NO-LICENsE COLUMN


Bv courtesy of the Herald-Advance,
this column will be devoted to matters
of interest to the temperance voters of
Milbank, and the full responsibility
for everything that appears here il
cheerfully assumed by the writer. He
desires it to be understood that neither
the Congreg atiOnal church or the No
License league is in any way respon.
sible, and if blame or criticism at
taches to aught that is recorded here
it belongs entirely to him.
Publicity will be the main purpose,
and a frankness which may be annoy
ing to some, will be the method used.
A spade will be called spade and
cold facts will be recorded which may
produce heat in some quarters.
But "facts are Stubborn things
and are very needful at time like
this. If there is anything in this
column during this month that you do
not like, don't hesitate to tell
the writer-it will be sure to amuse
him; providing you do not swear.
SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW
The saloon is here and one of the
first questions we have right to ask
is, who are the parties most respon-
sible for its presence? A few men are
so far lost to shame that they are,will-
ing to make a living for themselves
and families by engaging in a bust
ness that even an Ingersoll has called
"God's worst enemy and the DEVILS
best friend" A business which cor
rupts the town without adding any
thing to it's worth, which damns the
weakest of its citizens and inflcts un-
told misery on their dependent
families; which debauches it's young
men and demoralizes everything that
comes within the range Of its influ-
ence, q business which "is evil, only
evil, and that continually" For this
privilege they are willing to pay one
thousand dollars each per year: but in
order to secure that right each man
must get goodly number of free
holders and citizens of Milbank. Our
five saloon-keepers could not get this
privilege without the signatures of
these men. Next to the saloon-keepers
themselves, the responsibility rests
upon the men who thus stand back of
them.

Save Your Ewes

Every fifth person we meet now
wears glasses.
Nervous diseases never were so
prevalent. Why?
Because "eye strain" the curse
OF this age of printing, is the great
and growing cause of nerve-tire,
brain-strain, nervous headaches,
nervous dyspepsia and mental de-
preston. Eye strain" is almost
entirely due to excessive reading.
Let me fit you with the right kind
of glasses.

Unappropriated Lands.

There is a balance of unappropri-
ated lands granted by the government
for educational and charitable pur-
poses amounting to about 25,000 acres.
They are the culls of the selections
and not very valuable, but they have
long been bone Of contention. Two
years ago an attempt to give them to
Yankton asylum failed Watertown
tried 10 get them this year and failed.
A bill is pending in the senate to
grant them to the university. The
house committee on appropriations
thinks it has found happy solution
of the controversy by a bill placing
them under the direction of the board
OF regents for the maintenance Of ag.
rfcultural experiment stations other
than the main station at Brookings.
The bill passed the house, with some
opposition. The senate seems favor
able to the plan. So long as the land
remains unappropriated it is tempta-
tion to set up new establishments.
Agricultural experiment stations in
he region west of the Missouri will
De OF the HTSl dlupOllduco III ueVSlOp-
ing that region and the plan to endow
| them with land isswise.
The failure of the good roads bill
has brought out of the committee on
county and county affairs a substitute
somewhat modelled after the big bill
providing for payment Of road taxes
in cash and doing the work by con
tract in townships, under the direction
of the supervisors. 1t is local op-
tion measure and may be put in effect

and will afford means for the alb.

The Courier is daily in receipt Of
requests for sample copies OF this
paper from eastern parties who
contemplate coming this way to
seek out a home plaoe and it affords
us mach pleasure to thus do our part
in helping bring desirable residents
into this fair city and excellent sur.
rounding country. In this connection
il might not be amiss for us to drop
a hint to our business men in the
matter of suggesting that a paper
which is filled with large and at.
traotve advertisements gives a most
pleasing impression to the man who
is "si2ing up" any comrunity. And
what is more, the better advertising
patronage we receive, the more credit.
able paper are we enabled to publish.
There can be no denying the fact that
any locality is judged by the kind of
newspapers it supports. II they are
newsy, bright and up-,o-date, then
the outsider can form but one con.
clusion., and that is to the effect that
the community is thriving and that
its people are prosperous and progress
i've. while just the reverse conclusion
is formed if the papers are poor.

NOW for the big fair.

