Cutting 1t Out.

The Paris Appeal said last week:
Stoutsville now has only one
saloon. John S. Backman's IL
cense expired last week aud he did
not ask for a renewal. The fact
that there is not sufficient drinking
to support two saloons speaks so
we'll for the town that most OF the
citizens are sorry there is enough
to keep one. Public sentiment
has effected a mighty change in
this line in the last few years. In
many townships no liquor can be
bought at all and very little would
be bought if it were for sale.
Young men are fast learning that
it is both improbable and dis
graceful to drink, and old men
who once took their toddy regular
ly at home or abroad have cut it
out because it is q bad example TO
the younger generation. Practi.
cally all of the drinking is confined
to the shiftless, thriftless class Of
men who waste their means in the
bar rooms and permit their fsmi.

When bells Of earth are for them tolled.

And tell the story saved by grace"
Where e'er we go, the churches spires
Point upward 70 heavenly dome;
Our hearts oft yearn with wild desires
For a sweet rest in Gods dear home.
''There we shall see Him face 10 face

Well sing for them RedemptIon's song,
