FIGHT
NOW ON IN EARNEST

The Anti-Saloon campaign opened in
earnest in Fort Pierce Tuesday evening
with a forceful, logical and stirring
address by Rev. Thos. j. Noteworthy,
of jacksonville, in the Improvement
club hall. -.
Mr.. Noteworthy has been engaged in
similar work for years, and has assist
ed in closing the saloons in many coun-
ties of Alabama. louisiana, Georgia and
Florida. He has great interest in
helping every county to rid themselves
of this monster evils, as the record
of his own family for three generations
will furnish facts enough to argue this
question for months.
Aside from the moral and religious
standpoints, which every Christian
man must heed, he deals out convincing
arguments and sworn statements from
the county officers and business men OF
Live Oak, Lake City, Lakeland, Bar
tow, Gainesville, Tallahassee, Madison
and High Springs, showing that since
the closing of the saloons business In
every line has greatly improved, taxes
have been decreased. property has beer
enhanced in value, crime and pauper'
SIN has decreased, and general moral
and material advancement is evident or
every hand.
Mr.. Noteworthy delivered lecture
at White City last evening, and viii
address the people at Jensen tonight
and will again speak in the town hall il
Fort Pierce tomorrow night.
