Of all the
worthless youths emerge from
drunken homes-nests Of crimi-
nals.-Miss Willard.
DIR. Willard Parker says st
has been demonstrated that the
use of alcohol when employed
moderately, as many young men
often use it, as they think with
IMMUNITY, makes the average of
life thirty-five and a half years
while that of non-users reached
an average of .sixty-four and
one-sixth years, a difference of
about twenty-nine years to each
individual"

similar Offences will enjoy com

effect, licences evi.-doing. We

A large eagle alighted on the globe
which suYmounts the flagstaff on the
Hose House last evening. Two pistol
shots were fired at him, but neither hit
hira nor frightened him, as he sailed
around after the explosion of the pistol
and returned again to the flagstaff,
where he remained until the halyards
running to the top of the flagstaff were
shaken, when he majestically scared
away. Eagles seem Ito have a strange
fancy for fagstaffs as resting places.
Some years ago one alighted on the
Court house flagstaff, from which place
Sam. King, who was then Sheriff,
brought him down with rifle ball.

A MAMMOTH GOLD LEAD.
The Largest Quartz Groupings Ever
Found I'm Nevada.

The good people of Dun Glen are ex-
cited. A gold bearing ledge, seventy
feet wide, has been discovered in the
mountain south Of the Lang Syne. The
widest rumors are ahoat concerning its
extent and richness. The following.
however, which has been furnished us
by a gentleman who has seen the ledge,
may be considered reliable: G.. Mem.
Ross, Stephen Thomas, Thomas Eva
and Thomas Hendra discovered the
ledge, which is seventy feet wide by
actual measurement. Some of the
quartz on the surface is rich in gold,
and the poorest of it assays from $40 to
$40 per ton in gold. The discoveries
have located 5000 feet of the ledge,
and our informant, who has had con-
siderable experience in mining, says he
has never in his life saw such a show
ing of quartz and so good prospect for
a fortune on the surface of the ground.
He considers it equal to Bodie, which
the camp resembles in many respects.
The discovery of gold bearing veins at
tracted the attention of miners to the
place in early days, but the camp was
subsequently abandoned. The success
of the Lang Syne mine, after many
failures to work it pro6tably, partially
revived interest in the mines, and now
a lead .las been discovered which so far
as surface Indications are concerned,
excels anything ever before found in
this county, if not in the State. 1t is
greatly to be hoped that the new dis
covery will prove to be bonanza with
millions in it.

4 yentrIIOquist's Joke.

A yentriloqnist who was passenger
on yesterdays passenger train, had con-
siderable fun with the train men on
every division of the railroad. Down
the road, while the train was stopped at
a station, the conductor heard the most
agonizing cries of human being in a
lumber pile. He fastened to the lurn-
Der and discovered that the cries issued
from a vacant building close by. He
called brakeman and broke III
the door, and was astonished to find it
vacant. Meanwhile cries OF Murder!
marderl help, helpl" were heard be-
hind the building, but when the be-
wihlered conductor and brakeman got
where they were positive somebody
was being murdered, there was no per-
sou to be seen in the vicinity. They
then thought of the showmen on the
train, and concluded that they were
the victims of cruel joke. The ven
triloquist is said to have repeated his
hoax on every division along the road.
