Sound Logic.

Who are the friends of this people?
This is question that has been
asked a good many times, and an
swered in the words of the Savior
when he said "they that are not for
us, are against u.s." Now we have
among us men whose heads are grey
and who have travelled thousands of
miles for the gospels sake and who
have families of their own and if we
should say to them "you are our
esnemies," they would feel grieved
and would positively deny it But
such is the case. Now the question
is, "who are they?" One will say
"Is it l" and another may say
"Is it l." Now l will tell you who
it is 1t is he who bears the name
of a Latterday Saint and makes pre-
tentions to be friend Of God and
his people, while his acts in life con-
tradicts him. ] allude to those who,
for little money, are selling wine
and other stimulants to the youth
of this people. Do they realize
what they are doing. If they have
not had serious reflections on this
matter, it is high time they stop and
pause for a moment, and find out
what they are doing. They are
running their health as we'll as teach
ing them to break the laws of God
in many ways. They are teach
ing them to disobey their pa
rents. They are encouraging
them to steal from their parents
to obtain means to pay them
for that which is a curse to them,
and thus, l say, they are the enemies
of this people. Now you who are
guilty know it, and you need not
ask "is tt l." 1t is every one that
is guilty, and to all such / warn
you to stop it, and stop it now; or
you will see the day, ere long, when
you will regret it; for the loving
mothers of these youths will rise up
against you, for they are already
offering up their prayers to God to
stop this unhallowed practice, and
you will see the day that they will
not only pray, but they will work
with will; and when they unite to
stop it, they will accomplish it.
For they love their offspring and
they will protect them, and when
they do, l and many others are on
hand to help them. So say to you
again, stop it! for while you con-
tinue dealing out intoxicants to the
youth of this people, you are their
enemies! william Atkin.

during the last few weeks, on rail-

company that will connect at that
place.
Said the statement made in
the Herald that the railroad
would not come to St. George, was
made by parties who are not in

course, was not true.
Just where the road will run
through this county is not yet de-
fnitely known, but it is considered
very advisable, as far as possible.
to take water level and not cross
any of the mountain ranges Of this
country.
Grading on the Deep Creek
road will probably begin this COM
ingweek.
Ceder City was very liberal in
furnishing LAT orers and means for
to help build the road.
The company have secured a
large amount of reservoir sites to
take care Of the waters of Coal
Greek.
Advised the people to secure the
titles to their land and water rights
while they have chance for there
is no doubt but spectators will be
on the watch for everything that
Is OF any value.
It is calculated to issue the rail-
road stock, as much as possible,
in small amounts in order to give
the Utah people chance to own
the greater part of the stock.

this country with view to put
