April 18th, 1915.
On January 4, 1916, we left
Riddleton where we had lived
for twenty five years. After
looking for the last time where
We had served the people Of our
community for over thirteen
years in the capacity of the Post
Office 1t brought to memory
familiar faces and dear friends
to whom it was Fad to say good
bye. We wiped away the start
ing tears and turned our faces
southwark and followed ''the
sun in his fight AMI just as he
was sinking behind the western
hills, we were near the beautiful
city of Nashville. Here we
spent the night with ourfriends,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. casters.
Next morning. January 5. we
left Nashville for Clermont, Flo
rida. our destination.
Our passage over the N. O. e
SIS. L. Ry.i was delightful. A
view from a car window gave us
some idea of the country. After
we left Murfreesboro the land
was very poor and red sandy hills
could be seen for miles around.
We rode for miles along the Ten
nessee river, muddy and hardly
enough current to float rail.
Just at shutdown we were at
Chattanooga. that beautiful city
of the heroic and the dead. We
could see the coke ovens and
were reminded of what the Eng
lishman said about PIttsburg,
Penn. Soon we were moving on
through Georgia. We passed
through this state at night.
Next morning, January 6, we
reached Jacksonville. that beau
tiful city of magnificent hotels,
drive ways and parks. Here we
had breakfast and soon we were
on our way south again. We
passed over thousand of acres of
beautiful country that could be
laid off in farms and homes as
pretty as any IN Tennessee, plen-
ty of stock water and along those
streams are great stretches of
graceful pines and giant oaks.
all fringed with Spanish moss.
Cattle and hogs run wild in the
woods.
The next place of Importance
was Sanford. This is thriving
little city, and the country Sur
roundl ng is planted in orange
groves and sc me of the land is
worth $1,000, 100 per acre. Much
celery is shipped from here.
We arrived at Clermont at a /:
80 p. m. and before we could
reach our hotel, we were caught

destlllery until it empties into
the hell Of death it brings dis-
honor and crime, anddemoralizes
everything it touches from its
source to its end. We do not
believe that any one can con-
template the object without
prejudice against the liquor
crime. All we have to do, gen
tlemen, is to think of the wrecks
on either bank of the ocean of
death: of the suicides; of the in
sanity; of the ignorance; of the
restitution; of the little chll-
dren tugging at the faded and
withered breasts of weeping and
dispairing mothers; of wives
asking for bread; Of men of
genius it has wrecked and of
men struggling with imaginary
serpents.
We believe every thoughtful
man is prejudiced against this
Internal stuff that is calico alco-

"Intemperance cuts down
youth in it's vigor, manhood in
its strength and age in its weak
ness; it breaks the fathers
heart, bereaves t h e doting
mother; extingnishes natural
affections, grasses conjugal love;
blots out filial attachments,
blights parental hope and brings
down mourning age in sorrow to
the grave; it produces weakness,
not strength; sickness, not
health; death, not life; it makes
wives widows; children orphans;
and all of them beggere.
1t helps. to produce all kinds
of sickness; it Grams the lard
with idleness, misery and all
kinds of crime; it fills our jails;
it crowds our penitentiaries, and
furnishes victims for the scaffold;
it is the life blood of the gamb-
Ter; the element of the burglar;
the prop of the high-wayman aud
the support of the midnight i'm
cendiary.
It countenances the liar, re-
spects the thief and esteems the
blasphemer; IL violates obliga-

ors infamy; it defames benevo-
lence and hates love.
1T incites the father to butch
er his offspring: helps the hus-
band to massacre his wife, and
the children to grind the parricl-
dial ak.
1T degrades the citizen; de-
bases the legislature; dishonors

Filipino bolo, has been developed by
