WEST POINT, VA, March Is, SO.
Editor of the Dispatch Noticing
the card Of our whiskey friends in the
Dispatch of the 18th, we reply that,
with charity for all and malice to-
ward none," we are ready for the fray.
We propose to fight on moral and rcli-
gious grounds with an eye single to the
glory of God and the good Of our fell
low men and their suffering wives and
children through the demon of intern
perance. We mean, by thu help Of
God. to close up the twelve dens
of iniquity which stare US in the face at
every street. corner and open the door
of temptation to weak-minded brothers,
and husbands. and fathers, and, worse
than all, to our children who have never
vet tasted the intoxicating cup.
The first sight that greets the eye Of
a visitor to our pretty little town is a
saloon. We can't get q decent visitor
from the railroad depot or the steam
er's wharf up into town without his
running the gauntlet Of liquor-saloons;
and we propose, if we can, to remove
this evil and reproach from our midst,
and make the town Of West Point what
nature evidently intended it should be,
the most beautiful and attractive Tide
water town in Old Virginia.
We are fully organized for the battle,
and we have left the word "fail" off
our banner.
"Come over (friends) into Macedonia
and help u.s."
Yours respectfully,
Rev. j. II. NEWELL,
Baptist;
Rev. G. H. McGHEE,
Methodist;
Rev. p. BROOKE,
Episcopal;
LEWIS L. SMITH,
President Sunday.School Union.
