At the Methodist church last SUNDAY
morning Mrs. Atkins, organizer and
lecturer for the w. c. I. t.. delivered
lecture on temperance which delight
ed the large congregation which heard
her. The lady founded her remarks
upon the story of King Ahasuerus.
Haman and Esther. AS related in the
Book of Esther, comparing the liqucr
interests Of the country to the crafty
and wicked Haman, appealing to the
people as the King aud placing the Or
ganization which she so ably represents
in the character of Esther. The little
woman illustrated her talk with pathetic
stories OF shame and ruin which had
come to her own knowledge through
the liquor traffic and appealed to the
men OF Madison to rise up and STAY the
Rum demon. In the evening Mrs. Atkins
lectured before large and intereste d
at the Baptist church and
added to her well deserved laurels as
one of the most forceful and eloquent
speakers upon this subject that has
ever been heard in our town.

THURSDAY, FEBEUARY1O. 1910.

Madison county has the lands
upon which to locate a thousand
live stock farmers. And when
you think Of the fact that meats
continue to climb higher in price
with each recurring year you
must readily conclude that no
line OF business offers larger and
surerresults than the production
OF meat.

STAND BY YOUR TOWN.

No town can be permanently
prosperous in which the citizens
and tradesmen dependent on
each other do not patronize each
other. The merchant wants
harness, for instance, and al
though bis neighbor is a good
harness maker, and trades with
him, he imagines he can save
fifty cents by sending to another
city or state for his harness.
The harness maker, in turn,
sends away for his groceries,
boots, shoes and clothing. The
shoemaker sends away for his
coat, and the tailor sends away
for his boots, and so it goes.
As a result, the farmers coming
in to trade see all the trades
meu sending to other places for
goods because, they say, they
can save money by doing so,
come to the conclusion that
they, too, can do better else
where; and then everybody is
growing about hard times and
20 business. No wonder; the
business men themselves turn |
he tide of trade elsewhere, for
! they Can supply themselves to
better advantage by depriving
heir neighbor of their trade.

The meeting of the County
Executive Committee called fol-
Saturday failed to materialize.
Chairman Leslie was present
hut there was not a suffi Gent
number of the committeeman
present to hold the meeting.
This would seem too indicate
that our people are a little to
busy to care for politics
right now, but we must con-
slider that we have a Political
duty to perform and this dutv
is just as pressing upon us as
our own private affairs. Chair
man Leslie has called another
meeting for next Saturday and
the members of the committee
are urged to be present and dis
charge their duties.
