ton.
Henry Myers and wife, for
merly of this vicinity, now of
Boone county, Neb., are here
visiting among relatives and
friends.
The bunker Brethren are hold
ing revival services at Oakland
church, north from here about
three miles.
On the first of next month
Rev. M. May will be installed as
pastor of our Presbyterian church
Rev. C. Fulkerson closed his
first conference year as pastor OF
our M. E. church. He starts for
conference tomorrow at Van
Vert.
Petitions are in circulation for
signatures to have an election
under the Rose county local op-
ton law. This seems to test the
courage of some of our people.
There are those who fear to show
their colors for fear it might
work disastrously upon their bu-
siness or friendship. Doubtless
those fellows think it all right
for the other fellow to take the
brunt in such cases, and suffer
the odium of the saloon support
ers. If odium must be incurred
the question may be asked is one
person better than another?
Should certain persons, to the
exemption of others, escape such
odium, if odium it be? Would II
not be we'll that common cause
be made of this business, and al
sign and make the call for cleo
ton as unanimous as possible
and overawe the opposition
Should those who refuse to sig1
for fear, not fear the dry ele
ment just as much as the wet
1t seems to me that those fear
full persons ought to fear the on
party as much as the other, I'm
} less they concede that the one i
more brutal and to be feare'
more than the other. Let ther
be no hesitancy about doing right
Let right prevail, though tn
heavens fall. Fear not, the NOR
) righteousness is done the les
heaven will fall.
For some time past some OF ou
! citizens have been receiving dot
uments and leaflets presumabl
from the Personal Liberty Leagu
of this county without signatu1
to identify their source, frol
which it may be suspected tn;
those fellows are as cOwardly
are some of our dry fellows WI
refuse to sign petitions for a
election. 1t seems this is a fral
: ty of human nature, but the la
: ter class are not so much
blame, for they are arrayir
themselves in support of a bs
Ie cause and for that reason ougI
T. to take to cover so as not to
known. Crime makes cowar
