Now" the Tucker Pioneer Of last week
prints the following:
ga couple of Mormon reprobates
have been preaching their doctrine Of
pofygamy and cussedness in Clover and
Licking for some time past, and we
learn thar one family has embraced the
.'faith." Why people viii tolerate
these lepers 70 morality and decency Is
a mystery to us. Their doctrines are
contrary to the laws of God and man,
and is not even recognized by the devil
for the devil is no Latter Day Saint.
The Mormons to-day stand branded
with the mark OF Cain, with the blood
of innocent women and children that
persisted 10 the great Mormon massacre
which was iusugated by lot Of old
Mormon reprobates who called them
selves Prophets-still unavenged. Yet
they are permitted 20 teach their doe
rrine-to corrupt community with
their communicating iuuuence-to turn
the heads of ounces and fools, ana Yet
90 unmOiested NOrmoHs should be
promptly fired out of a community as
soon as they make their appearance
kicked ont by the pOpulace IT 10 Is neceS-
sary, and that at lively rate. III there
Is no civil law for this there IS a moral
law that demands IL. Do not allow your
manhood insulted by having the doc
trine of pOlygamy Haunted tn your
face. Preserve the honor OF your COM
munity and your homes

Mrs. John Mccullough, ON hluawha

solent manner demanded something to
eat, and upon being refused and re-
buked FOR their iusOeuce, they became
angry aud forced their unweIcomc pres
ence into the house ana proceeded to
help themselves. To was then that
Miss Birdie Lewis and Miss Rebecca
Barbee, her guest, began 90 show their
nerve and make preparations 90 defend
the house and themselves, as they were
alone. They secured o revolver and
charged upon the trampS, threatening
10 shoot them dead If they did not
leave the premises az once. The
trampS finding that the brave younS
ladies had the drop on them, beat o
hasty retreat, and got out Of that COM
munity Us fast as their feet would carry
them.
