April 18th, lSSJ.
Mr.. n. T. Hobbs Editor Brookbsvep Lradrr:

April 18th, lSSJ.
Mr.. n. T. Hobbs Editor Br"okhtvep Iradrr:
! My DEAR SIR AS citizen If L.ucoir
county aud tie State ot Mississippi, lie
sire to hcsipw upon you my sincere and
emphatic thanks for the brave warfare
I You have been making against Tie
whisky traffic Of BroOkhaven, Lincoln
county and the State. have no doubt
/ that every good man and good woman in
1 Lincoln county thanks and hOnois YOU.
| The LEADER has lead on nohly IN a
| righteous cause. You may truthiully
say, ~ Paul said, al have fought good
ight;" but you have not yet finished your
course.
Permit me to state in this place, that
cannot understand why respectable mcr-
chants of Brookhaven, who ought TO feel
an interest in the prosperity and peace of
Lincoln county, lend their names and
their influence to help foster upon your
town the "whisky plague" II our far
mcrs and people prosper, docs not this
bring prosperity to the merchants If
we have industry, peace law aLd order,
do not the merchants profit by these
blessingsi Wien farmers spend their
money for whisky, can they spend the
same money in purchasing provisions and
dry goods for their families Wonld not
the money that now goes to the whisky
shops of your town go to the merchants,
and to pay debts, if the whisky shops
were closcdi Would not farmers and
laborers make more money, stay at honie
more, be more industrious, and more
frugal, were there no whisky shops to
draw them to your town.
What is the testimony IF merchants
and other good citizens who're the whisky
shops have been suppressed, rs the good
people of BrOqkhaven are now trying to
suppress them' They publish emphatic
statements that the interests of trade and
morals and peace have been promoted.
You have published list Of the names OF
citizens of your town who desire to
pc:petuate the whisky curse in yOur
midst am informed by leading citi-
zen, an old citizen who knows all the
people of your town and county better
perhaps than any other man, that, with
the exception of small percentage of the
names of respectable and educated men,
the list you published is one Of the
blacklist rolls of ignorance and vice ever
published in n Brookhaven newspaper.
Why respectable and educated gentlemen
wish to unite with such men to aid i'll
defeating the wishes of the best men and
all of the good women of Brookhav,n, |
am at loss to comprehend.
When your Prohibition petition is
complete, trust you Will publish
both lists i'll the same number of your
paper, that our people may know VIII"
favor and who oppose this great and
salutary reform which you so strongly
favor. 1t would perhaps he well to drop
from the whisky list the names of all
who have repented and have signed the
Prohibition list for the law only allows
such to be counted on the latter list.
