To-day ls the last day Of the Ohio
Valley Prohibition Assembly. The
meetings OF yesterday were attended by
very large audiences and much enthusi-
asm prevailed. In the morning The ex-
eyclsls were opened at o'clock by the
annual love feast. Following this, Mr.
John G. woolley delivered his first adj
dress. He took for his text the eeven-
teenth verse Of the twelfth chapter of

1.-The time will soon be here when the
Christian people will take a stand In
this matter and have the courage TO
drive out this Internal drink traffic,
The matter with the country to-day Is

true to his wife and child and Church
and the teachings Of God, has to be

Practical politics Is also concerned In
this issue. 1t Is a business trade when
YOU trade at a store. II you don't see
what Won are after you ask for It. Your
etorekeeper knows the quality OF goods
Won want and he keeps them. II he be
a dishonest man his store will betray the
fact. They always keep Just what you
want and trade with you accordingly.
The same rule applies to our govern
ment. The politicians pass laws that
they know the people will stand and In
voting for those people We encourage

Balm entertained very large audience
He spoke on 1.-THE Safe Side Of Life for
Young Men" The lecture was very ap-
propriate and those present took home
many points which will be useful to
them. He said he did think that every
man who drank would become a
drunkard, but he did urge that every
man be for total abstinence. Drunk.
