PROHIBITION ~ THE SOUTH.

We can all remember those halcyon ,iays
on the Mississippi river when men got up
early and partook Of something moist on an
empty stomach 50 as 10 get the maximum
amount Of excitement with the minimum Of
liquid, and when man invited another 70
take something and he refused. the inviter
usually drew derringer on the invitec and
proceeded TO construct an aperture through
his system. Nowadays the deadly insult is
tamcly swallowed with tho liquor. There
was time in Georgia when, II you wanted
to wet your whistle, you could step into the
house Of the nearest friend, and he would sat
out a bottle and tumbler, and not
only shut his eyes, but turn his back
on you when you poured out; but
last year when man in Georgia wanted
10 brace up. befor. he could satisfy
the cravings of . suffering stomach he had
Ia 80 up dark alley, burglar his way into
the back room OF an apothecary shop, and
mako an affidavit that hc was seize,i with an
acute attack Of Asiatic cholera and was
rapidly approaching n state of collapse.
Why, kentuckian, when you visit his state,
instead of inviting you 20 go 20 the races and
lending yOu n six shooter aud telling you 10
use il just as freely as IL il were your own,
now asks you whether YOU nre going to re-
mhin over Oh. sabbath. as he would bc
pleased To have you occupy a seat in his pew.
