First Entertainment OF The w. C..
T II


The entertainment given by tho wo
mans Christian Temperance Union a
Heucks Hall last Friday evening was
! pronounced success in every respect
The Hall had been beautifully decorated
BY the tasteful hands of members of tn,
Union, and this Of itself was feast Il
! the eyes of the multitude-there beinl
scarcely standing-room for the large au
dience present. At the appointed houl
the Union marched into the Hall in pro
cessiOn headed by their beautiful new
banner of Inre white satin, which wa,
borne by Misses Corrie johnson, Ada and
Susie Powell. An opening song by tn,
entire Union followed, with an accom-.
paniRent by Mrs. Crutcher on the organ
The roll of over sixty members embrac.
ing majority Of the leading ladies OF
town was then called, and Rev. j. r.
Parish led in an earnest, appropriate
prayer, The welcome address by Miss
Lutte Gadberry, which next followed, was
"a gem of purcst ray serene" 1t was
lofty and ennobliug in sentiment, bean.
tlful in diction, and its delivery fauitless
and truly eloquent To be called upon to
represent the Union in its first public adj
dress, was great honor of which any
one might feel prOnd, and most noblv
did this fair young lady acquit herself
of the duty assigned her. Miss Sallie
Strickland, in her first attempt at recita-
tion, gave evidence of what she NAV at
tain in the future. vocal duet was
sweetly rendered by Misses Corrie John
son and Lizzie Britain. A recitation
by Miss Ruth Crutcher was beyond crit
icism. Another song Fl lIowed by mem
bers of the Union, and DIR. II. +. John
son, who was to deliver the address of the
evening, was introduced. This address
was characteristic of the distinguished
speaker. and was one of the clearest and
most conclusive in favor of Prohibition
we have ever heard. The w. G.. I. l..
will no doubt always hold in grateful re-
membEance the gentleman who represent.
ell their cause at their initial entertain.
ment. more fortunate selection they
could not have made. The music fur
nished during the evening by that accom-
plished musician, Mrs. Crntcher, was full
ly in keeping with that lady's reputation
as such.
In conclusion, we congratulate the
Union on the success of their first effort,
and indulge the hope that they may IA
vor the public with many more such. A
most delightful evening was thus spent,
and even those not in sympathy with the
Unions work, pronounced this most
pleasant and refined entertainment.

Editer Brookhaven Leader
attended the meeting of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union at II,nck's
Hall, Brookhayen, last Friday evening,
and was surprised to find that large Hail
with its ample seats, crowded with peo-
pie. And they were the best people that
| the town ever furnishes for her best oc-
casions Moreover, they took an intense
interest in the exercises Of the evening
and in the cause which the ladies are ~
admirably supporting. The recitati"ns
by the young ladies, the we'll selected
songs, assisted by the organ, were re-
| ceived with pleasure by the attentive
| audience. The merits of the ladies who
entertained them so well were enthusiast
tically acknowledged.
The ladies of Brookhaven have done
good work in the cause of temperance,
humanity and religion and they still CON
tinue to work nobly and fearlessly. The
redemption of our town from the reign of
corruption or the whisky bottle should
he largely credited to our unterrified
christian ladies and their admiring
friends.
DIR. johnson, President of the Whit
worth Female College. gave logical
and very impressive address, showing the
power of woman's influence and the i'm
portance of wOmans cooperation III the
great Prohibition reform that is sweeping
over BrOOkhaven, and Lincoln county,
and the State, and now agitating the
whole nation. 1t is worthy of remark
that the warfare against the whisky
traffic of BroOkhaven, which has enlisted
the strongest feelings on both sides, has
been uniformly conducted by our public
speakers, the press, the pulpit, and the
ladies on the side of Prohibition, with
the utmost fairness, ia the spirit of strict
justice, and even politely. No language
written or oral, to the writer's knowledge,
used by Prohibitionists that would he
discreditable to gentlemen and ladies
anywhere The hands of our Prohibi-
tionists are perfectly clean. Even the
saloon keepers cannot reasonably COM
plain. Their banners are aloft, proudly
waving in IA pnre God-given breeze-they
have never in IA single instance fallen to
the gutters-have never in single in
stance been polluted or disgraced. The
PrOhbitiOntsts of BroOkhaven have never
had occasion to blush or be ashamed OF
those who have clIaInpiOned their cause.
Though slandered and rcviled, they
revile not again. Though Knocked and
even christian ladies ridiculed with negro
doggcrcl in the saloon organ, they re-
member that "a soft answer turneth
away wrath but gricvous words stir up
anger" The snake charmcr never casti
gates his dangerous reptile.

Dan'l D. Answered.
l)AN'I d.

