Clay Township Metropolis Is
Now Making Anna Held
Eyes at Her Henry County
Sister Community.
THINKS QUAKER CITY
IS JUST To0~NASTy
Flower City Is Assured That
So Long as It Remains
Dry It Will Get All of Green's
forks Trade.

Greensboro has given sister New Cas-
tie a sweet old kiss and has whispered
into the ear of the delighted Flower
City that she thinks Richmond is just
too mean for anything and hat from
now on until the dim and fog-obscured
future she will never associate with
the Quaker city again.
Greensboro has told New Castle that
she thinks Richmond is just horrid
because she voted we and that as long
as New Castle remains dry she Will
continue to deposit all of her surplus
income into the purses of the Flower
City merchants. Just what the
Greensboro tradesmen think Of this is
not announced.
Here is a copy of resolutions just
drawn up by the Ladies' Aid Society Of
the Sugar Grove U. B. church, Green's
fork, and forwarded to the joy-madden-
ed merchants Of New Castle; also to
sthe enraptured editor of the New Cas-
tie Courier:
What Greensboro Resolved.
Whereas, at an election held in
Wayne county, Indiana on February 5,
1909, to determine whether i~ntoxicat-
ing liquors should be sold in said coun-
ty-and
Whereas, 1t was clearly shown by
the returns of said election, that the
merchants, manufacturers, and busi-
ness men, the county and city officials,
all the newspapers Of the city of Rich
mond. and even n Or two so-called
ministers of the gospel, seemingly lost
sight Of all justice n moral con
science, and did vote and use their in
1luence and means to retain the slum
element and trade in their city, as
against a good majority in every town
ship outside the city, and the best in
terests and wishes of all good. moral
and temperate people ~everywhere:
thereby showing their preference for
the slum trade and almighty license
dollar to the trade and patronage of
the temperance people Of Wayne and
adjoining counties;
And BE It Resolved
Therefore, be it resolved, that We.
The Ladies' Aid Society of Sugar
Grove U. B. Church, give our influence,
support and patronage to dry" towns
and cities, and that we sincerely ask
the cooperation of all the Ladies' Aid
Societies and temperance societies, If
respective of denomination, to join us
In support of the dry" as against the
''wets," who have SO shamefully
ignored us.
Be 1t further resolved, that we give
our influence and patronage to news
papers advocating dry" and discon-
tinue the support of newspapers advo-
eating wet"

But the Ladies' Aid Society of
Greensboro, which will probably
change its name to the Greensboro La
dies Aid society for New Castle mer-
chants. is not the only organization in
the Clay township metropolis that in
tends to snub that beer-loving old
scamp, Friend Richmond. Listen

Greensboro are circulating the follow
ing resolution throughout the town.

I'VE. voters and citizens of Clay
township, respectfully ask the mer-

ne their patronage with all wholesale

took at the local option election re-

this resolution are meeting with is not
known.
