every wide-awake and consecrated
minister of Christ's gospel in Madison
county will throw himself heartily in
to this campaign for prohibition. If
any one of the preachers of the county
feels that he cannot do this, let him for
decency's sake resign his high position
just as quickly as possible. The world
has more respect for the lowest saloon
keeper in Canton than for fence-rid-
ing preacher

A New Firm In Town.

The man who goes in debt always
pays for it, and the house that does a
credit business must have a sufficient
profit from its paying customers to cover
the bad debts which are an inevitable
feature of such a business system.
Therefore, the new grocery firm of
Roads, Lucas & Co., have reason on
their side when they claim that by a
strict cash system, buving everything
for spot cash and selling for spot cash,
they are enabled to furnish you goods
far below the ordinary retail prices.
Not only should this fact render their
place attractive, but there are other con-
siderations. A grocery should be the
cleanest place on earth. Who wants
filth in his daily food Just look in on

An effort will be made to interest the

immense artificial lake just south of
town, and contiguous to the main line
of their road. 1t is understood that the
Company is on the lookout for a suit.
able place for resort, where little ex.
pense will enable them to prepare for
the entertainment OF visitors, and if such
is the case, We undoubtedly have what
they want. They might look at every
point on the line, and no such convenient
spot can be found. By making q short
levee, a lake OF of 20 acres in extent can
be made, with natural EN- mbankments on
all sides. except stretch Of possibly $50
feet, on the west. Further, the location
is desirable, being midway between the
terminals OF the road, and at the junction
of the @. & NJ. We think the people of
Sardinia should make an effort to secure
this resort, as it will bring thousands of
visitors here annually, and will enhance
the value OF property to great extent
Every body put shoulder to the wheel
and give the enterprise hearty push.

Obituary,

Mollie Willetts, daughter of Gabriel
Willetts, died at her fathers home five
miles southeast of Hillsboro, about mid.
night of May 4th. For the past year
she has been gradually failing. For
some time she has been Christian in
belief, and during the last year had felt
that she was truly converted. few
weeks ago she was baptized by Rev.
Ketcham and joined the church. Those
who knew her recognized in her quiet,
sincere, noble nature. And now, though
but just reaching her majority, she is
called to the final home. The services
were held this morning at 10 o'clock at
the Prospect Methodist Church.

1t is with genuine surprise we learn
there are communities attempting to es.
cape the wise and patriotic law requir-
ing the erection of the American flag
over public school houses. 1t seems
strange that law which has been en-.
acted at the solicitations of the Grand
Army posts and patriotic citizens gen.
orally, should meet with the slightest
opposition. Yet, we learn there are
places in this county where the people
hesitate to honor "Old Glory" For
shame We trust we may not have to
60 into details and name and locate these
schools and their directors. Why should
any man in this country refuse to hoist
the American flag? Is it possible the
spirit of the Knights of the Golden
Circle still stalks abroad?
