Mermonism in Terrell.

We are told that the Mormons
have regularly established church
in the southeastern part of this
county where services are
frequently held. We regret that
these emissaries of the devil and
Joe Smith are still disposed to ia.
tigue the Indignation of the good
people of Terrell county. The
News counsels no violence toward
them further than is involved in
the raw hide or the hickory we'll
laid on. That may be sufficient
to rid the country of these prose-
lyting beasts; and there is no oc~
casion for violence when mild per.
suasives prove effective. But be
that as it may, the wretches who
come into this sectionand insinuate
themselves into quiet and honora~
bic homes, to destroy the sanctity
of the family relations between
those "whom God has joined to-
gether," should be made to know
end recognize the fact that Terrell
soil is, to them, forbidden
ground. The wives and daugh
tiers ofour people must be protect
ed from these moral lepers. Phys
ical leprosy is a boon in compari>
son with the moral pestilence that
abides in their wake.
