TO THE FARMERS.
LET NOT PREJUDICE ENTER
INTO YOUR HEARTS,
But Look to Your Interests. and
Investigate for Yourselves.

You now have before you two rail-
road propositions to be voted upon
Nov. 10th, each asking for 100000
which makes 100000 for the two
roads. At first it may seem to you
that the amount asked for is large
but when you consider that the saw
ings alone on wheat, tobacco and coal
for one year will amount to $4,000,
leaving out the estimate ON every
thing else bought and sold by you,
this amount would pay the entire
debt in less than five years, and have
the roads left, besides the advaDta-
ges derived therefrom. There is no
individual or collective scheming in
this matter, but it is merely a ques-
ton with you whether or not you
are willing TO aid yourselves, and
better your condition financially.
You know a good investment when
you see it, and the building of these
two new roads will be the best mon
ey you ever invested and pay You
larger returns. Have you any idea
how much it will cost you individu-
ally to pay the interest on this amount
of 100000? Only $3.50 on q thou
sand, mind you, not allowing for any
benefits in the way of reduced freight
rates on your products or looking at
the fact that the railroad property it.
self will pay the interest after five
years. These and many other facts
can be learned by you if you will
only take the trouble to investigate
for yourself and not let some preju
diced person turn you against the
propositions without submitting
them to test. You have never had
before you such an opportunity as
you now have to better your condl-
ton.
The wealthest farmers in the
county are for both propositions.
Ask yourself the question, that if ii
is a good thing for the largest farmer
is it not still better thing for the
small one, who is compelled to buy
what he consumes as low as passible,
and who needs all he can get for his
produce. Give the propositions
your thoughtful consideration, and
we are satisfied you will not only |
make up your mind TO vote for them |
bvt 90 TO work and show your neigh |
Dor that you are right.
Did you ever stop 10 think what
the West and Northwest would be
without their railroads, or that the
country would have been undeyel
oped to day had these avenues OF
commerce not been built? Why then
should you stand still and see other
sections move far ahead of your own ?
Railroads are not built without the CO.
operation and assistance of the peo-
pie. In by-gone days you have lei
golden opportunities pass by, but you
should not let this one slip, thinking
that railroads will come anyway. The
negligence of the people of CriIten-
den county is what turned the o. v.
toward Hopkinsvilc, and we want
Christian county to be able in after
years to thank her for her action.
Remember the date of election, Sat
urday, Nov. 10th.

The Southern Journal,
The supposed" State Or
gan Of the Prohibit
ton Party
Makes An Unjust, Unwarrantsd
and Malicious Attack Upon
Hopkinsville and Seine
Of Her Best Citizans.

Saturday, all during the day on
the various street corners, and in the
business houses, our citizens were
discussing the slanderous article pub
lished in the Southern Journal of
Oct. q, Uile pretentious hanger-on
of the prohibition party, which is
published in Louisville. We do not
deem it necessary even to copy any
part of the article and further drag
the names of some of our best citi-
zens into unjust notoriety, but we
simply intend to take up this "sup-
posed" earnest advocate of the prohi-
bition cause and show the people of
Hopkinsville the kind of viper, whose
life they arc sustaining. He is only
too glad to sting them, without cause
or provocation. The entire commun-
lty is highly indignant over the arti-
Gle and if j. w. Sawyer, the editor of
the slanderous sheet, or "Peter Par
ley" the gentleman who is no doubt
proud of having furnished the facts
from this city for comment, will
make themselves known in the city,
they will be heard crying for mercy.
This j. w. Sawyer, who is being
patronized and encouraged by the
prohibition advocates in Christian
county, has forced himself on the
party, and sent his paper into decent
homes, pretending to be great moral
reformer, when at heart he has none
but personal motive. AT glance
one can see that his miserably print
ed sheet is only published from a
selfish standpoint, Haunting and ad-
vertisement of his grocery business,
clothed in such filthy Language as
this:
"The makers and sellers of whisky |
are thieves, their graduates are liars,
buns and bawds. am for Reform
that means Reform and sell groceries
