CARRIE NATION SPOKE TO
LARGE AUDIENCES HERE
Made Her Usual Sensational Attacks on
Liquor, Lodges and Other Things
Too Numerous to Mention.

Mrs. Carrie A. Nation, of Kansas
City, Kan, who is known all over this
country as temperance advocate, not
so much for eloquence in speech as for
her sensational methods, was the at
traction at ParkTheatre last Thursday
evening and Friday afternoon. AT least
1,200 people were at the Park Theatre
Thursday night to see and hear Carrie.
More people were there through cur
iosity than for any other reason. Mrs.
Nation is full of surprises and her pun
gent phrases equal the discourses of the
late Sam Jones or Evangelist Billy Sun
day. She is still full of fire and energy,
her voice is clear and rather pleasing
and she is seldom at loss for words.
Mrs. Nations methods are too sensa-
tional to accomplish the good she might
do In the temperance work If she was
more conservative. Her abuse of lodges
and churches does not help the cause
she advocates. Her autobiography and
little hatchets were on sale after the
lecture.
Mrs. Nation visited a couple of places
in town Friday and gave the proprie-
tors "piece Of her mind" and a num-
ber of men and boys, whom she met on
the streets with cigars or cigarettes in
their mouth. were given "free lectures',
in no mild terms. Mrs. Nation expects
to return to Reynoldsville in Septem-
ber. She was the guest Of Mrs. E l..
Evans while in our town.
