doubt but the contemplated write up Of

A Communication.

If the campaign against local option is to
be urged on the ground that farmers will
not come into town to trade because they
cannot get something to drink, it had bet
ter be abandoned. In the first place Ii Is an
outrageous reflection on the farming popu-
lstion, and any such general statement ema-
mating from any business source In Owosso
will do more to injure the persons who make
it than they imagine. Let the men who be-
leve such statement to be true put on their
sale announcement circulars sen. into the
country to the farmers something like this:
''We are convinced that if local option car
ries you will be denied the privilege and op-
portunity of getting glass when in town,
therefore we are dong all in our power to
oppose the movement. Blank & Co." And
see how the farmers trade would drop the
advertiser Of such proposition, which Is
not only dishonest but not at all ingenious
Another proposition is made to those who
give credence to the statement Is to select
unfortunately in any page of Mills coun-
ty directory the names OF farmers whose
rating entities them to credit and ask them
the question fairly, "If saloons are abolished
in Shiawassee county can we depend on
your trade in the future as In the past ?"
And if there Is found one man out of ten
who will answer in the negative, the case
will be decided in favor of the saloon.
Still again, even were it true that the
farmers came to town to get drink and be-
come debauched, is it wise and righteous
for the maintenance of such a condition, and
is there no other reason for maintaining q
town except for the purpose of debauchery.
And further, is 1t not contrary to all busi-
ness principles to desire to maintain rival
business which the saloons are to legitimate
business ? However we may claim that we
do not care how many competitors we have
it is source of no great joy when COM
petitor commences for our trade. Those
men who opposed the saloon on west Ex-
change street were wrong IL the saloon
draws trade and its prohibition drives trade
away. That the overwhelming vote cast
in this county In the rural districts against
the saloon in previous elections, and that
the practically unanimous signatures of the
people in the county has been secured for
this movement, is refutation of the sland-
ers being circulated against the farmers
''who come TO town to drink and trade"
There is already powerful feeling ex-
listing against the saloons in the county at
the present, and the same feeling will ex-
tend to their allies who SANDER the farmers
in the name Of business. A FARMER.

the amount of anxiety some of our citizens

others are even more anxious for fear they
will not. Afraid justice will not be meted

Capture of Fort Fisher.

A large audience was at the ArmOry last
evening to listen to the address of Judge s.
b. Daboll. of st. Johns, department COM
mander Of the Grand Army of Michigan, on
the Capture of Fort Fisher" at the mouth
of Cape Fear river. He was materially as
sisted by Stanley e. Parkill with stereop-
ticon by which the audience was able to see
the fort in all its appointments, as it ap-
peared when it seemed so impregnabIe and
defiant, and again in its shattered and dis
mantled condition, after seven hours of the
most terrific cannOnading the world had ever
seen. When the expedition set out from
Fortress Monroe and headed to the south
there was assembled there under the COM
mand of Commodore Porter, more than so
vessels of war, being the most formidable
naval force, If estimated by the magnitude
and effectiveness of its armament, that had
ever been assembled in the history of the
world. This was in January, 1865. Fort
Fisher was at this time the stronghold of the
Confederacy, and, in fact, one of the strong
est eartbworks ever constructed. 1t looked
like the venture of forlorD hope to attempt
to reach its earthwOrks, and much more to
think OF scaling its parapets, and driving
from its Businesses more than two thousand
of the bravest troops of the Confederacy.
In the ordinary acceptation of the term
Judge Daboll Is not an orator, but his de-
scription of the Union soldiers as they were
deployed in scattered companies, amid the
deafening roar of the naval artillery, await
ing the signal to advance, and to continue to
advance, regardless of the fall of comrades
at their sides, was not less graphic and thrill
ing than his word painting of the seven
hours of incessant fighting which followed.
The "Charge of the Light Brigade" as i'm
mortalized by Tennyson, was net more he
roic, nor the loss of life more terrible Upon

w. G. 7. u. Notes.

The advertised topic Of last weeks w. G.
T. U. meeting was convention echoes"
The time allowed the program demanded
the utmost breyity in speaking. OF course
the critic got in her say. She would like to
give some points on reporting, so that all
reports be condensed before they are pre-
sented, and spare us the time of listening to
private correspondence, etc. She would also
suggest that some other phrase do duty a
part of the time In place of 'this line"
''these lines" sin these lines" with their
few variations.
One who was ''cumbered with much serv-
ing" spoke of the uplifting received from the
devotional hours, from which she stole back
to her cares refreshed and strengthened. A
friend of the speaker on social purity had
learned from her some points not brought
out in the public address; for example,
names of senators and arguments used IN
favor of laws protecting llbertines instead of
their intended victims. Some thought the
lady too severe on her own sex for turning
from fallen women, apparently unmindful
of the agency of man in keeping as wide as
possible the breach between their victims
ID those whose respect they would retain.
Wno ever heard of a libeftine persuading his
wife, sister or sweetheart to 20 to the rescue
OF fallen woman?
She who was to speak on franchise was so
busy preparing for future address on the
subject as to seem oblivious Of past echoes.
One had been especially stimulated by
the practical advice on conducting union

reasons that progressive women coming into