What's TO hinder Grants Pass from
having permanent exhibit at the
depot grounds, just as Ashland and
Medford have? We are In the famous
fruit belt and. what Is more, We have
many other resources. TOO. There is
no way Of even beginning to estimate
the reaching influence such an
exhibit would have. II would GER
tainly be most judioious advertising
and that is Just what we need in
order TO get our share Of the large
number Of newcomers who will soon

reason Of the exceedingly low rates Of
travel afforded by the railroad.
Think this matter over and IL the
idea strikes you favorably. talk II
up with your neighbor and thus create
some sentiment in favor of such an
enterprise and then the rest will be
easy enough.
All the indications seem TO point
to very prosperous year for the
people who are fortunate enough to
have their lots cast in this favored
spot Rogue River has been gaining
an enviable reputation all over the
western slope, rs well as throughout
the eastern states and II those people
back there only realized just what
they were missing, they would most
certainly be leaving no stone unturned
to make it possible for them TO come
this way to cast in their lots with us.
Certain it is that we have the climate.

Mrs. Nellie Mcdonald, wife OF
Hugh Mcdonald, died of .consump-
ton at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Clinton Caihcott, at Pleasant Hill
last Sunday, Feb. 3, 1907.
Mrs. Mcdonald lived at home
near Polk, but had removed to Mr..

1.-THE burning of her residence last
|fall. She was the youngest daugh-
ter of the late Jas. r. KMtchell of
lRiyes and had been married ABOUT
ten years or more, leaving daugh-
ter about 8 years old.
Mrs. McDonald was tnember of
the church. and pure, consecrated
christian woman. She belonged to
family kuown and esteemed for
0heir worth, character and intelli-
gence, and many there are who
sympathize deeply with the .bereav-
81 in their affection.

| In The Obion Democrat of Feb
1 4, | noticed statement supposed
4 to have been made and sworn to BY
my former partner, Mr.. d. o. Alien.
While / see no reason why he should
|masie public statement Of his pri-
vate business affairs at all, but since
one has been published, would like
to make few corrections where /
am concerned.
En'the first place the amount FIRST
invested was very much less than
the one mentioned,
lin this statement it says that 4
scld my interest IN the drug busi-
nese to Or. Mailing without his
knowledge or consent. This Mr..
Allen certainly must have over
locked, as he was the first one to
Suggest to me that DR.. Mailbag
might buy my interest, and that be
and Dr. Mailing had been talking
over the matter before it was mem-
toned to me.
q further state tstat Mr.. Allen was
perfectly satisfied and encouraged
me to sell to DR.. Mailing. Had ita
not been satisfactory to Mr.. AlleH
| wO@ld not have sold to DIR. Nail
ling, or to any one else without his
consent
So Car as DR.. Mailing or Mr.. Allen
not being on good terms, will say i
that saw nothing dariag my stay
ia Union City, nor afterwards, that
suggested anything bat that they
were the best of friends.
Will farther state that no un-
existed between Mr..
Allen and nses and that he had I'M
restricted access at all times to any
and all parts of our partnership

when he sigued the affidavit.

DR.. Smith Parks.

4 DR.. Smith Parks, one of the coun
tvs best men, died at his home neal
Obion Saturday morning, Feb 2
1907. Mr. Parks was a sufferer for
many years with indigestion and
kindred complaints. In fact he was
almost an invalid for many months
prior TO his death. He was II years
of age and probably mis- longevity
was IN great measure due to the
lcare he took of himself
4 DIR. Parks was the son of Rev.
Hamilton Parks, noted Cumber-
land Presbyterian misaister. He was
born in Dyer County, gan. IL, 1887,
and moved to Obion west of Glass
March % 1864, moving to the farm
between Glass and Obicn. where his
death took place. Oct H3. 1867.
On MAY /, 1866, Or. Parks was
united in marriage TO Miss Ruth
Staruett, bis first wife. TO them
three children we're born, only one
of whom, our fellow-townsman
Lexie Sparks, survives. MRS. Parks
died March z. 1886. On Oct. E, | 887.
Mrs. EN-. Board became the second
wife of OR. Parks. She was id her
eirlhood Miss Woods aud aativeof
Virginia.
DR.. Parks was medical student
ia Louisville in the sixties. He was
nnan of strong intellect and char i
acter, aad these were developed |
with the highest attainments. His
life was a positive influence in the
welfare of his fellow-being morally
and socially.
Dr. Parks became convert to
the Christian religion at an early
age, and was member of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church at
Glass when he died.
Ten orphan children found home
in the Parks household. and that
key to the character of
the good man.
His death removes an interesting
character and an extraordinary man !
rom the walks Of life. He was |
pioneer and an important factor in
he early development of the coun- !
y.
So passes useful man and a /
worthy example to the living gem I,
