has no right to beat large. -.

Numerous friends from Lime Spring
have dropped in to congratulate the
PLAIN DEALER for its expose of the
character Of the Ant;-Sa-
loon League, and to assure it that it
had made many friends thereby. The
honest friends of temperance were ap-
palled at the expose. And we assure
them what is in reserve that we are
not permitted to even hint at now, is
ten times as black and infamous.

Vaccination is doomed to the ignomi-
nous fate that befel incubation in
England. Men worthy of being legis-
ators should not only repeal state
avs authorizing vaccination, but it
should be prohibited by law as inocu-
alton was in England, because it
neither prevents or mitigates small
ooX, but introduces many diseases
worse than small pox into the human
system. The desired papers were
furnished.
