ANNIVERSARY.

The Mt. Sterling Business Mems
Club will be a year old on Sep
TENDER Bird, next, and at the regu
lar September meeting of the
Club, officers to serve for the en-
suing year will be elected. No one
will be allowed to vote whose due;
are not paid on or before that date
As every one knows, the Club
has been a great benefit to our city
and county. 1t has organized q
first-class Building and Savings
Association, which is doing good
work for our people. 1t has been
the sole cause of installing free
delivery in our city. 1t has also
rendered very material aid in Sc
curing an appropriation for a Post
Office building in Mt. Sterling. 1t
has entertained numerous men and
clubs who came to our city on
business of a public nature and &C
complished many other things un-
necessary to mention. The enter
tainment of visitors spoken of is
alone worth to our county the
money expended. 1t now has 1O1
paid-up members and all the work
done has been accomplished with
the $5O5. 90 thus raised. Owe still
have over $4,000 in treasury
One of the questions that will
come up for the consideration of
the Club at the September meeting
will be whether the membership
fee shall be increased to $1,000 per
year, or whether it shall remain as
it is $500 per year, and an effort
be made to increase the member
ship to 200.

PEOPLE NEED TO THINK

The more we can make our peo-
pie think on the liquor question,
the more likely we are in the end
to have good and sane legislation.
1t is difficult for us to maintain
that we are a temperate people
when the drink bill of the nation
constantly rises and when, as some
one has pointed out, this liquor is
certainly drunk by somebody.
Now the most ardent advocate of
personal liberty must admit that
our hope as a nation lies in tenn
perate and not an Incorporate peo-
pie. Though we may not believe
prohibition a practicable and fea-
sible measure, though we may be
opposed to it in principle, we should
acknowledge that the public educa-
ton on the liquor question has
been carried forward by the Pro
hibition people and that to them
the community owes a great debt,
even though their work at times
may result in laws so strict as not
to be upheld by public opinion and
that really set back the cause.
The local option principle is one
which it seems to me no sane per-
son can object to. 1t is merely the
Democratic principle of home rule,
and just as we Iced two parties in
Democratic government of things,
so we need the enthusiastic social
agitatOrs of the prohibition side to
offset the silent but never sleeping
ranks of the liquor Inen whose
self-interest keeps them always on
the alert.
The above is an extract from a
letter to the Lexington Herald of
Sunday. The readers of our paper
know the attitude of the writer on
the temperance question. Whether
the results secured are due to Pro-
hibitiOnists, Democrats or Repub-
iicans, we rejoice in their accom-
plishment. We are pleased to
contribute our efforts to the sup
preston of the legalized saloon.
