Nasty in despair"

Among the political writer's of
the war era who made national
regulations by their treatment of
the negro question, and kindred
topics, was the well-known "Petro-
leum V. Nasty" Returning recent
ly from a prolonged sojourn in
Europe, he has resumed his quaint
letters from the Corners" where
the liquor question has now be-
come the absorbing topic. The
women of the place have been cru
sading against Bascom's grog-shop,
Nasby's headquarters, and he is
welI-nigh in despair" He wishes
he "cood retire on competence"
and adds: II wud that some life
insurance agent wuld calkilate the
chances NV life in me, and some
distiler wud give enuf barls to last
that time out, and let me lay down
to it in pece. Life is becomin' too
egcitin' tor man Nv my years.
That Nasty now takes up the
liquor question in his peculiar
way is another significant indica-
ton of the growth Of temperance
public opinion. Nat. Temperance

Highland Prohibition Society

1t is very evident that our friends
in the vicinity of Highland,
/ Richie county, have a live organi-
cation.
We have already published pro-
ceedings of the earlier meetings.
From a general report of the
society's work from it's beginning,
sent in to the State Executive
Committee, we extract the follow
ing:
At recent meeting we had an
excellent address by Rev. D. M.
Sleethe, of Cairo.
He showed the Importance of
first understanding what is meant
BY prohibition, and then consider
ed the right of a community to
organize a movement against any
business that was hurtful to socie-
ty.
Because the saloon keepers ar
nyed themselves against the health
and lives of the people of a com
munity; because they disturbed its
peace and good order and debauched
its morals; therefore, it was but
just and right that the community
should free itself from such an OBJ
poxious and destructive pest.
His address was well received.
While he denounced in the sever
est manner the wrong of selling
liquors as a beverage, and stated
plainly the responsibility Of the
temperance people, yet the spirit
Of his remarks was such as disarm-
ed opposition.
The society has been a good sue
cess, so far.
1t was feared by some that tenn.
perance organization with regular
meetings could not maintain an
interest, and we expect still greater
success when we prove that the
meetings can be made interesting
Even now there is much interest
manifested, not only in the imme
date vicinity but in surrounding
nelghborhoods.
We shall be glad to report to the
State Committee anything that
may be of general interest at any
time. Respectfully,
T. e. Mckinney, Sec'y.

Very careful experiments made
in New York last season show that
the fiat culture of potatoes pro-
duces the finest tubers and the
largest yields. The best results
followed the Dutch method of plant
ing, which consists in keeping the
surface of the ground level, plant
ing single eye in place, cover
ing it six inches deep and allow
ing but single stalk to grow in a
hill, which are a foot apart each

The Devils Four Servants.

The devil has great many SER
wants, and they are all busy and &C.
tive ones. They ride in the rail
way trains, they sail on the steam
boats, they swarm along the high
ways of the country and the thor
oughfares of the cities, they do
business in the busy marts; they
are everywhere and in all places.
Some are SO yile-looking that one
lnstlnctively turns from them in
disgust; but some are so sociable
and plausible that they almost de-
celve at times the very elect.
Among this latter class are to be
found the devils four chief serv-
ants. Here are their names:
"There is no danger" That is
one.
"Only this once" That is an
other.
Everybody does So" That is the
third.
"By and by" That is the
fourth.
When tempted from the path
Of strict rectitude, and There's no
danger" urges you on, say, "Get
thee behind me, Satan !"
When tempted to give the Sab
bath up to pleasure, or to do a lit
tie labor in the workshop or count
ing-room, and "Only this once" or
Everybody does So" whispers at
your elbow, do not listen for a mo-
ment to the dangerous counsel.
All four are cheats and liars.
They mean to deceive you and
cheat you out of heaven. "Behold,"
says God, "now is the accepted time,
now is the day of salvation" He
has no promise tor "By-and-by."
