An Appeal by the Morgantow n

The members Of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union earn
estly ask the cooperation of all the
citizens of our town and county in
making our Centennial day a tenn
perance occasion. While we point
with just pride to the educational,
moral and religious record of the
past, may we have no reason to
blush for the present, or to dread
that the hearts of mothers, wives
and sisters may be agonized by
seeing our young men, the hope of
the land, yielding to temptation as
offered by intoxicating liquors.
We ask especially the assistance
of friends in the country, the mem
bers of Centennial committees, and
all, who are interested in making
the day an enjoyable commemora-
tive holiday and pleasant memo
ry, "For Goo, for Home, tor Native
Land. "-Neao DontwIsom.

ism, but the old lady is rig hit chlrpy
when she is in mind to be.
Remember it is on Thursday, the
10Th of October, rain or shine, rail-

ance will come off according to the

what is on the bills. The whole
world is invited, together with the
