the severity lie merited.
Mrs. Stewart, fearing to make trou.

Z %nelshbors. but her son did and was
constantly meeting Forshay. But Fltz
Hugh noticed that Forshay's manner
toward him had changed. What had

A Sad Death

On last Sunday morning at9
O'Clock, the death angel entered
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Hancock, and took from them
their Oldest son, Willie.
He was just in the bloom of life
which made it the harder to give
him up; but it must be that God
plucks the buds here to bloom in
Heaven.
Willie was a good boy, a com
tort to his parents, pleasure to
his friends, which were many. He
has only paid the debt we all must
pay sometime.
Let us live so that we may meet
him in that home where there is no
sorrow.
Sometime the shadows all will flee.
brighter day We then shall see:
No trouble, sorrow, grief nor care,
Shall eer then come-for God is there.

introduces Temperance Measure

Representative n. b. Kersh of
Lincoln County, introduced the
first temperance measure in the leg
islature, and proposes to make a
hard fight for the passage of this
or a similar bill.
This bill provides for the submis
sion of the liquor question to the
vote of the people of the State at
the regular State election in Sep
tember, 1919, the question to be
submitted, of course, to the regu-
larly qualified electors.
But an important provision OF
the bill is that no saloon licenses
may be granted in 1912. License
already granted or that may be
granted for the remainder of 1911
will not be disturbed. Should the
vote at the election named not give
a majority of electors against liquor
then the county judges in "wet"
counties may resume the granting
of license in 1913.
