The reason that Christian men and
women, seemingly earnest, are so indif-
ferent to the great question of Prohibi-
ton, is because they are at ease: whisky
has not touched one near and dear to
them The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union was started by wives, mothers,
sisters, driven almost to desperation from
standing idly, helplessly by, and seeing
the husbands, sons and brothers torn
from their sides by this relentless fend;
they have been Joined by thousands and
thousands more, who have bleeding, sym
pathizing hearts. Oh! when whisky en-
ters the home it arouses people, 1t opens
the Indifferent eyes; it makes men and
women ready to fight this eiant curse to
the bitter end. God grant that you may
neverssave this awakening, father, mother
but think of these things; think OF the
blighted homes, compare them with your
own, and do not blame US who do appre.
ciate the terror of the curse. Before the
bar of God you will have to make the
same excuse as was made of old, Am
my brothers keeper?'

How Much Is Your Boy Worth:

A tall Kansan said: Put me down for
$50; have six boys, and if necessary
will make nv subscription more; to save
them, a 500 bill would be a small
amount. BE was hard working farmer
but he loved his boys, and as conse-
quence hated the liquor Traffic.
A New York merchant SAID: ITO my
aston1shment found out that my eldest
boy had taken a drink of beer That
was enough; every energy of that busi-
ness man is brought into active service to
protect his son from the ravages of the
liquor trade.
How much is your boy worth?
First: He is worth asking to sign the
total abstinence pledge.
Second He is of sufficient value to be
sent to Band of Hope, or Temperance
School, to be instructed as to the effects
of alcohol upon the human system, and
the sin of intemperance.
Third. He is of sufficient importance
for you to know where he spends his
evenings and who his associates are,
Fourth. He is of more value than
many household pets, and is emitted to
more of your time and attention.
Fifth. To say nothing of the value of
your boys good character, he has cost you
| for food, raiment, and education more
than what the average saloon keeper pays
for his license.
Sixth. LAS the twig is bent the tree is
inclined"' It will be of great Importance
to you whether your boy is valuable
citizen or curse to you and the neigh
borhood in which you reside. If he turns
out good he will be worth his weight in
gold; if otherwise, better he had never
been born.
Seventh. Beng immortal, he is worth
a life's work to prepare him for happy
hereafter.
No license was ever made high enough
to cover the lowest estimate that you can
put on your boy if there's a spark OF
Christianity or humanity in your heart
Nebraska virtually says It's city boys
are worth $1,000; altogether too low
New York City puts the price OF hel
boys at $75; less than the price of city
railroad horse. An insult to every mot ther
What Is your boy worth?
Tell me the value of his soul, and II
name the price of the privilege to sell in
toXlcants.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
To be Held in Austin Next Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday,,
Feb'y 40, al and "a.
No Postponement this Time and
These Dates can be De-
pended on.

After quite wait, we are able to IN
form our readers of the date of the Farm
er's Institute. The time of Supt. Gregg
has been so closely occupied, there being
such call for his presence at institutes
IN all parts of the state, that until this
week, it was impossible for him to fix
time when he could be here.
Accounts from all parts of the state
show that the institutes now being held
under the direction of Mr.. Gregg are
very interesting and drawing large
crowds wherever held The general
complaint has been that the place Of
meeting was not large enough to accom-
modate the crowd. This universal in
terest shows that the institute as conduct
ed. is an excellent thing and that the
farmers realize its utility and the neces-
sity of obtaining the information that it
offers
Many were very much disappointed at
the failure to hold meeting at the first
attempt, and feared that by losing that
chance our opportunity was gone. But
with greatly improved weather and long
er days, no one need stay away on ac-
count of fear of another failure. We say
to every one, turn out and help fill the
Court House next week.
A letter from Mr.. Gregg this morning
states that substantially the same pro-
gram as published before may be ex-
pected.
The following committees have been
sppolnted:

The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1888-10-16

Democrats of Leon county: The Dem
ocrats of Florida sympathize with you
in your fight this year they are looking
to you to redeem Old Leon and proudly
place her in the Democratic column
where she ought to be. If you win this
fght-which'' the Democrats of Florida
expect you to do, and which you can do
do, Democrats all over Florid will re-
joice with you. They will be sadly dis
appointed if you loose-but, how serious
ly sad will be your disappointment if you
fail in this fight, which is fight for your
homes and your families--a fight which
you cannot afford to lose.
But there must be no disappointment
for Democrats in this matter. We can
carry Leon county easier now than in
any future contest Make treason thor
oughly odious now and we'll have no
more Of it in future. This is what Dem
ocrats should do, whenever and where
ever it crops out.
