A Prohibitionist Attracts Crow ds

A little variety was thrown into
affairs on Mill street Saturday night
by the appearance of a Prohibition
speaker, who employed very practical
and effective methods Cf attracting n
crowd
The speaker was Rev. Vernon Har-
ington. of Valparaiso, Ind, who, ac-
companied by his wife, arrived in
town during the day. During the af-
ternoon a boy carrying banner iDvit-
ed the crowds to meet at Mill and
Bloom streets in the evening where
they would be entertained with songs
and the like.
AT the appointed time one of the
biggest crowds that ever assembled at
Mill and Bloom streets was on hand
and so were the entertainers-ReV
Vernon Harrington and his wife. For
all around entertainment the occasion
was never surpassed. The speaker him
self was first class singer and all the
selections were airy and catchy, Just
the kind to attract people in passing.
The lady rendered a couple of recita-
tions with exceptionally good effect.
The prohibition address itself, al
though interrupted at intervals by the
singing, etc, was one of the spright-
liest and probably one of the best ever
delivered in Danville and proved quite
as entertaining to the crowd as the
other features. An audience of several
hundred people was present during
the evening.

THE FESTIVAL
Of ALL SAINTS

Wednesday the 81 of this month will
be celebrated in many parts of the I'M
iverse as Halloween, the vigil of
Hallowmas or All Saints Day. Though
sometimes neglected in modern prac-
tice, the most essential part of the
Halloween ritual seems to consist in
the lighting by each household of
a bonfire or candles at nightfall. This
points to the very ancient and widely
diffused practice of kindling sacred
fires at certain seasons of the year as
practiced by the Germanic and Celtic
nations.
The feast of All Saints originated in
the year 6l0, when Pope Boniface ~
