| The temperance ladies will be q
the polls again this year TO work fol
the Drys.
The Vets are expecting to gain 15(
votes in town, 65 at Pembroke, 20 a
Fairview and % at Lafayette, over
the vote Of 1886.
The Wet men are 30 confident oil
success that miny Of them are al
ready making arrangements to open
saloons the first week in March.
One week from tomorrow the
election comes of. The lines are be-
Ing sharply drawn and the neutrals
are growing scarcer every day.
When the Drys Offer proof to show
that the town has not been hurt by
prohibition the Vets reply by asking,
when there has ever been any prohi-
bilion in town.
The Drys are confident they will
increase their majoriiies in the north
200 votes, gain so at Bsrker's Mill, %
at Lafayette, % at Bennettstown and
keep the majority down to 300 in the
city.
The Wet men asked division OF
time with Sam Small, but the Drys
refused to turn his lectures into de-
bates, but say they will furnish
speakers to meet any Wet orator who
mounts the stump.
Luther Benson spoke at the court
house Tuesday night to an immense
crowd composed Of men only. His
speech was received by the prohibit
tionists with many manifestations of
approval.
There is some apprehension on the
part of the Wet men as to how the
blind tigers and walking accommo-
dstors will vote. They may go for
the Dry side, because licensed saloons
would break up their business.
The KENTUoKIAN is q newspaper
and will suppress no item Of news
concerning the issue now before us.
Facts, assumptions aud rumors will
be given for what they are worth and
the intelligent reader can figure on
the result for himself.
Messrs. S. w. Forgy and ID. L.
johnson, filled their appointment for
prohibition speeches al Concord
Church, Saturday night. The stten-
dance was limited, owing TO unfavor-
able weather, but the speakers were
Jealous as ever and got there all the
same.
1t Is believed that a majority Of the
board of councilmen would favor
high license should the Vets win.
Suppose this SHOULD DO true and %
saloons should reopen and pay $1,000
each city license and wipe out the
city debt in one week? The city
owes just s2s.500, but $1,000 would
paralyzs the small fry and cause
more kicking among the colored peo-
Pile than prohibition.
