Of twenty-six. Elections have been held

The temperance forces in Nassau coun-
ty know a good thing when they see 1t,
as evidenced by the fact thas they secur-
ed the services Of Rev. w, J. Carpenter
and Hon. Christopher Matheson, of this

campaign. Mr., Carpenter went TO Fer.

audience more then week ago and is
now there again.

nights in the county last week. He

during the day Friday he spoke to sew.

at each Of the places where he spoke,
and the people showed desire to learn
all they could on tie subject
Both Mr., Carpenter and Mr. Matheson
say that tue business and professional
men in Fernandiua the liquor business
men OF course excepted--are for prohi-
bition almost 10 a man, At first the wet
men seemed to have no fears about the
result but since four or FIVE counties
have been voted dry quite recently and
not one has been held by the liquor
men they are feeling blue about Nassau,
alec. We believe Nassau will go dry by
good majority, When the business
men, professional men and Christians
unite, as they have in Nassau against the
saloons, something is sure to happen.

Cry Down the Town-Rus-
mess Is Good.

Editor Star:-Live Oak is the livest
town to be dead ever saw. l spent two
days there last week and made some in
vestigations of interest. OF course it is
dead for there are no barrooms. But my
the business, thrift aud enterprise will
astonish you. Improvements are almost
everywhere, Big mills make it, you sd,
Yes, but these mills came after the bar.
rooms left, Possibly one was there be.
fore, operating OIL small scale, but now
the business done there is simply I'M
niense. People are contented and happy.
Women can walk the streets at night or
on Saturday without the fear and danger
that was when barrooms we're there, A
prominent banker told me the people had
more money, and there was also more
money for investment than under saloon
domination. Live Oaks marshal is a lit
tie fellow, and like ours seems to have
little to do.
The people of Live Oak do not 90
about talking against their city. have
heard of some things said by Gainesville
people men who get their living out of
Gainesville-in Mayo, Lake City and
Fernandina, that reflected upon our city {.
II the facts had been told it would have
been different. have interviewed a ma
jority, of our business men aud they tell
Inc their business is better than last year
at the same time. OF course If man
talks against his business, and will anger
his patrons by incorporate statements,
he may uotbe surprised il he loses their
trade
One reputable business man toll me
that the country store, which sold goods
cheaper than the Gainesville merchant,
had not been of advantage TO our town,
l suppose people have to wear clothes,
and eat something even if the barroom is
closed.
There has not been a murder IN
Alachua county since she went dry, and
l do not remember period of four
monts before in which some ono was not
killed.
Acting Marshal Cromwell, most eff
6cient officer, did not make an arrest
while Marshal Pinkoson was away,
period Of almost one month. Crime is
fast disappearing, There is more peace
IN some Of our homes than when the sa-
loon was In the saddle. Our school has
several pupils who were sent here because
there are no saloons. Several families
have moved in to get educational adj
vautages.
Hurrah for Live Oak Hurrah for
GainesvilIel Hurrah for all the towns,
Arcadia, Barlow, Lakeland, Jasper, Chip
ley, and others which the closing of the
saloons have killed.
