Webster says facts "are things done; re-

Mn. EDI7oR: AZ como OF your nm
|merous readers wanted few facts pub
|lished ia your columns concerning thu
work Of the temperance lecturer, Mrs. a.
4 Scott, Of Indianapolis, during her sta,
In this and adjoining counties, Iwould
|say as I have prom ised facts, that the re-
ports which have been circulated tha,
ishe has been sent ont BY the Dsmocratis
party and IL working III their interest. il
|nttUly false. She asnot sent nor pa;C
|by any party. She felt IL tob be her duty
and took the risk to work for the good
|of humanity. But now we will give .
correct account 0f her work, treatment
and pay while here. She began hel
work the fourth Sabbath in July cay By
giving lecture ct the 1Iillsbor0ngf
Church IN the evening 10 . large and 81.
|tentive congregation, and ct night 10 q
ANAL but attentive 0ne-; for which she
received S. IS for the two, at which tims
two young men came forward end re.
PortcrsviIIc. Accordingly, she left ap.
pointments for those places, which I will
spesk Of aftor'thie, and also Il was eu9-
gested that che lecture ,at Lennon
church and ireland. but as the feelings
were 20 tender q ireland IN regard 10
tho use Of that Church, Il was thought
best 70 consult the Tru6teee aud some or
the members drst, which was done and
their c0nsent granted. But 4 Was not
thought necessary 10 coneult shout those
other Churches, from the fast <hst they
were built for religious meetings, and
those meetings could not faithfully be
called anything else. Then, sho had q
call.to go.into Pike county, and some 0i
the goodladies OF sOtWcn wanted her Go
give them talk, but Il was thought best
10 call on the minister .of thot place,
which was done and bic consent gained,
for her to use the Church q 4het place
and also ct ireland. Now let us follow
her IN her work awhile. She went from
II Hillaborough 70 'Delcctable Hill, where
she was kindly received aud treated dur
ing her stay Of Two nighte-M Monday and
Tuesday. Tho good people Of that place
entertained her and PAID her hack fare /;
then raised IS 20. Wednesday she went
to Petersburg, but We ere sorry to say
that the ladies' OF that town sent her 20
the hotel and then failed 20 foot che bill.
and q the men Of the place had learned
that the rrohibi:ioniets had brought out
. ticket they became alarmed. and q both
parties feltthatthoy were guilty Of some-
thing wrong, they became alargnsd for
fear that their party would b defeated.
but finally tho Democrats OF the place
imagined that \ was their party this
great woman he'd oone 80 destroy, and
Ihus the trouble began. They gave her
! good audience, but their money ap-
pesred 20 bo scarce. OF they wore saving
4 for future use, and they made her the
'um total or $i.o0, aud a. her hotel bill
vas "a 80, and her hack hire scveuty-fIvo
'cnts. Il think probably more) you can
'asily count che profits. Then she rc-
urncd on Thursdsy 20 Orwell. By Allie'
limo the Republicans imagined that they
we're thc guilty ones, and that Il wae
heir party she WAS going 20 Kin. So
hey concluded that they would not hear
ler unlces they could by avcs-dropping I
ind .of coursc that class Rlways hear mol
rood Of themselves. but che gave theml
Iwo lectures and childrene mectinc i
md their collection for her Was five
,onts. q shame on the placel Could|
speak II louder or Z place II
A republican boasted that ehe vas work X
Ing FOR the Democrats and that they spent
heir money II the saloons, but the rcpub-I
leans had the money. lwould say perhapsl
they have, but from present indications
