Jordan Peacock Dead.

The manly readers of the News and
especially those who like tine horses

regret that he is no more. Doubtless
he was known and appreciated by more
people than any other horse that ever
lived in this part OF the state, but
there is not doubt but he contribut-

this section than any other sire.

Temperance and Statewide PrOhi.
bitiOn.

Whether prohibition, by county or
local unit, or by enactment of State
wide significance is the panacea for
the evils incident to over-indulgence
in liquor is still an open question con-
corning which the last word has not
up to date been spoken. 1t is trite to
say that one may be incorporate in
the use OF anything, the tongue, for
instance: or in the eating of miRce pie.
This is doubtless true in both these
instances. But when people speak of
temperance they mean one thing: as
it relates TO the use of alcoholic liquors
as beverage. Everybody believes in
temperance. The question is, what
will best promote temperance? Some
folks say prohibition, in Statewide ap-
plication, and point to the States
which have tried it as proof of their
assertion. Kansas is, perhaps, the
best example of what prohibition will
do for State. Aud the law has
worked as well in Kansas as laws gov
erning any other matter Of prohibit
ton, such as larceny and arson and
murder. In other States the law has
not worked so well, not, perhaps, be-
cause of anything radically wrong in
the principle, but because of defects
ia the enacting statute As matter
Of fact, no law can be successfully en-
forced unless public sentiment is ia
vOrabie to such law. If public Senti.
ment, from the Statewide standpoint,
is favorable TO prohibition i'll Ken
should not be success If it is not,
from this Lhandpoint, the enactment
of such Jaw will work to no good end
However, the only way to test the
thing out, is to let the people of the
States have the opportunity of regis
tering their will in the matter The
present agitation by the Anti-saloon
league is useful in that it will prob
ably result in putting the thing TO the
test of the popular suffrage. And the
Anti-saloon league is the saneSt and
cleaneSt agency for temperance in the
country to-day, being, as it is, the
church at work along temperance lines
through the league as its accredited
agent.
But prohibition, once secured, is not
secure. The party of the first may pes
tition. and successfully, the legiS-
tature for the submission of prohibit
tion to the vote of the people: and
the party of the second may petition,
and Successfully, the legislature, for
re-submiSSiOn.

Eleven Head of Stock Dead.

The people of Adair county are very
much in sympathy with Mr.. w. T.
Dohoney, who lives on the Burkesville
pike, two and one-half miles from Co.
lumbia. Last Friday morning his
stock, mules aud horses, commenced
dying and up to Sunday afternoon he
had lost elven head. The cause is a
mystery. Mr.. DohOney has no enemy
to his knowledge. He is a prosperous
and careful farmer and stock raiser,
hence the wholesale dying of his mules
and horses can not be explained by
the local yeterinarieS.
A government expert has been noti-
fed and he was expected to arrive
Monday.
Mr.. DohOney's loss is about eighteen
hundred dollars.

men were here from all the adjoining
counties and business was good
throughout the day. The town was
full of people and lot of stock

of town riding different horses from

boys did good business selling pea
nuts and apples, and lunch counters

In fact, money could not have bought
him, and the best of corn, hay and
oats were at all times at his command.
But he is gone, and Judge Jones is in
trouble. He wants another horse OF
Paxy 5 qualities, and he has decided
that he vii buy a likely colt and raise

Resolutions on the Death OF Mrs.
A. E. Hardin.

We, the members of the Columbia
Missionary Society, desire to express
the sorrow of our hearts in the transi-
ton of one of our former members,
Mrs. Hardin Though we are grieved
that her life Gil earth is ended, yet
we are comfo-ted in the belief that
she to-day enjoys the glories of her
Fathers home, and in that mansion
above is waiting to welcome the loved
ones left behind. Therefore be it re-
solved:
lSt In the death of Mrs Hardin we
feel that our society has lost friend,
though not with US in person, that
we were remembered in her prayers
2nd Though her stay among us was
only for season at a time, yet the
gentle Christian influence of her life
was an inspiration for good, and her
presence ever benedictiOn.
Bird We tender our heart felt Sympa-
thy to her two children, and especially
to Mrs. Nelson, our former president
and TO the many friends who knew
her but to love, and we pray that in
this dark hour of trial the dear
Savior'S arms may uphold them, and
may He guide them and at last bring
them into a happy reunion with the
loved ones waiting up there. May
God help US all so to live that we may
meet her with other loved ones in that
city which hath foundations, whose
builder and maker is God.
Respectfully and reverently sub.
mitted.

Young man, this paper is your

that if you should so far forget your
self as to take too much tangle foot,
make an exhibition of your condition
by appearing upon the streets, there
is County Judge on the bench, who
has taken an oath to do his duty, and
those who have known him long, say
there is not q doubt but he will do it,
it matters not who the law breakers
may be. Therefore, we admonish you
to live Soberly. The Tay to live such
life is to cut out all associates who
are in the habit of taking too much
strong drink. Bad associates are
ruInouS and they should be avoided.
Cut them out. They may appear cool
toward you for awhile, but it will not
be long until they VIII call upon you
for advice when they want to under
take laudiable business.
