TEMPERANCE IN SOLOMON TOWNSHIP
SOLOMON TOWNSHIP,

SOLOMON TOWNSHIP, /
SALINE COUNTY. !
On Tuesday evening. September 9TH,
the temperance people of our town
called q meeting for the purpose Of or
ganizing q prohibition club. The
evening passed pleasantly, the club
starting with thirty-three members,
but by far the most interesting part of
the entertainment was an address by
Mr.. VIM. c. Verge, which We were
instructed, by vote of the club. to
send to the JOURNAL for publication.
We gladly do 80, hoping that it will
add many flowers TO the wreath Of
glory which he won for himself that
night. We regard Mr.. Verge a. one
of the most promising young men in
our county.
The following is the address, re-
spectfully submitted by the Poheta
Prohibition Club.
c. THOMAS, Secretary,
Ladies and Gentiepsen:
Ii il said that General Jim Lane, of
early Kansas memory, was a colonel
Of Indiana volunteers during the Mex
lean war Orders were sent him 10
advance upon q strongly entrenched
position Of the enemy. As the men
moved forward, the bullets began to
whistle aud sing in . very uncomfort-
able way. Lane, looking down the
line, saw the men lodging . great
deal; whereupon, he said: Indiana
no lodging the bullets" A
few minutes Afterwards, however. one
came 80 close to Lane that he involun-
tarily jumped aside. Seeing some Of
the men laughing, he said: Indiana
dodge the big ones" II
there are any persons present tonight
whose sympAfhies and interests are
not with US, and for Us, to such
would say, should you think any Of
my statements big or Overdrawp,
dodge the ''big Ones" IL you can.
Kansas, crAdled in fire and blood
and border rufIianism. Is fast growing
10 . full maturity. What that matur-
ity shall be rests with you. Alike in
The hands OF the young men Of the
State and their gray haired sires, does
you future destiny lie. The eyes Of
he nation are ceufered upon you The
ballot, Whose arbitrsmept Is 30 much |
more tranquil than the sword, 10 In |
FOUR hands; and the question which
men all over the Union
We aaking you h. Will you raise your
state above the common level; Or will |

move sin and temptation from the |
Atheu Of your children: viii you

Iladden the desolate home: Will you

Cotton.

The market exhibited more animl1
ton this forenoon than has been indi-
Gated for several months. A big
crowd of staple operators gathered in
the exchange, scanning the dispatches
as they arrived with an earnest eye.
Nc such scene has been presented in
Secretary Gates headquarters since
last winter. The upward turn taken
in the value of cotton is of course the
cause Of this activity. The demand
for clean cotton is active, and far in
excess of the supply. Buyers are com.
PEELED to watch their chances and
pick out a few bales as they come in
here and there. There is little or o
demand for the flag ends of which the
bulk of our present stock is made up.

General Trade.

We are enjoying O fine trade in
agricultural implements, including
wagons and cotton gathering articles,
such as gins, baskets and the like; also
cider presses, plows and pillow points,
and many similar species Of farm fur
niture. A heavy jobbing trade is also
going on in bagging, ties, and provis-
ions. Breadstuffs are dull and in
light movement, while feed is almost
wholly confined at present to a city
consumption demand. Meats are in
an excited condition and are going up
so fast that many dealers do not know
what prices to set upon it. The cause
of the advance, it is said, is lighter
stocks in northwestern markets, in

Few people suffer so much nervous
exhaustion as newspaper editors. The
wear and tear of getting out a good
paper tell f%earfully, and readers sell
dom know how much vital force a
single item may have cost the one who
wrote it. Editors have often been
driven to drink in order to stimulate
their exhausted faculties, but of late
are using Warmers Safe Nervine in

as a soothing power, quoting thC
