TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Whereas it has pleased Almighty
God in his infinite wisdom to remove
from our companionship, and one dear
to our heart, our aged and dearly be-
loved brother, George w. Johnston,
who departed this life the 9Th day of
July, 1905, therefore be it
Resolved, that in his death Cato
Lodge No. $50 has been bereft Of a
worthy mem Der, the church faith
full and jealous worker, the commun-
ity good and upright citizen, his
children kind, affectionate and low
ing father.
Resolved, that as children Of the
most high God, we bow submissively
to the will Of Him who doeth all
things we'll, and trust that our loss
is the infinite gain of our deceased
brother; yet we herein express our
sincere SORROW on account OF his de-
parture, and commend to record this,
our last testimonial of respect and re-
gard for his memory and associations
with us. Though like our dear de-
ceased brother, we shall soon be
clothed in the habiliment of death
and our frail bodies deposited in the
cold and icy grave; yet through our
belief in the mercy of God, we may
confidently hope to meet him in the
sweet by and by, and that our souls
will bloom together in eternal spring.
Resolved, that we tender to his
bereaved family our heartfelt SYM
pathy on &c count of their loss, and re-
quest that these resolutions be printed
in the Br andon News and Simpson
County News, and copy OF each be
sent to t he members of his family,
and the same be spread on our min
utes.

prevailing antagonist of clergyman

turns to ridicule our Christian civil
ization. 1t depresses, paralysis, and
blights legitimate trade and business.
1t makes the millions become poor,
while it makes the distiller and brew
er grow richer. It is more destructive
to golden grain, which should be food
for the people, than all the myriads of
destructive insects. It is the cause of
ninety.five per cent of pauperism for
which heavy taxes have to be paid.
1t makes almost all of the business for
the criminal courts 1t is itself the
gigantic crime of crimes. It requires
an army of police to deal with only a
part of it's terrible effects, and it &C.
casionally demoralizes part of the po-
lice also. 1t fills the jails, lunatic
asylums, and poorhouses; it provides
work for the hangman. The GENE
teries are crowded with its victims
1t wrecks many home, and drives
whole families into degradation am

THE FOE AND HOW TO FIGHT
HIM.
By J. r. NOVEL;.

The whole system of the Iiauo.
traffic is based on superstition it ha
nothing modern about it, nothin,
intellectual, nothing elevating or re
timing. The drinking customs of so
ciety had their birth in the dark ano
misty past. They are hoary headed
with superstition and moss covered
with rank old age. They come tc
us in the legends Of the dim ages OF
long ago, and not through the educa.
ted and intelligent mind and thought
OF the race. They are rerpetuated
in the depraved lusts of debased
humanity. These pernicious customs
are the survival of that paganism
which delighted in the worship of the
deviI-gods.
Christian America glorifes and
raises to the level of diety the two
most depreaved and beastly of heather
gods-Bacohus, the god of wine, and
Gambrinus, the god of beer. She
erects her temples to these. and pours
into their Golfers annually one hun
dred and sixty million sovereigns, or
about hundred times as much as is
raised for foreign missions. We ask
for protecting powers against this
devil worship, and are told that 'the
people are not sufficiently educated for
such power.
Cowatds in all ranks Of society ex-
claim, "You reformers are going too
fast" And yet every interest of
home and humanity, of country and
civilization. demand instant and i'm
mediate action. The children of our
rade are day by day growing nearer to
the days when, launched into the bat
tie of life, they will meet in our
streets those temptations of the liquor
traffic which are powerful to degrade,
debase and dehumanise. We are
counseled by so-called friends mot to
be in hurry" How many more
hearts are to be brokenf How many
more children are to be brutality ILL
