County Ticket and Declare Their
Sentiments.
Pursuant to call for mass convention, a
number of Prohibitionists met at the Court
House on Saturday morning last. About
twenty five persons were present as delegates,
and occasionally few spectators would drop
in to watch proceedings. The convention
lacked the interest of the one two years ago.
The attendance was not more than half as
large. nor was the attendance of spectators,
and the proceedings lacked the spice and in
terest.
The convention was called to order by coun-
ty chairmen John W. Angel. He said-''two
! years have passed since had the honor of
calling to order body Of this kind, the first
in the county. Since then | have heard that
the Prohibition party is dead. | think that
| today there is a glorious resurrection, how
/ ever few we may be. We have come together
in the interest of humanity and the home, to
/ stand against the common, vicious and dan
| gerous enemy, the saloon, the greatest enemy
! to our civil and religious liberty. Now,
! brethren, we have many things to discourage
us. We have not the united christian tenn
perance men with us, but we are courageous,
! praying men, who pray and vote, and vote as
we pray We also have 100000 christian
women with US, whose prayers are aiding and
encouraging us and let us remember, how
ever few we are, we have duty TO perform,
and God is with US, too. In order to organ
ize for the work before US, propose Brother
Joseph F. Snavely, of Union Bridge tor tenn
