A correspondent Ct the Hancock Clari

chapter IN the history OF Time. Wher
the next Clarion lie issued the nineteenth
century will be a thing Of the past" etc
Is this correspondent quite sure that h'
is correct in making this assertion? Die
the century really end with the passing
OF the year 1899, or does it end with the
year 1900? may be in error, but never
theless feel confident that it can be-
clearly demonstrated that the twentieth
century Lbegins with the year 1901. A
correspondent Of the News will please
make note.
1t was with pleasure that learned o.
the substantial victory won by the tenn
perance workers Of Cloverport, and il
will be a source OF greater pleasure il the
law proves more effectual than it has in
Lewisport. Never before, perhaps, hal
the ineffec.iveness OF the law as applied
to Lewisport been more clearly proven
than during the Christmas week just
past. Jugsl jugsl Jugtl Jugs by rail, Jug
by boat, jugs by wagon, and jugs by every
other available mode Of transit The
streets as full OF drunken men as il there
were a saloon on every corner, and not 9
cent of all that was spent for this went
into the town Golfers. This is said in
fear and trembling, for appreciate the
fact that may again be accused of pos
sessing a sordid mind and OF being actu
ated solely by mercenary motives. Past
experience has taught me that to men
ton money in connection with this mat
ter in any way Is a grievous ofiense
However, trust may be credited with
sincerity when l say it is my earnest
wish that Cloverport may enjoy prohibi
ton in It's truest sense, and that she
may never see the law subverted and
distorted, as it has been in Lewisport.
