Grenada, Miss,
Dedr ,Su:-Your letter asking inform
alton as to the practical working OF pro-
hbition in Pauola county has been duly
received.
In reply we would say that the bene,
fits of prohibition can no longer be ques-
toned or denied here, and the stale cry
that "prohbition docs not prohibit" has
bean utterly refutcd. At the passage of
our prohibitory law two year ago sys.
tematic effort was made by number
engaged in the liquor traffic to defy or
.evade the law, and bring into contempt
by continually violating it. These per-
sons dis covered too late their mistake.
A vigorous prosecutor, a fearless judge
and honest juries have completely bro
ken up these violations of law, and to
day prohibition is prohibiting not only
in name but in fact. Some of the otfen'
ders have cleft their country for their
country's good" while others have gone
into other pursuits and haye ceased to
oppose the law by act or influence.
The benefits derived from the law are
many, and are apparent to even a casual
observer -
l. There is marked decrease in all
crimes and ofenses against law usually
traceable, directly or indirectly,to strong
drink. The Records of our courts, State
and municipal, show this to be true,
2. There is great decrease in drunk>
enness and in the milder forms of intem-
perance 1t is extremely rare to see per,
son under the influence of liquor.
g. The money which once flowed
through the saloons, as conduits, into the
pockets of nonresident liquor dealers, is
now spent at home for the necessaries or
comforts Of life. The fear once entertain,
ed by some that prohibition would injure
our business interests, has proven wholly
groundless The volume of business has
in no instance decreased from this cause
but there is more cash and less credit.
4. There is decided change for the
better in the industrial habits of our
people, Loafng and idleness are decrea-
sing, and public places no longer swarm
with the thrlftless and discontented.
We might enumerate other benefits if
time and space sufliced. One thing is
certain, any community which once gives
prohibition fair trial for two years or
twelve months, will resist any PROPOSE
ton to license TIE liquor traffic again.
So far as we can learn all opposition to
the law, or almost all has passed away,
and the temperance sentiment is still on
the increase. AS an evidence of this TACT
in 2nd District of this county, which
has no prohibitory law. every petition
for license to sell liquors has been de-
feated, and the last saloon will close this
or next week. We can learn of no effort
on the part of liquor dealers to submit
question to popular vote We are in
formed that there will be none, but we
do not fear such an issue, if it comes.
What we have here stated is not hear>
say or rumor, but what we have seen and
do know. The facts will be attested, IT
disputed, by any number of our best cit
izens in this community and throughout

TheiKosciusIso Star Oh Rembercer.

The following articles we clip from
the Kosciusko Star, whose editor Mr.. J.
Ii. Anderson, was present when the match
game of base ball was played here between
'the Athletics and Water Valley Blues
and we suppose had no interest whatever
in either club,
One of the most interesting games of
base ball ever played in this State wss
witnessed between the Blues OF Water
Valley and the Athletics Of Grenada, at
the latter place last Tuesday. Ifit had
not been for glaring errors by the umpire
the game would have been well nigh
faultless. The umpire was from Water
Valley and named Limburger, and his
decisions We're so ''rank' that they did
indeed smell to heaven. He did not seem
to have the least idea Of the rules of the
game, and accidentally every place where
he put his ignorance where it would do
the most, it operated against Grenada.
In the Sth Farris made 1st on muff by
lol ooeeuibb, -N ltldll hlOChCu ~ odSSClJ
Sd struck out. Townsend hit safe, Martz
hit single. Pinder out on fly, Hickey
struck out. Water Valley made 4 scores
on errors by the umpire.
The umpire decided that man must
touch the base runner on forced run in
oIder to make put out.
A more gentlamanly set of ball tossers
can not be found.than those composing
the Grenada nine;
That umpire should be informed of the
fact that Mr.. Spaulding has published a
little book of rules on the game.
The kicking against the umpire which
had been constantly growing more pro-
nounced eliminated in a positive refusal
to play longer.
Grenada out played the Water Valley
nine at every point, but the 'umpire's
ignorance of the game more than counter.
balanced their superior skill in playing

Grenada, Miss,
Dear SIR Your letter OF the LIST inst,
asking me for statement "as to the good
effects of the prohibition of the sale of
liquors in this county," is just received
was out of town on Monday when my.
neighbors sept'their statement or l would
have signed with them, as I understand
your letter YOU want facts, not arguments,
and | shall state as briefly as possible
some of my observations. Prohibition
began to be enforced in Tate county
Aug. lst 1884. During the first six
months there was some illicit sale in def
ance of law, but rigorous administra-
ton Of the law through the Circuit court
soon drove all the "tigers" from their
lairs. For twelve months past "prohi-
bition has prohibited" more effectually
perhaps, than has any other penal statute
prevented the crime at whichit is aimed.
Instead OF disorders we have had peace;
for violence we have procured amity; our
nights are no more disturbed random,
pistol shots and boisterous shouts; every
mother knows where her son is, for there
is no more loafng place for him in tbe
town; there are but very few young men
who have not within the last twelve
months. united themselves to some one
Of the churches; there has been organized
a Young Mems Christian Association
with some eighty members.-and the
sight of drunken man or boy, formerly
50 common has almost passed from our
view, at least have not seen more than
one in year in this town. Many merN
chants have told me that their businesses
have improved, notably in the amount OF
goods sold for cash, l do not think go
beyond moderate statement of existing
facts when say that every line Of busi-
ness in the town has improved except

Dear Sir:-Como has had prohibition
twenty three months and the door of our
calaboose has not been open or shut on a
prisoner all this time and was never with
outs prisoner any month previous to
this. No stock is rode into town after
night with corn to exchange, no loungers
seen on the street after night, no quar-
rels on the street and no boisterous talks
ing, no drunkards hang around and lol-
ter and waste time to procure a dram
and white and colorcd are satisfied with
prohibition and now fully believe that
prohibition does prohibit, all lie who de>
ME this. There can be NO BLIND TIGERS
WITHOUT A CORRUPT JUDGE AND PERJUR-
ED JURY. Stick Il pin right here.
Prohibition rid us OF some sorry color
ed and few NANCY, scurvy whites and
will bring you the same riddance. The
sentiment grows stronger with us,no sick
ever suffer for stimulants, the doctors
grant and supply this demand, and all
doctors of any worth are bound to oppose
whisky; they see and know more of the
horrible effects of this curse than any
other member Of society and q physician
in the South, must indeed be q dog who
favors whisky. Since the war it has
done more than all other agencies to pau
