REV. REID AND A FREE LUNCH.
They Draw Crowd to the Meeting Of the
Prohibition Club.

The Rev. j. w. Reid and free lunch
drew q large crowd TO the meeting of
the Prohibition club last evening. The
refreshments consisted of cakes and
hot coffee, and the Rev. j. w. Reid
spoke of the Relation of the Church
TO Prohibition" Music and Rotations
helped 20 eniiven the occasion. Mr..
Reds theme was prohibition pure and
simple, and he said that all other pollt-
ical questions sink into insignficance
when compared with it. In speaking
OF the tariff, he said that law which
put penny into q mans pocket from
the sale of his wool, and at the same
time permitted him to thrust his hand
into the opposite pocket and take out
ten-dollar bill and hand it over to the
saloon-keeper, was a damage to the
citizens of any country. He did net
approve the coalition Of the prohibition
and peoples parties, unless the new
party should retain the prohibition
name and the principle of prohibition.
The meeting was more largely attended
than any meeting held by the club for
the last year.
