Whiskey in its Place.

Good in it's place!
Where is that place?
Thou friend that's
Cursed the human race,
Where is that place?
Oh, let me tell,
For I have learned
Thy secret well.
Show me the place
Where you have been
And there's the place
Where crime is seen;
Show me the place
Your presence blights,
And there's the place
For brawls and fights.
Go see the grave that
You have filled,
Go see the blood that
You have spilled;
Then tell me that
There is place
Where you should
Show your demon face.
Go ask the drunkard's
Wretched wife;
What's been the terror of her life;
What turned her
Raven locks to snow
And laid her wretched husband
low.
See how she looks,
By man forsaken;
See her by want and
Sorrow shaken;
See her hide in deep disgrace,
Then say no more
About your place.
Go hear the orphans
Cry for bread,
Go hear the widow
Mourn her dead,
Go see the drunkard's haggard
face,
Auu dSh VI IueIu "uClS 10 Ill y
place.
Ask the pauper, at the poor house
door,
What makes his heavy heart so
sore,
He'll say, while tears run down
his face,
Because he had for you a place.
Go see the place where demons
Turk;
Go watch them in their devilish
work,
AS they with knives each other
chase,
And there, vile whiskey, is the
place.
There's where the gallows finds
it's food,
There's where the prison gets it's
brood,
There's where crime and poverty
embrace,
While rushing on their head
long race.

NUMBER ONE.

Mrs. R. X. Fisher visited her sis
ter, Mrs. Sam Wade, last week.
Mrs. ]. w. Gates is on the sick list
this week.
We noticed with great pleasure
that Gov. Rye signed the Custer Bill.
We consider this a great victory for
law enforcement, and such acts will
put an end to fusion in Tennessee.
We have learned that an effort is
to be made by the people of this dis
trict to consolidate our schools and
build one strong central school. A
meeting is called to consider the
plan, which meets at Lucknow on
Friday evening, Feb. 10, 1915. A
representative of the State Superin-
tendent, Prof. Rulings and local
school men will make addresses. We
hope that the time is not far distant
when we can boast of a strong
school sentiment and as good school
system as can be found in the State.
THANKFUL.

Diplomatic sources hold that
Rumania will enter into the war be-
fore February l s If ever. Italy Is now

that the two nations may intervene
simultaneously.
Three important results are Elk
pected by the allies from Itaio-Rnm-
anian intervention. 1t is expected to
relieve the contraband situation, de-
press Austria morally and save Ser
bia Petrograd minimizes the strategic
value Of the double Intervention whose
military effectiveness Is so grossly
over-estimated. 1t IL believed that Ber-
lin will influence Viena to compromise
with Italy Rumania Is not resisting
milltarily because 1t Is known that
neither Italy nor Rumania feels secure
from German military power. Petro-
grad does not believe that Germany
will permit Austria to devote serious
attention to the Serbian offensive
