BROOKHAVEN, MISSISSIPPI, TUESDAY. MARCH 90 1894.
FORWARD, MARCHl
Let Every Individual Prohibitionist Keep
Up the Fight.

Let Livery lnulvluuai fTOniDitiOHisS hcep
Up the Fight.
Let the battle be pressed now as never
before.
Press home the truths.
Keep up the public meetings.
Every club and league must be kept
in perfect working order.
Push the circulation of prohibition
papers.
Scatter prohibition literature knee
deep.
Labor to convert the preachers, and
the elders, and the class leaders, and the
Sunday school superintendents. The
bishops will then follow.
The victory is bound to come. The
nation is yet stronger than her vices, and
the saloon must go.
The prohibition sentiment should not
be measured by the number of votes
polled by the Prohibition party. There
is an undercurrent of public sentiment
that will one of these days break forth
like raging, fearful volcano that will
sweep the rum traffic into everlasting
oblivion.
Party ties and party prejudices have
up to this time kept down this sea of
hatred that exists in the hearts of the
people against the internal whisky traf-
fic, but this condition of things cannot
last forever, and as God is God and right
is right the day of judgment for the sa-
loon is near at hand
Let us take courage and press forward.
We are on Gods side Of this question,
and God still reigns.
Rally round the flag, boys, and press
forward! Let there be no grumbling,
no fault finding, no backsliding, no cow
ardice, but q determined advance all
along the lines.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-03-20
A Statesman's Words.

To preserve the government we must
also preserve correct and energetic
tone of morals, consisting more in the
habits of the people than in anything
else. There are always men wicked
enough to go to any lengths in the pur-
suit of power if they can find others
wicked enough to support them. AM
bilious men must be restrained by the
public morality. When they rise up to
do evil, they must find themselves stand
ing alone. Morality rests on religion.
If you destroy the foundation, the super
structure must fall.-Daniel Webster,
July 4, 1902.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-03-20

We are all pledged to temperance by
the vows of our baptism. No one Il
bound to total abstinence. It is the free
choice of those who aspire to live by the
counsel of higher life. Happy are the
homes where the father and mother are
pledged to the higher life. Happy are
the children who have never known the
taste of intoxicating drink.-Archdeacon
F. w. Farrar.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-03-20

With Prohibition and an independent,

Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-03-20

An experience of more than 90 years
sometimes under exceptionally trying
circumstances-has proved to me that
the daily use of alcohol, even in small
quantities, is prejudical in cold climates.
DIR. Rae of Arctic Expedition.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-03-20

l have acted ON the principle of total
abstinence from all alcoholic liquors dur
ing more than 20 years. My opinion is
that the most severe labors or privations
may be undergone without alcoholic
stimulants. Livingstone.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-03-20

The old fashioned temperance pledge
spread it on every platform, ON every
pulpit stairs and on every communion
table. There are thousands Of personsl
who, having made a promise, will keep
it till the day of judgment.-T. De Witt
Talmage, d. ID.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-03-20

Taking the pledge means deal more
than simply writing ones own name; 81
often means righting ones whole life.-

feet all day. She didn't express
her wonder that he hadn't died
years ago nor predict that when h,
reached the age of Methuselah he
would know better than to roll in
snowbanks or stand around in mud
puddlcs; she didn't kick over chairs
or slam doors or leave him alone.
When Mr. Bowser shed tears she
wiped them away. When no moan
ed. she held his hand. When hs
said that the grim spectcr was near
and wanted TO kiss the baby good
by, she cheered him with the pre-.
dlction that he would be grea,
deal better next day.
Mr.. Bowsor didn't get up mex,
day, though the doctor said b,
could. He lay in bed aud sighed
and uttered sorrowful means and
groans. He wanted toast and pre-.
serves; he had to have help to turn
over; hc worried about relapse; he
had to have damp cloth on his
forehead he wanted to have a coun.
cll of doctors, and he read the copy
Of his last will aud testament over
three times. lie was all right next
morning, however. When Mrs.
Bowser asked hlm how he felt, he
replied:
GLOW do l feel Why, as right
as trivet. of course. When man
takes the care of himself that | do
when he has the nerve and will
power have--he can throw of
most anything. You would have
died, Mrs. Bowscr. but | was
scarcely affected. 1t was just Il
play spell. I'd like to be real sick
once just to sec how it would seem.
Cholera, ! suppose it was. but out
side of feeling little tired,
wasn't at all effected"
And the dutiful Mrs. Bo~sel
looked at hlm and swallowed it al
and never said word to hurt hi,
feelings.

IN THE GOOD OLD REPUBLICAN
COUNTY OF MONONGALIA.

One day recently farmer living
six or seven miles IN the country
made his appearance in town, lead
ing. or rather pulling along an old
dilapidated, spindle shaken brindle
steer across whose bony spinal COL
umn there were TO be seen three
we'll filled sacks, securely strapped
on with big leather straps. He had
occasion to go down past the rail-
road station and there hitchcd his
beast OF burden to the fence near
by. Having done this, he hustled
around to the baggage room. While
be was parleying with the baggage
man about "why it costs so much TO
send anything on the keers"a train
come dashing into view, and before
our farmer friend had time to
''ketch" his bovine, the engine was
putting and blowing aud making
enough noise to wake dead eng
ger". This was the first time"Je er-
ry" had paid the railroad visit, /,
and such an unearthly scene rs this
was too much for him. lie turned
his head upon tho roaring monster
for an instant and then the per-
formsncc began. With his rickety
old frame trembling like an aspen
leaf he opened his eyes wildly, snuff
ed the air madly, flung bis tail up
over bis back into half moon, and
then with frantic below lit out
for the country homestead, at a
lightning speed. Following along be.
hind was TO be seen the farmer bob.
binQ along on the high places swear
ing and yelling at the top Of his
voice "whoa there, Jerryl" at every
leap. But Jerry didn't whoa aud
on they went, and were soon lost to
sight in the distance. We heard Of
them two miles beyond Farchild
Harner's and they we're still going
at lively rate with the farm or
bringing up the rcar.-Post.

DRIFTING

DRIFTING-
Fair head against my heart,
White hands held fast IN mine,
Sweet lips that hardly part.
Soft arms that gently twine,
As down the silent stream
We drift us in dream.
The rusiling foliage near
Signs with mournful tone
Higher in the trees we hear
The south winds dying moan
Sill down the silent stream
We drift, and drifting, dream.
The sun sinks in the west,
The wild fowls hurry by,
And passing TO their rest
They chant n lullaby
While borne upon the stream
We gently drift ana dream.
The bittern's lonely cry
Comes family through the night
The wild swan far on high
Pursues her silent flight
As down the quiet stream
We slowly drift aud dream.
Ah !should our voyage last
Through all eternity,
The arms holding me fast
Would welcome letters be-
Forever down the stream
TO slowly drift and dream.
