THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.
Letter from Col. Nugent.

Yazoo Sentinel.
JACKSON, Miss, April q, 1881.
DEAR SIR-Your favor of the 25th re-
ceived and noted. We meet here on Friday
evening to consult together aud prepare a
call for a State Convention representing
those who favor prohibition" as a State
policy, for the purpose of organization and
bringing to bear the means necessary to in
duce the Legislature to submit constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting the liquor
traffic. | do not believe in prohibition
party, so to speak, nor IN any movement
that will tend to break the completeness of
the Democratic party; but | do want to
have an opportunity OF voting for an amend
ment to our Constitution which shall for
ever put a stop to a legalized liquor traffic.
Ny idea is to see who will 20 into the move
ment actively, and to have county and
township meetings, and petitions signed by
every man, woman and child in the State
who favors the movement, and sent up to
the Governor to be presented to the Legis-
lature.
This is a matter Of State policy on which
intelligent men may differ and / desire it To
be discussed as such and settled definitely.
But we must have chance to vote on the
question, and TO do that must have a CON
stitutional amendment submitted for our
approval or disapproyal. Some persons tell
me "The saloon people will wear Us out"
My reply Is, we are willing to do battle
with them, and if they now control the
State We had better find it out at once and
prepare to $50 TO Kansas"
Yours truly,
w T. NUGENT.

WE had the pleasure, on Tuesday last, of
participating in pleasant picnic at Flags
Chapel, five miles west of Jackson. Arriv-
ing there at a late hour in the morning, we
found the little chapel fall of the neighbor-
hood folks, witnessing the closing exhibition
of Mrs. Q. 2. Wrights school. Gov. Stone,
Rev. Dr. Hunter, II. VI. Taylor, and others
from town were present. The children all
acquitted themselves well, and were justly
complimented by DR.. Hunter in a well
timed and very earnest address. A sumptu
Gus dinner followed, and the afternoon was
being spent in pleasant conversation, when
threatening clouds admonished all to retreat
for home. Messrs. b. T. Lyon, II. O.
Dixon, Wrights, Englands and Patricks
are among the substantial citizens of this
excellent neighborhood.
