BRISTOL'S GOOD RECORD.

A special in the Chattanooga Times
from Bristol, Tenn, says:
BRISTOL, Tenn, Jan. 10.-Several
Bristolians interested in state wide
prohibition left Bristol today for Nash
willie, to join the forces at work there
in the interest of such measure. The
record in favor of law and order in
Bristol without saloons has been so
favorable that the Christian people
generally are interested in having the
liquor traffic wiped out of the entire
state. AS compared with from four to
twenty DRINKS day with twenty five
saloons in the town, there are now not
more than one or two arrests for
drunkenness in week. There have
been only two or three such arrests
since the holidays. and the morning
following Christmas day failed to show
a case of the kind.
And yet the Times is lined up on the
side that is against the state wide
movement. This does not mean that
the Times is for the saloons and whis-
key, but it looks devilishly so. When
will there be change from this mad
ness for money to be gained from the
sale of liquid perditionH

THE PROHIBITION FIGHT.

Nashville has been in a sort of seis.
mic disturbance this week for the
whiskey forces, we mean. All the big
rumbugs of Chattanooga, Memphis
and La Toilette we're there, Chattanoo-
ga, sending four barrels, we mean four
carloads, of the ''saviors of their coun-
try" the Representatives of helPs BUS
MESS. A lot of fair, but unfortun-
ately for the cause, fallen women,
were also said to be present to allure
with their Establishments possibly tot
tering senators and representatives.
The first round was pulled off Mon
day when the distinguished governor
of the state "spieled" loudly with a
special message on what an awful
thing it was to drive curse from a
state. His words were heard patiently
and politely, but fell on Interchangeable
ground, for the senate committee on
liquor traffic recommended the state
wide measure as proposed by Senator
Holiday to the senate by vote of 10
to 6, and Tuesday the senate ratified
their action. In the house the fight
was as strenuous, for the whiskey fore
es did an extraordinary thing in an
effort to win, by fighting the second
reading of the two prohibition bills
pending. Every effort was made by
motions to adjourn and appeals from
the rulings of Speaker Taylor came
thick and fast from the whiskey CO.
horts, but in vain. The bills were
passed and referred to the committee
on liquor traffic.
The curse of Tennessee is dying
hard, but right will prevail.

Editor Tells Truth and Leaves Town.

1t is told of Michigan editor that
he grew tired of lying about people in
obituary notices, and then have people
call him hypocrite, and so he wrote
up one well-known citizen. We have
not been able to learn what became of
the editor:
"Died-Aged ffty-six years, six
months and fifteen days. Deceased was
a mild-mannered pirate, with mouth
for whiskey and an eye for Doodle. He
came here at night with another man S
wife and joined the church at the first
chance. He owed us seven dollars on
the paper. You could hear him pray
six blocks. He died singing Jesus
Paid 1t ALL and we think he is right
as he never paid anything himself.
He was buried in an asbestos casket
and his friends threw palm fans into
his grave, as he may need them. His
tombstone will be a favorite resting
place for boot owls

| do not want a gaping crowd
To come, with lamentations loud,
When life has fled.
Nor would I have my words or ways
Rehearsal, perhaps, mid tardy praise
When am dead.
l do not want strange, curious eyes
To scan my face when still it lies
In silence dread,
Nor do l want them if they would
To tell my deeds we're i'll or good
When 1 am dead.
l only want the Every few
Who stood through good and evil, too,
Through friendships test
Just they who sought to find the good
And then as only true friends could,
Forgive the rest.
They who with sympathetic heart,
Sought hope and comfort to impart,
Whilst there was life,
Not keeping all the tears and signs
Till weary WORKOUT nature dies
And ends the strife.
I'd have them come, the "friendl,
few"
And say for me prayer or two,
By kindness led;
Nor many tears I'd have them shed
Nor do want much sung or said
When l am dead.
To have them each come in alone
And call me in the old, sweet tone
Would suit me best,
And then, without sob or moan,
Go softly out, and leave alone
The dead to rest.
Just as I'd lived for God above
A life of toll and zeal and love,
So let me die,
As one who lived and worked and dice
A mound of earth with cross beside
Tell where lie.
