ELIOT JOINS TEMPERANCE FORCES.

In an aggressive speech delivered in
Boston lately, President Eliot of
Harvard University advocated ID pol
icy of no license and thus indicates
his conversion to the cause of prOhi
bition. He has been a moderate
drinker all of his life, but has lately
come to the conclusion that even
moderate drinking is injurious in u
moral and physical sense, hence he
goes to the length of saying that the
abridgement OF personal liberty is
| justified by the general good of the
community.
In the course of his address he de
clared that the researches of science
have proved that it is physicAlly
and mentally and morally for the ad-
vapt age of population as whole to
go without alcoholic drinks rs rule.
Hence he argues that the exclusion
of the saloon is a reasonable reStI ic
tion of individual freedom. How
ever, he realizes that the prohibition
law of Maine is dead failure, and
condemns the practice of some towns
in straddling between the question

WILLIAMS QUALIFYING FOR A
VETERINARIAN.

The object of this paragraph is
to present the position present past
and future of J. Carl Williams, a
native Greene Countian, as to the
practice of Veterinary surgery. Carr
has from boyhood shown special
fondness for that noblest of all
domestic animals the horse, and
has spent considerable Of the years
that have been his since reaching
manhood's estate in buying, sell
ing trading and for the last two
years studying and practicing the
relieving of the various ills to
which this man serving animal is
subject. He has shown a partic-
ular aptness for this last named
business and his practice has been
marked with success as numbers of
citizens whose animals got relief
at his hands will testify, In 1907
he took a three months course I'M
der a regular Veterinarian and in
1908, he took five more months
study under such direction and
tutoring. Meantime he has been
digging out knowledge of the pro-
fession both from books and med
icines with which he provided him
self from Veterinarian sources of
established renoWn, but as we'll by
actual practical experience. Real
izing the necessity for further
qualifying himself for this humane
work in life, he is leaving this
week to join a Veterinarian from
Chicago Veterinary College Of
Chicago, which has the reputation
he tells US, Of being in the front
rank of that kind of training for
eli America, Ito take a still more
extended course in the work, rang
ing to about five months. They
will select some city on the Coast
possibly Mobile or Gulfport, where
horses and mules abound so that
there will come to them sufficient
calls to familiarize him with every
phaze of alternating the miser'es of
horse and mule life, and to secure
dead bodies Of these animals for
exploratory dissertation. They will
put to death only such animals as
are hopeless; and they will not
operate upon any alive except fol
the purpose of relieving their suf-
| ferings. This will put them in
the right attitude towards vivi-
section, which is a great curse IN
some sections and cults, The above
method IS the best and most thor
ough plan to learn the profession OF
Veterinary in this day and coun'
try, Carl will come back to Greene
after concluding this course OF
practical work under the most skill
ed instructor and co-practitloner
better qualified and equipped thar
ever to doctor your afflicted hor-
ses and mules and will locate a
some accessible place by phone

of license and no license. And he
believes it much better for |. town to
stick to one policy on the other, in
stead of swinging between the two
methods of dealing with tbe liquor
question.
But the most astonishing feature
of his address was his conclusion that
even moderate drinking should be
discouraged becauoe it is objection
able, but this is a conclusion from
which a great many people dissent,
however much they may respect his
opinion. But President Eliot con-
version from moderate drinker to
the policy of total abstinence has
commanded much attention d
greatly encouraged the prohibition

IN MEMORY OF LENWOOD IRELAND


The Death Angel has passed over
our town, again, and lingering, but
for night, as it were, plucked a
fair precious flower from q loving
home, wherewith to transplant it in
Gods ever blooming garden by crys-
tai waters on Eternity's golden shore.
The bereaved parents and relatives
I have my sincerest sympathy in this
time of sorrow. We cannot always
understand the All-wise Creator in
his mysterious ways; and why He
has taken from fond parents the
flower and sunlight of a happy home,
but remember, He doeth all things
well" Shere are no errors in the
grand eternal Plan We do not know
now, but we will know. Death is so
sad, but we know ovr loss is Heav-
ems gain.
Affections often prove but bless
ings in disguise, purified by suffer
ling" All! how noble! how grand!
Even from the deepest sorrow, the
patient and thoughtful mind will
gather richer wisdom than ever
pleasure yielded.
All that devoted parents, loving
brothers and sisters, kind relatives
and friends could do, was done fol
Lenwood, but God saw fit to take
} him home to heaven.
Listen Death turks in the point
of a pin, in the sting of an insect, il

For he has only gone. before,
So watch and wait. and be

We only meet to part again,

sad-faced over the loss of his wife.
Baldwin carries his feelings well. He
tells us that that little left handed

much enjoyed trip to the Chronicle

like a tonic. Our limited knowledge
of human impressionabiiity enables
US to venture the observation that
that lecture will surely exhibit in the
years that follow an uplift to any
section in which it is turned loose.
The youth especially can not listen
to the stimulating and sometimes
castigating remarks of Mr.. Stuart il

and fired with fresh impetus to &C.

Gated from Feby. Goth when she was
taken with a slight chill followed up
by a severe one the next day, after
wards developing into pneumonia
from which she suffered until re-
heved by death Tuesday A. NJ. She
bore. her svfferings with patience and

all to no avail, the death angel tax

Her remains were taken to Leaf

services being conducted by Rev.

. Our sympathies go out to Mrs. |
Lily Wilkinson Thompson of Jack
son, who is known to our readers
through the conducting of a Wom-
ans Suffrage Department in the

her father. Mrs. Thompson is a
splendid type of the present day
Southern woman, and is highly re-
spected for her indefatible efforts
in that cause even by those who
honestly differ with her. Such a
character necessarily enjoyed the
good fortune of an excellent father
and of course keen must have been
her grief to lose him.
