Plain Dealing.


Tuesday, March 23.-Rev. A. w.
Turner, representing the Antisaloon
League, delivered very interesting ad-
dress at the Baptist Church Sunday
night. Rev. w. E. Collins, pastor OF
the church, in a few words, introduced
the speaker, commencing him and the
cause he represents. The church, not
withstanding the extreme cold, was
comfortably filled, and the speaker was
given the closest attention. He pre-
dicted that as soon as the necessary leg
islation could be had that the entire
State would be prohibition, and, as the
speaker naively added, New Orleans,
too. He paid high tribute to the peo-
pie of South Louisiana, claiming as good
citizenship as is to be found in any
part of the State, and that the Creoles
could be depended on in this Statewide
issue. He also spoke in commendable
terms OF the Senator from this district,
Hon. w. B. Boggs, and of Representa-
tive w. J. Johnston, both OF our town,
and Representative W. c. Hughes of
of Hughes Spur, claiming that on all
moral questions they could be depended
on. He particularly wanted it known
that he had Senator Boggs amp Repre-
sentative Johnston act as collectors for
his meeting. The address was distinct
| success. In the near future he will visit
Bolinger.
