Holmes County Gone Dry.

Lexington, Miss, Oct. 26.-An cleo
ton under the local option laws was
held in Holmes county on yesterday.
The result for some days has been a
foregone conclusion and owing to that
fact little interest was manifested and
the vote was remarkably small. All of
the boxes have not yet been heard
from, but from present indications the
county has gone dry by large major
ity, considering the number of votes
cast. The dozen or more boxes now in,
show that the dry ticket prevails by at
least five to one. The utmost harmony
and good feeling prevailed throughout
the county The Lexington precinct
gave the dry ticket ninety-five votes
and twenty three for the wet.
Again comes cheering news of an
other victory. Holmes county gone
dry and by such handsome majority
as five to one. Let us be thankful and
take new courage and work all the
more earnestly till every county in
our beloved State is enrolled under the
white banner of temperance.

foreign lands have come their pledge

foreign lands have come their pledge
cards. Miss Anna Gordon's report of
the children's work was very encourag-
ing as it is principally through the
children of today that the great battle
is at last to be won for total abstinence
and for peaceful, happy homes.
Miss Kimball's report on Sunday
School work also gave q most encour-
aging outlook for temperance. She
said the Department had succeeded in
securing quarterly temperance lessons
in the regular course of the Interna-
tional Sunday School series and that
this means reaches 100000 children.
She added that the Sunday School of
today is the church of tomorrow and
when we have the church for temper
ance we have the world"
In all the Worlds Convention re-
ports there was nothing of more in
tense interest than the reports of the
"Round the world" missionaries. One
of them, Miss Jessie Alderman has tied
the white ribbon on to seven thousand
women.

In recent number of an American
magazine, Mr.. Jefferson tells a pathet-
ic story of meeting in the wilds of Aus
tralia Shepherd who had once been a
man of rank and position in London.
He had become drunkard, and after
trying every means of reform had at
last fed to Australia and buried him
self in the bush, alone but for a dog
that bore him company; he would not
tempt him to drink. For years he had
remained there solitary, not seeing the
face of a human being for months at a
time. But he had conquered the habit
which was making beast of him.
Perhaps among the readers of this
story there is some young man upon
whom the love of liquor has taken
hold. He is ashamed, terrified, anx-
ious to shake it off, but he feels its
grasp in the weakness of his will to
resist. What shall he do?
In the first place, recognize the fact
that this is a practical, physical evil,
and calmly bring practical, physical
remedies to bear on it. First seek help
from higher than human source, and
then use the rational remedies which
he has provided for this disease of the
body and SOUL If alcoholism is here
ditary in his family or if his immedi-
ate ancestors were moderate drinkers
his danger is greater, and the need of
prompt action more imminent. He
should put himself in the care of an
intelligent physician who will be able
somewhat to appease the intense cray
ing of stimulant.
But he must himself counterfeit the
cause which drove him to drink. If it
was desire for "fun" and excitement,
let him find some amusements differ
ent from those in which he has been
indulging which will drive it from his
mind.
If he began to tipple in secret, let
him shun solitude and find cheerful,
entertaining society. If on the other
hand, he drinks only when with certain
associates, let him give them up at
once and wholly.
Occupation, healthy and absorbing,
for mind and body, is the surest safe
guard for him. For, after all, "the
way to stop drinking is to stop drink
ing" and whatever strengthens the
weakened will and helps him to refuse
to taste even a drop is the most ration
al remedy.-Youth's Companion.

Once more want to urge upon our
w. c. T. U. members the great necessi-
ty of taking the LEADER and keeping
up with the work of temperance and
with all such things as we will find ed
ucative in that line. The paper is an
excellent one and since our Union be-
gan about one year ago to take it, l
have been able to know much more
about what our brothers in the tenn
perance work were doing and have had
a better view of the situation general
ly. 1t is certainly worth the small
subscription price of s1.00 per year to
any one who cares to read at all; but
to any organization engaged in such a
work as ours it is an actual necessity
to have some means of posting our
selves 1t is the best paper in the State
and we can safely rely upon what we
find in its columns let us not fail to
have it in our homes.

The Christian Inquirer deals with
the liquor problem and says: "How to
abolish the saloon and rid ourselves of
the denominations of the liquor traffic
is the problem with which we wrestle.
1t is practical question, the burning
topic of the day. We can see no effec-
tive, permanent remedy for the woes of
intemperance but in the entire sup
preston of the saloon, and the entire
destruction of the liquor traffic. Half
way measures will not accomplish
whole way results. Drinking cannot
be stopped by keeping open the saloon.
The saloon cannot be rendered innoX-
ious by sprinkling it with holy water,
or taking it into the lecture room of a
Church. 1t must be destroyed, sup
pressed, driven out of society. That
can be done only by law"

Where doctors Disagree"

When one tells you to put toads,
lizards, snakes, ETC., in bottles filled
with alcohol so as to preserve the flesh
from dissolving and keep fresh for a
term of years, another tells you to put
alcohol in your stomach where good
meal of fresh meat has gone, for the
purpose of dissoiying it and aiding
digestion" The man who takes alco-
hol to help digest his food must first
throw off the alcohol before the stom-
ach can commence the operation Ma

w. c. T. U. WOMEN AT CHICAGO.

The published accounts of the two
great w. C. T. U. Conventions at Chi
cago are far too lengthy to reproduce
in these columns and we can only give
few items, trusting that the majority
at least, if not all white ribboners will
read in the Union Signal of those won
derful meetings and the great good &C
complished by them:
In Chicago, on Oct. 16, at A. NJ, at
the Art Palace, the second biennial
convention of the Worlds Woman's
Christian Temperance Union met,
bringing together women representing
not only this continent but many other
lands.
Lady Henry Somerset, who had jour
neyed especially from England in her
capacity of ice-president at large of
the organization, to represent Miss
Willard, who is in England for her
health, called the opening session to
order.
ton resolved itself into a mass meet
ing under the presidency of Rev. Anna
H. Shaw, and addresses were delivered
by several foreign delegates, among
them Lady Henry Somerset, of Eng
land, Miss DeBroen, president of the
French Woman's Christian Temper.
ance Union, and Sen Tsuda, of Japan
Lady Henry Somerset read, amid
breathless silence, an address from
Miss Frances Willard, dictated from
her bed of sickness, at her temporary
English home. 1t was general review
of the work in all parts of the world
made in the cause of temperance by
w. c. T. U. missionaries.
1t is gratifying to know how grandly
Lady Henry Somerset was greeted and
listened to in Chicago. America can
never thank her enough for coming to
fill our 'beloved chieftain's" place in
the National Convention.
The largest audience of the entire
Convention week assembled in Column
bus Hall Sunday afternoon to hear the
annual sermon" by Lady Henry Som
erset AS early as twelve o'clock hun
dreds of people were standing on the
outside steps, awaiting an entrance.
If the estimate of three Thousand be
the seating capacity of the hall, there
must have been at least five thousand
people in the congregation. The pre-
liminary exercises were simple and APP,
propriate to the day. Mrs. Buell. pre-
sided as gracefully as she had all the
week, and Mrs. Frances Graham, of
New York, led the singing. Bishop
Newman led in prayer and pronounced
the benediction. Lady Henry Somer-
set took for her text, sand the disci-
pies were called Christians first at An
tioch" Acts IL: 26) and preached upon
the vital question, "What is it to be a
