Carrie Nation.
Hickory Democrat.)

ilCt lCNCuiOo III VVSiOJ wa S~O
dist church Of Hickory last Fri
day. A fairly good sized audience
greeted her at the first lecture,
but at the second performance
the crowd was small. Mrs. Ma
tion is sixty-one years old and is
well preserved. She has an attrac
tive face and impresses one most
favorably. She told part OF her
history. She was born in the
South and has been twice mar
ried. Her first husband died a
drunkard and she knows what it
is to be O druukard's wife and q
drunkard's widow.
Her second husband sought
and secured a divorce from her
because she would not give up
her work OF smashing saloons.
She claims to be called of God
for this special work; that she has
seen visions and that the proph-
ct Isaiah had her in mind when
uttering certain prophecies. She
is a fanatic.
Her first lecture was on the ide-
al woman and contained many
wise suggestions for the young
girls and mothers. She warned
the young girls against tight la
cling and her tribute to mother
hood was fine. At night she told
how she smashed aud why she
smashed. She was severe on coca
cola and cigarettes as well as
Hickory. She praised Hickory Tor
the stand taken on the prohibi-
tion question, but said that We
| had some sneaks around here who
were hauling the accursed stuff
around in their buggies and sell
ling IL. We do not know who had
been telling Carrie tales, or wheth
er she just jumped ut that con.
clusion.
She praised Governor Glenn
and said that she hoped the peo-
pie would send him to the United
States Senate; that just such q
man as he is was needed in Wash
ington. The Republican and Demo
cratic parties received respectful
attention at her hands and thu
