OBITUARY.

Colonel WILLIAM GwIN, the subject
of this brief sketch, was born February
9th, 1870 in the State of Tennessee. He
moved to Lawrence county, Miss, when
only a small boy. He was first married
in the beginning of manhood and his first
wife soon died. lie was again married
December 30th, 1880, to Miss Sarah SUIT
ton. There were born unto them II
children, boys and II girls.
Colonel Gwin was a truly patriotic cit
izen, takirga deep interest in all that
pertaincd to the welfare of his country.
He filled several Offices during his long
life with general satisfaction. During
the late war when the call for volunteers
was made, his sons promptly enlisted in
defense of their country, and when two of
them fell on the battle field, the father
rejoiced that they had died in a good
cause.
He joined the Mt. Moriah Baptist
Church, and was baptized about 81 years
go. His love for his wife aud children,
his home, his country, his church, his
pastor and his God, was ever true and
loyal.
In the last years of his life he was af-
tlicted with a cancer, and for some
months confined to his bed, during which
time this writer visited him, read and ex-
pounded the word of God, and prayed
with him. We always found him full of
"precious faith in God.
He fell asleep January 18th, 185S,-
"Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Cnbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus O, how sweet
To he for such u slumber meet:
With holy confidence to sing
That death has lost his yenomed sting
Asleep in Jesus peaceful rest,
Whose waking is sHprcmely blest.
No fear, no Woe shall dim that hour
That manftSts the Savior's power"
To all the bercaved we ext nd onr con-
dOlence. K. j. b.

doubt of the share taken In the traffic
by the people whose Governmentissues
licenses to grogshops.
1t is conceded also that governments
rights and powers extend not only to
the protection Of life, liberty and prop
erty, but to encourage and assist the
people to create and accumulate prop
erty, to gather about them ciylllzing
comforts, etc, etc. But the effect OF
rum upon man is the opposite OF this, as
the property OF the drinker IS not only
wasted by his act OF drinking, but drunk
enness demoraliZes man, numos his
energies and renders him incapable OF
creating and accommodating property
drunkenness tends to poverty, misery
and crimes. All this the Government
encourages when it allows the importa-
ton and manufacture OF strong drink,
then by licenses authorizes its sale when
its only legitimate fruits are evil, only
evil. If the friends OF intemperance Will
take I'D the defense OF the grogshops and
show their good fruits it would undouot-
edlv take the wind out OF the sails OF
prohibitionists. Ii they can't show any
good fruits it is only question OF time
when the grogshop will be q thing OF the
past among civilized people.
If prohibition is wrong prove 1t by
reasonable arguments; if it is right vote
for it. The days will come no doubt
when governments will no more think
of licensing the sale of rum, than they
would to sell license to murder, and
the people would be shocked at the
enormity of the crime. Should 1t be
done so much for future civilization.
The world moves and man must step
up upon a higher plane OF civilization!
and more comprehensive view Oh
Christianity. Then they will begin to
realize that an act that kills d man with
rum is as great a crime as though he
was killed with q sword or any other
murderous weapon, and selling rum as
beverage will be viewed the same as
any other crime that takes away mans
life, liberty and property, contrary to
law.
The only argument produced by the
rum interest when simmered down
amounts to this, viz. 1--WE claim for all
citizens the full enjoyment OF all per-
sonal liberty.r Personal liberty in this
case means the liberty to drink, get
drunk and play hell, waste their prop
erty, irnpoverish their families, make
paupers and criminals, entail burdens OF
taxation grievous to be borne, and
make day and night hideous with
their drunken orgies. This is what
their personal liberty must mean,
as this is what prohibitionists say
they have no right to do. They
can have personal liberty" to do
every good thing and no one will
object. But to make sure they keep
sober we want rum put out OF the reach
of drunkards. And to do this it must
also be put out OF the reach OF moderate
drinkers, as it is from this class the
ranks of the drunkards are filed.

introduction OF new plants and the adop-
ton of new sources Of supply and new
methods OF manufacture promised such
profits to our farmers as do the domesti-
cation OF iute and ramie in the Gull
states, and OF sugar from cane in Florida,
or from sorghum, beets or corn in all
parts Of our country at this time. The
cultivation and manufacture OF jute and
ramie would increase the price OF land

the people thereof more than $l00, 900, 600
annually as the market value OF an aver

more than double this annual income.