Editor BrOOkhavcn Leader;
Dan'l ID. is puzzled to know why the
merchants of Brookhaven should sign
whisky petitions when the 5000 that
each saloon in BrookhaVen will take in
which is worse than wasted (and it would
I've much better if they would put the
money in the fire., would he distributed
among the merchants, doctors, school
teachers, etc. Well, there are two rea-
sons:
First, when man gets about half
drunk he feels rich, and will buy things
he does not need and he is not particr lar
about the price, the merchant asks for his
goods.
Second, the saloon men scare them into
signing their petitions. You ask how
Well Mr.. A. has customer that sends to
him for gallon of whisky and he sends
to MIR. BIS saloon for it. Mr.. Il. allows
the merchant a margin Oh it whether he
asks it or not. If the merchant wants
to take a stand with the best people for
the home, the school, his children and
christianity, the saloon man goes quietly
to him and threatens him with the reve-
nue. officer for the violation of the reve-
me law in accepting a margin, and in
nre times out of ten they scare them
into using the excuse that they are afraid
it will injure bnsiness-yOu know no SEN
sible man believes any such nonsense.
And the drink cnrse has been kept like II
leech sucking the life blood out OF the
community, burdening them with high
taxes etc, i'll this way.

Before the present Prohibition agita-
tion, The LEADER was not aware that it
had so many warm and faithful friends,
and to one and all who have given as
surances of their endorsement and sup
port, it returns sincerest thanks. We
would say to all of our friends that the
best way to help The LEADER, and at the
same time advance the interests of the
great cause for which it is battling, is to
assist us in getting new subscribers. The
paper will be sent to all new cash sub
scribers from this date to January LIST, '86,
for 81. See your neighbor who doesn't
take it and ask him to subscribe.

Ellisville is one of the most prosperous
towns on the N. o. & n. +. X. X. There
has been about 5000 bales of cotton ship
ped from this point during the fall and
winter season; between fifty and sixty
thousand pounds of wool was shipped
last year, and we look for about the same
this year; four or five saw mills are in
successful operation, and the merchants
have all been doing fair business.
Churches, school houses and residences
have been built, and others are in process
of cOnstruction-and still we have no sa-
loon i'll town. The idea that whisky
makes the town has been thoroughly ex-
ploded so far as Ellisville is concerned.
The no saloon idea is good one, and all
the people want is to be educated on this
point, and nothing but good results will
follOw.-EHisuille Eagle.

The whisky men who are going around
shedding crocodile tears as large as Usage
oranges because THE LEADER has injur-
ed ~ the cause of Prohibition, are like
the Kansas saloon keeper spoken of by
DIR. johnson, who was so bitterly grieved
because Prohibition would keep the Kan
sas Christians from having a place to
buy wine to celebrate the Lords supper.
1t is simply overw helming-this deep
concern of the whisky men lest some
advocate of Prohibition do something to
give the cause setback.

Three Gases Revealing Curious
Phases of Human Nature.
At the special term of the district court
Saturday, Nov. IA, William Kausal obtained
a divorce from Christina Kausal upon the
ground Of adultery, the defendant not ap-
pearing. Mrs. Kausal now comes forward
aud asks to have the decree set aside, alleg-
ing that the summons and complaint were
not served upon her, and she was kept in
ignorance of the suit. She denies that she
has been guilty of conduct unbecoming a
wife, and asks for separation and ali
mony.
At the present term of court Ann Murphy
was tried upon an Indictment which charged
her with having stolen S12o in gold from
Smith O'Brien. Mrs. Murphy was acquit-
ted after a lengthy trial, during which it
was made to appear that a criminal init
macy had existed between her and O'Brien.
John Murphy, the husband, now brings suit
against O'Brien for alternating his wife's af-
fections, placing his damages at S., 600.
The famous Wagner divorce suit bobbed
up serenely in Judge Young's court yester-
day. 1t will be remembered that Amelia
Wagner sued Frank Wagner for divorce,
which was denied, although an order was
made granting her certain amount for at
torney's fees. The defendant appealed
from tbs order and brought an action against
the wife for divorce, which was likewise
denied. Now Mrs. Wagner asks for a
separation and alimsny. The case was
argued and is to be submitted on briefs.

BELL BEATEN AT LAST.
The 5000 people who went to Washing
ton rink last night saw their favorite biey-
clist beaten by the raised ends, in his con-
test with W. NJ. Woedside. The latter,
twice beaten by Bell, insisted on raising the
ends OF the rink. so as to permit of making
the turns without retarding the pace. Bell
consented with his usual good humor and
lost the race. His wheel is not adapted to
the raised ends and at every turn he lost
time. Weodsiae went to the front and held
it, beating Bell full lap and making the
miles as follows: First, 3:57; I'd, 6:07: Sd,
9:17; 4th. 1890; 9Th, 1920. On Friday
evening the TIVE 'cyclers will ride fifty miles.
