Rev. j. w. Powell, for many
years a missionary of the Baptist

splendid temperance speeches,

Both addresses were forcltle
enough to arouse the public spirit
of any community. We join
heartily with the best citizens IN
the desire to see every voter in
our county awaken to the fact that
with them lies the power to clean
our town of its too apparent evils
and make it a model community
in every respect.
