the voters Of old Crittenden make to
this question on Dec. eth? We shall
wait and see.
5. A great deal is being said in these
days Of ours upon the subject Of pa
triotism or love for home and country.
For this our statesmen and politicians
make great pretentions and for this
many Of our noblest and best men will
quit the home Of their loved ones and
go the front Of the battle in order to
defend the honor Of their home and
country. Now il seems to many Of US
that the most patriotic question today
before the people Of Kentucky in gen
eral. and in Crittenden county in Iar-
ticular. is that Of local option This
being the case. is not this a most suit
able time for every good citizen Of the
county TO show their patriotism by go

eember and voting against the saloon

II seems so to US. Respectfully.

LOCALOPTION ELECTION
To Be Held In CrIitenden County on
December 7, 1906.

To the Voters Of Crittenden County:
Public notice has been given that on
Friday, December Z. 1906. local OPP
ton election will be held in our county.
On that day the people Of this county
shall say by their votes whether the
saloon shall remain here and continue
its evil work or whether il shall be
driven from US. That drunkenness is a
great evil and curse is not questioned,
and that the saloon contributes to this
evil can not be doubted by the most
casual observer. The saloon is against
the home, the school, the church and
the moral and religious welfare Of the
people. Shall We keep il with US to do
such work and commit such evil? The
good people Of Crittenden county must
say on December I.
We believe the great majority Of our
people are opposed to the saloon and
the whisky traffic; therefore let them
come out on the above mentioned day
and record their votes against them.
About 81 Of the lls counties Of our
fair state. besides districts in the coun.
ties are under local option. not less than
thirteen having gone dry" in the past
three months. Let good old Crittende1
add another to the honored list. But
recently our neighbor. Union county,
gave Overcome thousand majority for the
local option law. Let US do likewise.

Is Prohibition JustiIlable?

The question Of prohibition involves

any form Of prohibition is founded on

While It's avowed object is TO pre-
vent intemperance. prohibition does
not aim its restrictions ~ the intern

this because the number Of sellers is
comparatively small. II does not dare
TO attack openly the buyers or users be-
,ause they would resent the interfer.

DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE.

Pensacola, Dec. Is, 1906.
Editor Pensacola Journal: / see
the Board of Public Works are in
trouble about garbage. 1t is time
they should be, The whole business
has been q nuisance for years.
l neither know aor claim to know
much about the business, but 1 will
suggest the following way to get rid
of garbage: 80 - -.
The first thing is for the council to
pass an ordinance to have garbage al.
ylded into three classes. by the people
that put garbage on the streets or
have hauled. from, their houses, the
first class to, contain all meats, slops
and vegetables, the second class to
contain. all cans, iron, earthen ware
and things that win not burn, and
the third class to contain wood,
grasses, weeds, paper and rags.
The first class the city can dispose
of with profit, instead Of an expense,
by buying farm few miles in the
country, feeding this garbage to hogs
and chickens and raising vegetables
with the manure produced.
The second class can be broken I'D
and fiattened out and used as a foun-
dalton in paving the streets.
The third class could be used as
fuel to make steam to run the ma
chine to break up and fatten the
second class. -
In this way the garbage will at
least pay all expense of moving, with.
none of the present friction. Crema-
ton OF garbage is or should be out
Of date.
Paper and rags might be used to
make paper.

The Jacksonville Floridian thinks
the defeat of the drainage amendment
was more in the nature of a rebuke
10 Governor Broward than an express
sion of disapproval of the drainage
scheme but the Milton Star thinks
Just the other way and solves the
matter In this way:
Governor Broward, as some see
MIN, is the most popular man the
state ever had. The latest figuring
over the matter. as done by some of
our prominent thinkers, is this: The
people OF Florida have always been
opposed TO the governors drainage
scheme, but heartily in favor of the
governor. And notwithstanding the
fact that he ran on a platform that
the people opposed, and that his on
ponents were some of the ablest men
IN Florida. the people made him gov
ernor. and reserved their vote on
drainage till the last election inst to
show the governor that they wanted
him and not drainage.
