drunkenness and other crimes ir
Atlanta? refer you to the dock.
ct of the police court for the first
four months of 1907, when the
saloons were with US and the frs,
four months in 1908, when the
saloons were absent. I simply give
the figures. AS Daniel Webster
said of Massachusetts, "There she
stands, she speaks for herself"
Number of cases tried for the
first four months of 1907 6.O5e
Number Of cases tried for the
first four months of 1908 3,139
Showing a decrease during -
prohibition of 2,917
Number of "drunks" for the
first four months 1907 1856
Number of "drunks" for the
first four months of 1908 All
Showing a decrease during -
prohibition of 1884
cases of drunkenness in four
months.
And yet there are many people
who know nothing of the facts,
running up and down the state
and yelling at the top of their
voices that "prohibition does not
prohibit"
Yes, these dry, inanimate fig
ures speak to those who listen a
wondrous story. They tell of
hundreds, yes, of thousands, Of
faithful wives into whose pale and
wan face the roses are beginning
to bloom AGAIN. They tell of
hundreds, yes, of thousands, of
little children who no longer pale
and tremble at the sound of their
fathers footsteps upon the thres
hold of their humble homes.
They tell of hundreds, yes, of
thousands, of long suffering and
devoted mothers who no longer
sit late into the night waiting and
praying for their wandering boy,
but now with her boy safe with
her at home. there Is new light in
her patient eyes, and a new song
in her devoted heart, and what
song could it be but that grand
old hymn, "Praise God from
Whom All Blessings Flow?"-At-

Pay Cash for Meat and Save Money,

On October I we will begin selling on a strictly cash basis. Nothing will be charged to any body. Those who do not wish to pay for each purchase may buy coupon books good for s or $ ill meat, and a discount of ten per cent will be made, mak- ing the books cost $2.7o and s. 50. Unused portions of these books will be redeemed in cash.
 The credit system has proved a failure and is just as bad for the consumer as for the dealer. By selling strictly for cash we expect to be able to furnish bet ter goods and to save money fer our customers. Ne hope this action will meet the approval of our customers and we assure them that every body will be treated exactly alike, no excep- tious being made to this rule. dtf
