A Prohibitionist Attracts Grow 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 a
crowd.
The speaker was Rev Vernon Har-
ington, of Valparaiso, Ind who, ac-
companied by his wife, arrived in
town during the day Daring the af-
ternOOn boy carrying banner iDyit-
ed the crowds to meet at Mill and
Bloom streets i'll 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 cutcrtainers-Rer.
Vernon Harrington and his wife. For
all around entertainment the occasion
was never surpassed. The speaker him
self was a first class singer and all the
selections were airy and catchy, just
the kind TO attract people in passing.
The lady rendered 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-
lest and probably one of the best ever
delivered i'll Danville and proved quite
As entertaining to the crowd as the
other features. An audience of several
hundred people was present during
the evening

MONTOUR RIDGE
RESPLENDGNT

Within a few days past the landscape
has blOssomed forth into fairyland
The hues of crimson, and gold clOthe
grove and mountain side and the
streets of town where shade abounds be
come long vistas oyerarChed with
autumnal glory.
Montour Ridge never appeared more
resplendent. Here are seen all the rare
warm colors Of the American forest at
autumn, among which appear III pleas
ing contrast the emerald hues of the
spruce and pine. 1t is a picture that is
repeated over and over, wherever the
mountains bear aloft their dense robe
of foliage and the valleys sleep under
the shade of grove and forest.
This is the time to travel abroad

means viii not permit, to make little

and ugliness and lift its plodding mass
of humanity into realms akin to dream
land.
The glory that earth has taken on
will be short-lived. The leaves, Grim
son and gold today, will be russell to-
morrow, or next week. During the
cold rains of early November they
will be torn from the branches and be
driven before the merciless blast into
the lonely and by places of earth, while
the stately trees now clothed with
autumnal loveliness, will stand like
spectres with their naked branches out
lined against the leaden winter sky.

New York. Dec. 16.-Henry Clews
letter on financial matters says in
part:
Outside conditions continue fav-
orable and the outlook for the COM
ing year is satisfactory The chief
trouble in the financial world is the
exhaustion of lonable funds: first, by
an over-expansion- of credit: and sec
ond, by the high prices which quick
ly use UP funds and diminish the
loaning power of our lending institu-
tons. 1t takes a larger amount of
money than formerly TO carry stocks
and commodities; hence, in spite of
the larger supply of currency and
gold, our monetary resources are in
adequate. An elastic currenSy is
highly desirable, but not cure for
present conditions.
There is no reason for lack of con-
fidence in the general situation,
though stock market operations
should be governed by exceptional
caution until the money market
rights itself. If that is not soon ac-
complished signals of caution Will be
followed by signals of distress. Con-
siderable declines have already taken
place and in the absence of unfavor-
able developments temporary rallies
must be expected.
