Death Of Mrs. j. L. Rallings.

Mrs. J l.. Ratings died at her
home in North Monroe last FIJI
day, after a long illness, during
a part Of which she was paraIv-
zed. She had been a long and
patient sufferer. The remains
were carried to the old home at
White Plains for mterment. and
Rev. Mr. Craig conducted the ser.
vice ON Saturday. The deceas-
Ell was slxty-one years old, Lack

thirty years and was an excep.

Mr.. Craig Attacks Whisley and
LaWlessness.

Last Sunday evening M. Craig
pastor OF the Baptist church.
preached from the text: Thou
art weighed in the balances. and
art found wanting. and began
his sermon by saying that the
whlskey traffic had overthrowm
nations. demoralized communities
and ruined individuals. After a
brief introduction, Mr.. Craig de-
clared that there was too much
wh:skey sold in Monroe. that ON
last Monday there were lib pre-
scriptions filled in the town for
whiskey. He declared that that
was too many. He said one of the
town physicians wrote 81 of these
prescriptions, while the rest of
our physicians wrcte 81, and the
out of town physicians wrote a..
This he thought was entirely too
many for well crowd. If the
people had been sick, said the
preacher the supply of whiskey
would have been exhausted.
Here the minister paused and
then asked this question, MAY
not this be the cause of 50 much
crime in cur midst ?" A few
months ago it was rare thing
to see a man drunk in Monroe;
now we see them frequently.
Now our wives and daughters are
afraid to go to sleep at night. lest
they should be awakened BY the
strong rough hand of the bur
glar. Not only is this true, de-
clared the preacher, but it is un-
safe for our wives and daughters
to walk down our streets in the
early part of the night. He said
that last week two of our best
ladies were insulted nour pub
lie streets, at an early hour of
the night, and that it was time
for us to demand better protec-
tion, and TO see that our laws
were enfirced against the whis-
key traffic. Quite a number of
the congregation went forward
at the conclusion of the service
and thanked Mr.. Craig for the
sermon.

ject of county taxation for road
Improvement. The Colonel don I
give dunn how much Monroe

to the county he wants to be ex-

good enough now, he says, and
if anybody isn't satisfied with
them let them get flying ma

be about knee deep in mud in

further remarks that folks have

Showing that Cook had made
desperate efforts to ward off the
knife blade which was seeking
his throat, are the numerous cuts
upon the hands of the deceased.

ted TO covefr his throat with
his outstretched palm. The wea-
