visited, delivered most interest
ing address. He declared there
were greater advantages in the
South today than in any other
part of the civilized world, and
that if the people in the overpopu-
lated parts of the world knew the
advantages here there would soon
be such an influx of people as
would revolutionize this section.
He touched upon good roads, bet
ter methods of farming, rotation
and intensification, and urged the
people to be careful of the class of
citizens that they induced to come
to the state
The large number OF amusement
and refreshment features left moth
ing to be desired along this line.
Prominent among these features
were Prof. }. Deronda' S palmistry
tent, in which readings we're made
by j. ID. Akin, one of our home
men and an expert in his line. Mr..
Atkins ability as palmist is at
tracing considerable attention and
many took advantage of this OPP
portunity to consult him.
The minstrel performance by
local talent was another excellent
feature and was we'll patronized.
There were refreshment booths
galore, a monkey show, snake
show, merry-go-round, ETC., and
these were arranged in the best
manner we ever saw at picnic,
forming veritable worlds fair
pike in miniature.
Music was furnished by the l.
o. o. f. Home Band of Batesville
and Doc Magness' colored string
band.
There was abundance of barbe-
cued meats, and there was no COM
plant of anyone going hungry or
thirsty.
The social features were very
pleasant. Everybody seemed to be
out for a jolly good and the crowd
was good-natured and orderly.
Taken altogether it was perhaps
the most successful and most en-
joyable event of this kind ever
held in the county.

SHALL WE HELP THEM?
Some Pertinent Questions by J. L.
Brown on a Live Issue

We stand today facing a large
army of beggars. Gray haired
parents that have looked on the
manly forms of their boys that
grew up about them as pleasant
plants until the simron of death
the whiskey curse-fell upon them,
under which they withered and
died; and nothing today remains
save the mounds of earth, the cold,
dishonored graves, to tell the
world that they have been.
Beside these parents stand a
group of women. They are wild
ows, sad-faced and broken-heart-
ed. They were once happy wives.
They reigned as queens within
their homes. They leaned upon
the strong arm of a loving hus-
band, and smiled upon a group of
rosy-faced children. Their homes
were Heaven in miniature, until an
evil hour came, and the husband
became welded to another-the
drink habit. Under it he stagger-
ed; he fell; he persisted. Today
these homeless widows stand with
feeble bodies and crushed spirits,
fighting us best they can to keep
the wolf of hunger outside their
doors. Some of them perhaps
have been forced to sell their viz
tue to buy bread for their starving
children. God in Heaven pity
them in their sad, sad plight!
Near these stand another group
Of sad-eyed women-women who
have travelled through great tribu-
lations. Their fathers, their hus-
bands and their sons have been en-
tangled in the DEVILS fish-net, the
saloon, and for crimes committed
while crazed by drink, they are to-
day toiling in disgrace behind
prison walls, while within them
RACES an appetite, and over them
hangs power stronger than death
and darker than the grave.
Back of these women stand an
army of children neglected
cold - hungry = growing up in
rags. ignorance aud vice. These
children are robbed by the saloon
traffic. With bloo6less faces and
bony fingers they are looking and
reaching for help.
What shall we dol Shall we
help them, or shall we help the
Whiskey Demon to continue its
curse upon thems
Shall we sanction the work of
the brewer and the distiller as they
ply their trade to curse our ma
ton.
