Judge Head on Temperance.

Judge Fl. 0. Head, of Sherman, Tex,
delivered masterful address on the
subject of Temperance at the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church last Mon
day evening before fairly good audi
ence. He was introduced by Judge
Swiggart in brief address, and the au-
dience was unusually attentive.
He first gave history of the move
ment and used his own State and county
as an example of its growth throughout
the nation. He discussed at length
what is commonly known as the local
option or unit plan of handling the
question. This was Objectionable on
the grounds that for instance in the vote
of Grayson County, Texas, Golfers
vile voted dry and dumped the saloons
and their following on Sherman. Then
Whitesboro was made unit and voted
dry, dumping the saloons and their
gang on Sherman, and so on until all
the saloonist, their following, including
the worthless, idle negroes got into Sher-
man, which made it harder for Sher-
mans good citizens to overcome all the
lawless element of the county. The
same is true of Memphis, Nashville and
Chattanooga. Your State has dumped
about all this element into these centers
and then want to allow these to oyer
ride the wishes of the better element.
Judge Head described another ele-
ment that aids the sale of liquor. This
class, he styles, The Backers." These
are the men who profess to be against
the violation of the law and for prohi-
bition, but after declaring for it say,
But it can't be prevented" These
are in the class that have become ancient
history in Texas. He said that for the
successful conviction of some prominent
men they refuted forever this idea.
He then made a strong point on the
growth of the cities and towns under
prohibition, as compared to so-called
regulation. Union City was the ex-
ample. Its growth under prohibition
as against regulation.
Altogether the speech was one of the
best heard here.

DR.. McRee's Birthday.

DR.. F. NJ. McRee celebrated his sixty
eighth birthday last Thursday at his
beautiful country home near Union City
on the western outskirts, one of the
most picturesque places in the country
hereabouts. All the county Confeder-
ate veterans were invited to be present
and a very large number assembled
there to honor the occasion. Capt.
Moses and w. H. Coley, of the State
Pension Board, were present, and Capt.
Moses addressed the old soldiers explain
ing the pension system. All the veter-
ans are to be cared for who served con-
tinuously through the war. No pro-
visions are made for the widows, and
none for the veterans who have any
charge against their service.
Hon. Benton McMillin, candidate for
Governor on the Democratic ticket, was
present and delivered an interesting adj
dress and an eloquent tribute to the old
guard, entertaining with splendid after
dinner speech.
The dinner was capped with Charley
Herrng's best barbecue. Mr.. Herring
is famed all over this country for his
fine barbecue, and on this occasion he
succeeded with the preparation of the
choicest and best favored meats ever
tasted. A long row of tables stretched
from one end of the front yard to the
other loaded with all the season s finest
products in meats and vegetables, the
finest homemade lightbread and corn
bread, chickens, salads, coffee, cakes,
ices, cigars, all of the most tempting
nature. 1t was a veritable feast and
abundant for many more than were
present.
The Stanley jug band was present
and discoursed popular music, many of
the stirring tunes familiar to the old
soldiers, including Dixie.
