Maine is the original prohibition
State, 1t first tried 1t In 1876, kept II
nine years, repealed 1t In 1855, and
again adopted It in 1858, retaining 1t
(nomnally) ever since. It has been a
failure from the beginning and the
change In public opinion has been so
great that from a majority Of some
10000 when prohibition was adopted,
the law was retained by only 1858
votes out of total Of 100000 last

In Memoriam

The death angel has come into
our home and claimed one of the
most beloved members of our fami-
ly, Mrs Ella B. Watkins, aged 80.
The funeral services were conducted
at the Baptist church by Rev, j. T.
Jones, our pastor, and Bro. George
James. Her health had been bad
for several months and while she
was away from us part of the time,
yet we knew she was always with
us in prayer and ready to come to
us in her sweet, quiet way and help
us in any way she could. She was
a true and faithful daughter, a pure
and consecrated mother, a sincere
friend, who with tender faithful
ness discharged all the duties of
life, never too busy or too i'll to neg
lect the small sweet courtesies of
life, trusting always in the all-wise
providence of her Heavenly Father.
II everyone for whom she had done
some loving service were to lay a
blossom on her grave she would
rest today beneath wilderness of
flowers. And as we stood around
her flower laden casket We had no
fear, for from her last assuring evil
dence OF the last few hours Of her
life we knew that she had passed
into the blessed heaven of eternal
rest. She was permitted to see
through the vale clear across the
banks of the beautiful stream,
where the saints are repaid for all
earthly loss. For them death is
only a dream, Farewell, dear be-
loved one. We believe the world is
TO be better for your life, and we
know that we can all be braver for
your death

NEW YORK. Feb. lT.-Only the
familiar Saturday peacefulness was
visible on the stock exchange today
and prices as a rule changed by trif'
ling fractions, Foreign stock markets
were clearly balancing between the
good influence of the friendly Anglo
German conferences and the threat
ening English coal strike.
IL is scarcely possible that this
labor demonstration will be allowed

dent was the statement or the I'M

crease in cash holdings for the week
of $l7, Ace. 900. Foreign exchange was
strong today. and Europe seemed TO
be borrowing here again.
The market ruled extremely dun
throughout the first hour, a moderate
covering movement forcing prices OF
the more important issues TO slightly
higher prices.
