The Good Old Drinkers.

Vhe GOOD OId DrfnkerS.
Black Greek, La, Jan. II, 1906.
Editor Collar Chronicle:
This is my first time to write to
any paper on any subject, but l
want to give expression to my ideas
on the matter of open saloons.
After thoroughly considering the
subject, / am heartily with the
large number of my fellow citizens
who are SO bitterly opposed to the
licensing of the sale of whisky in
our parish. 1t would be an out
rage on the good people of Grant
to be imposed upon just to crafty
few whisky sellers and a good
many bum drinkers. It would be
shame and a disgrace to the
christians of the community who
wantlto see the rising generation
elevated and the whole country
made better. With saloons open
ct our doors all would be bedlam,
for every fair and right thinking
man knows that open saloons are a
curse and degrading to any coun-
try. The open saloon will not re-
form those who are hell bent for
whisky. . -.
We have a good many young
men in our country that will be an
honor TO IL If they pursue their
present sober and upright course,
but with open saloons at onr doors
they may be enticed TO-. go into
them by some of our good(!) old
moderate dram drinkers, who claim
there is no harm in a drink of whis-
Ky Some of. these fellows IRE
.good(!) Baptists, and some times
.goodt y old deacons of the church,
yet by their influence and example
the young men can be led into the
evil Of drinking, rowdying, gam
bling, fighting, and all the train
of wrong doing and trouble that
follows the-frst step in evil paths.
Fathers and mothers will have sor-
row and pain brought info their
lives, but the open saloon will not
help or reform anybody, can have
no infaence except for evil, and
evil only. .s 1920.
y Now, some say the prosecution
Of whisky sellers is bankrupting
the parish. Let it be bankrupt.
The parish had better go to the
wall with its finances than for our
boys and neighbors to be sold out
and put under a hellish influence
just for the sake Of a few dollars.
Now, I will say that any one that
will vote for open saloons is not a
friend to the cause of Christ or his
teachings. Christ said, ''he that is
not for me is against me-" To
vote for the open saloon will be
against God and in favor of the
devil and his institutions. May
God help all to fight the whisky
traffic as / have done since 1896.
i have not drunk one drop, and
have bought only 65 cents worth,
and Is cents of that was for horse
and the other was for medicine,
and none of it did the horse or me
or anybody else any good l am
against it. May the good Lord
take hold of our voters and use
them in voting down this curse,
and may the good of the people be
built upon the ruins thereof.
