time that the sun about sets and rises
upon his farm. He has no breadth OF
view. knows little OF what In going on
around him. sticks to old-fashioned
plans that should be obsolete and suf-
fers accordingly. II he would but get
out and look at the work OF his neigh
Dor farmer and with unbiated eyes he
would learn many a valuable and prof.
table lesson.
One In always better for mixing with
his neiEhbors. investigating neiGhbor-
hood conditions. the plans and prac-
tices of other men and learning the
new ideas that originate here and
there. but seldom on the sinGle farm.

his own old way for a lifetime. Get

SPLENDID VICTORY
FOR PROHIBITION.
MARION COUNTY REPUDIATES The GREAT
MORAL INSTITUTION.

MARION, September l9.-Spec-
ial: The election held on the
question of removing the dis
pensary from Marion county re-
suited in overwhelming victory
for the prohibitionists. 1t was
generally thought that the dis
pensary would be voted out OF
the county, but the most san
guine prohibitionists did not
dream that their victory would
be so decided. Everywhere the
election passed off quietly, and
it is probable that when all the
polls are heard from the result
will be about t or > to ! against
the dispensary. So far fourteen
polls have been heard from, Civ
ing total of 992 votes against
the dispensary and III votes
for the dispensary.-News &

give prohibition 4 trial. Why
what is the use? 1t has been
tried often and found wanting
and the experiment is 100 eX-
pensive, when Judging tie fu-
ture by the past, We may expect
nothing but defeat. Before the
dispensaries you haa in the
country two and three months
schools, and the teachers COM
PEELED to discount their pay GER
tifcates at 10 per cent; the same
with your jurors, witnesses, and
and persons having c m S
against your county. Since the
dispensary all this is changed
and your county is on a cash
basis. 1t gets, so I am informed
$4,000 from the dispensary.
Now with prohibition you lose
all of this and have got to make
it up by additional taxation, or
allow your roads and bridges to
decay, your schools to go back
to two months in the year, and
your officers to lose ten per cent
of their pay or wait a whole
year for it. This is a pretty
heavy loss. Will the profits from
prohibition Offset it? Let every
man answer for himself. In our
opinion it will not, and so far as
the use of liquor is concerned
think you will find if you get
prohibition that you have jump
ed from tse frying pan into the
fire. W F CLAYTON.
