If prohibition does not prohibit,
but only means free rum, how comes
it that the liquor trade from garrett
to cellar is unanimously and vehe-
mently hostile to the enactment of
prohibitory amendments? Truly
"the children of this world are wiser
in their generation than the children
of Light Witness.
A shoe manufacturer in Portland,
Me-, being asked to assist in proyid-
ing bread for the suffering poor, said
that he would contribute to the ex-
tent of 100 sucks of flour and 100
bushels of meal, one sack of flour
and one bushel of mel to be given to
every man in Portland who neither
kept dog, drank rum, nor used TO-
bacco, and was in need of bread.
According to the local papers the first
man had not appeared up to day or
two ago to claim the gift Witness.
The Michigan Legislature has bill
prohibiting "the manufacture, sale,
keeping for sale Or giving away of
any cigarettes or any imitation there
of 90 nposed in whole or part of to-
bacco, or any substance in the form
of the cigarette containing narcotic
clements, or any rice paper, or any
paper designed for cigarette wrap

dy's birthday to those shut in from
the privilege of freedom. We have
ours two weeks earlier, as the 9th of
June is most too late for the flowers
here. The chaplain has very kindly
given the time of the Sabbath preach

The State president will preach a

tations interspersed with singing,
At the close each convict will be pre-
sented with bouquet and text card
tied with white ribbon. The flowers

w. c. T. u. Notes.

Good word from the Beebe Band
of Hope. Mrs. Yantis, the superin-
tindent of the work is an earnest
woman from Kentucky, who sees the
need of the children being taught
and works accordingly. This is the
band that took the banner at the con-
vention.
The meeting of the Y's Monday at
4 pm, was one of interest and
promise. Miss Ella Miller, the pres
ident, presided with ease and grace.
They voted to appropriate money for
literature to distribute, explaining
the reorganization, its plans and OBJ
ject,' and also to be prepared to give
a Bible reason for total abstainauce.
They entered heartily into the plan
for giving flowers at the penitentiary
and hospital next Sunday, and volun-
teered to provide cards and write the
texts to go with the bouquets. They
invite all young ladies to come and
unite with them.
As usual several of those interested
in the work of the Union assembled
at Headquarters and were blessed as
they united in singing and prayer.
Arrangements were perfected for the
Sabbath exercises at the penitentiary,
the chaplain very kindly giving the
whole time to the Union. Flowers
and texts will be sent to the hospital.
Moved and carried that the Union will
pay 81 per month toward the support
of State Headquarters, as it is a great
accommodation to have a nice pleas
ant room for the weekly meetings.
The Union decided to have celebra-
ton on the Fourth of July. Inform
alton will be given in season and we
expect good time. Some interesting
items of the Police Matron work were
given and steps taken to secure the
remainder of her salary. As all her
back salary has not been paid, any
contributions to aid in this good work
will be thankfully received. Mrs.
Harris has won many friends in her
uncongenial work and is bringing
credit (if not revenue) to the city.
Let each feel they have personal in
terest at least to help on this good
work. Anything sent to Headquar-
tiers, care of Mrs. Chace, will be
promptly applied.
Next Sunday, the 26th, will be
Flower Day for the penitentiary and
hospital. This is very pleasant de-
partment of W. G. T. U. work, which
was created in 1882 at Louisville,
Ky, when Miss Jennie Cassidy-an
invalid then for twenty years and for
six years had not turned herself on
her couch without help-said to our
dear Miss Willard, ~ wish L could
do something in your work." and
our president said, ga frail flower
yourself, you shall be superintendent
of our Flower Mission" Since then
this dear invalid, often very near the
"border-land," has sent out messages
of the Masters love in texts selected
from the blessed Bible, to be PLACED
with bouquets and given (when con-

Friday we left Prescott to attend the WillisvilIe Masonic picnic. Spent the night very pleasantly with our genial friend, Capt. John Parker, and Saturday morning went on to Willisvlle. Just before 10 o'clock hard rain began falling, continuing until nearly 12, which interfered somewhat with the days program. About 1000 people present. and all enjoyed the day after the rain, espe- ciallv the dinner, spread upon ample tables in a nice grove in front of Mir. Herring's store. The installation of officers (Masonic), by Hon. T. C. McRae, and the address made imme- diately afterwards by himself, were impressive and timely. Met many friends and several of our clever scribes. Auto B. Shot' is anything else than what his nom de plume i'm plies, and to him we leave the write up of this occasion. Secured several new subscribers while absent, among them Messrs. J. N. Ncstal, F. W. Bailey and l.. A. Miears, all clever, nice gentlemen and good citizens.

 Stop killing squirrels and rabbits and go to killing weeds and grass. We are into it, and the only way to get out is to work out.
 don't mean to be personal, but there are class of fellows calling themselves farmers who by some means secure credit, pitch crops, and then spend the most of their time in hunting, gossiping, or gadding about over the neighborhood. Of course they don't pay up in the fall accord ing to promise, but never fail to add insult to injury by speaking of the merchant who favored them as a dis honest eXtortioner. Whoever this cap fits, just place it on like a little man, and don't tell anybody, but try to improve.

 The complaint against Judge Rob- inson gets louder. He is openly charged with favortism, extrava- gence and partially. The Quorum Court, when convened, ought to set down on the iron bridge, or else they will be compelled to make a special bridge tax levy. The present bridge fund is only about nine hundred dollars per year, and for the next three years the iron bridge contract will consume two thousand and two hundred dollars, only leaving about five hundred dollars for the repairing and building of new bridges for three years. The bridge fund was barely adequate to the demand of the county Under the present management the bridge tax must almost double. A grumbler at high taxes and low wages, should not seek to lay an additional burden up- on an already overburdened people.
