SUNDAY WORK BY !
REV. SAM SMALL
TWO SERMONS AND ADDRESS
ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO LIB
ERTY AND STORY ABOUT
RAZOR BACK HOG.

Rev. Sam Small again drew large
audiences in his talks yesterday, boti
al the Cairo Baptist church and al
the court house. His sermons at the
lchurch were effective as eXhortations
OF pleas for repentance. He has done
a successful work in the church dur
| ing the last two weeas.
AT the court house yesterday after
noon he had a men meeting. There
were three or -four hundred men pres
ent* all the seating room being taken.
There were considerable delegations
| from neighboring towns. Mounds
Mound City and even Grand Chain
sent a strong delegation. The latter
were here to secure MIR. Small for a
lecture in their city this week, and he
has consented to go.
Mr.. Small spoke on Prohibition. He
began his address with an eloquent
tribute TO Thomas Jefferson, the Dec
laration of Independence, and Liberty
He said the liberty guaranteed and
enjoyed in this country should be
used in the right manner in order
that good might follow.
On the subject - Prohibition in
Cairo he Urged men to vote right
next April. He expected to help
things along by publis. ing paper
a little bit of thing only four pages
Of six columns but 1t would be "as
hot as the business end of hornet.
Ii would make its first appearance to
day.
He related an incident which came
under his observation yesterday. Two
kentuckians who tried to get int
one of the saloons on Ohio street and
found the doors locked. He said II /
reminded him of an old razor backed
hog that had been accustomed TO
through crooked hollow
log that lay under a farmers fence and
getting all the corn he wanted When
the farmers dog chased him he
would disappear through the log and
couldn't be found. One day the far
mer discovered the log and turned ii
OF that bptU tulS WITT w Ltit
fence When the old razor bach
came along and diyed into one end
Of the log and out "a. the other, and
still found himself outside the corn
field he didn't know what to make of
it, He Owed into the log and out |
again several times before he realized |
that his game had reea spoiled. That |
was the way with the fellows who
had been IN the habit Of coming to
Cairo for Sunday booze. They would
dart into the old log" as usual and
would wonder what was the matter
when they got out at the other end. |
1t would be some time before all Of |
them understood that the log had |
been turned.
Mr.. Small felt sure the saloons
would be voted out. of Cairo in April.
