WELLSVILLE, KANSAS
A Prosperous and Growing Town,
Which Never Had a Saloon

-
Wellsville, a Kansas town of 275O
population, has never had a saloon
in all of its forty-three years of ex-
istence.
1t has never had a murder, nor, a
crime against woman, nor criminal
| lawyer, nor pauper, nor a thief nor
a town drunkard.
There is net a pool hall in the
town, nor an implanted house nor a
plank sidewalk, nor a blackguard,
nor a tough boy.
1t is only forty-eight miles from
Kansas City and yet it has grown
! men and women and many young
men and boys who never saw even
the inside of a saloon or a pool
hall.
1t has a $4,000 school house in
| 6-acre playground. 1t has brick and
cement sidewalks and brick cross
ing on every corner. 1t has bril-
! liant street lights at every crossing.
1t is a town without vice-clean,
wholesome, uplifting, with a fine
moral tone; a town where peace
! and plenty reign"
An agent for a mail order liquor
house went to WelIsviIle once and
| began to nose around among the
men, seeking for orders. The wo-
men heard of it and fifteen of them
got together, and each with a horse
! whip, and marched down to the
Commercial Hotel, where the whis-
key drummer was staying. He was
eating dinner when they came in
and asked for him. From his seat
at the dining room table he saw
those fifteen women with their horse
whips and heard them inquiring for
him.
He did not stop to finish his din
ner. He went out the kitchen way
and over a back fence, and around
to a liverystable, where he ordered
"a rig, double quick, and drove over
to Baldwin. He sent back for his
sample case.
One of the conspicuous things
about Wellsville is its town pride.
Everybody brags about the cleanIi-
ness of the town, the moral tone of
lit, the fine school, and especially
iabout the fact that the town has
never had a saloon, and never will
have one
The Wellsville mother never has
ito worry about where her boy is at
night. There is no place of vice
nor evil way that he can get into
unless he takes a train and goes
far away. The wives of Wellsville
don't have to sit and wonder where
their husbands are. There are no
drinking places to entice them.
I'VE consider that our best adver-
tisement and most valuable asset
is the fact that our town has never
had a saloon" said Asa Converse,
editor of the Wellsville Globe.
That one thing has brought more
people here to live than any other.
The fact that it has always been
Impossible TO get a drink in this
town has done more to make it a
great trading point than any other
You ought to see this main street
every Saturday when the farmers
drive in from miles around to trade.

KNIFE THROUGH
HEAD OF MAN
Eight Men in Turn Failed to
Pull it From George
Barrett's Head.

Rogersville, Tenn, Oct. Ill
There was considerable excite
ment in Rogersville tonight when
George Barrett, of Clinch Noun
tain came riding into town, his
hat pinned to his head with a Bar
low knife, the blade Of which had
penetrated his skull three and a
half inches. Barrett was accom-
panied by his brother. He had
been bleeding profusely and was
a sad looking spectacle.
The Barretts say that the knife
blow was struck by Clint Barrett,
cousin, or a man named Flan-
merry. The four of them had been
to Rogersville today, and were
riding home late this afternoon,
all going to Clinch Mountain. Bar
rett was struck from the rear, and
