The Progressive West Virginian,
Williamson, w Va.
The Nolan w. c. T. U. held a most
delightful entertainment In the
church Sunday evening. The audi
ence was very large and attentive
The program was we'll rendered and
enthusiastically received ,by the
audience which was demonstrated by
the size of the collection taken for
financial support. The exercises were
conducted by Mrs. r. w. Murphy, as
sisted prominently by Mrs. Hale,
Miss Mabel Hale Miss Lovins, Miss
Emma MARQUES, Miss Mary Farris
and Miss Chastey ,Wellman. The rem
dftfon Of music by Miss Mable Hale
and the choir was surprisingly
grand. The readings and recitations
by the boys and girls showed most
excellent care In training, from the
beauty and grace displayed in the
exhibitions. After the selections
were rendered an address was made
by the Rev. w. H. Hensley who en-
planned the evils. Of the whisky traffic
in most appropriate terms.
The growing manifestations OF
praise for our cause Il encouraging
and the battle cry 10 reaching the
hearts OF the fathers and young
men who will ON the 5th Of Novem-
Der march to the polls and cast their
ballot against the evil, which has
been the downfall OF almost every
nation since the founding Of the peo-
peopled world. The reason OF destruc
ton OF nations is that 1t begins in
che taverns and sla0on and vari-
GUS other kinds OF drinking places
then into the homes, when 1t under
mines the health and prosperity OF
the people who make the nation,
then 1t finally gets the nation. Look
at the history Of Rome, and the Per-
sian dominion. What great destruc-
ton befell them on account OF strong
drink. This grand United States OF
America can fall the same way. But
we are progressive people and must
not let 1t fall. We must vote the III
quor out OF the States and educate
our boys and girls the evil there Is In
IT,.
Oh You girls, the flower OF the earth
that nature entwine
Must say to the boys, that lips that
touch liquor shall never toch mine.
The women of the world are to re-
deem 1t. Before the time OF our
SAVIOUR the women were mere SER
wants and slaves to men Jesus orr
Saviour liberated them for which
every woman OF the world should
be proud, and are not If they ALLOW
the men to do these evils. It IL not
as intended.
eFor by their fruits ye shall
know them. ~ Now every woman and
man that can read what our SAVIOUR
has said certainly does not want to
raise up boys and girls to fill drunk
ards graves hence remove the liquor
evil II there were dens OF poison
Gus snakes scattered over our coun-
try and In our cities and towns we
would certainly make a strenuous
effort to exterminate them. why
Vote out the liquor which will
mean lower taxes fewer officers,
less murders. fewer insane and 4
world Of blessings and happiness.
When the clouds OF sin have pass
ed away and time will be no more,
and the land will be 50 bright and
the angle mothers and tba ch31drar
will be singing on the coasts Of every
shore: We have abolished the evil
liquor everywhere.
The same renditions OF program will
be given at Borderland THURSDAY
evening. Everybody come out IN thu
most noble and glorious cause.
Yours truly.
