The membership of the Public

Executive Committee feels itshould
be the Librarian has been request
ed to make a personal canvass in
the. interest of the Library to Sc
cure as many subscribers as possi-
Bile. We believe there are nmany
of our citizens who are not on the
roll of subscribers, through neglect
rather than Indifference. for surely
the value of the Library to our
town is fully understood and yet it
is not receiving the support really
necessary to its maintenance.
1t is the desire Of the Executive
Committee to keep on the shelves
at all times, a complete list of new
books for the circulating depart
ment. and at the same time add to
the splendid reference department
already established. and we earnest
" solicit cooperation IN carrying
out our plans. Please be ready TO

WCKSBURC PRESS ALMOST UNAN-
IMOUS AGAINST LIQUOR AND
THE BLIND TIGER.

The appended article from the
Times. Democrat, of Vicksburg, il
one of the best presentations of the
evil effects of liquor that we have
seen for some time; and the pleas
ing feature of this editorial is
reading it In this paper. However.
as the Times Democrat is now own
ed by good woman. the whiskey
blind tiger crowd. of Vicksburg,
need-not look for any encourage
ment in the future from that
source.
Now, If the Vicksburg Post
would turn on the blind tiger and
whiskey lawbreakers of the Hill
City the press would be unanimous
against them in Vicksburg.
Following is the article referred
to:
MANY foolish and dishonest peo-
pie frequently assert that the sale
of whiskey in a community is good
for business reasons.
1T is granted that this argument
is correct so far as the whIskey sell
er is concerned but in no possible
way. is the sale of whiskey benefit
Such argument is used, too, in favor
Of, Its unlawful sale by the misera-
BILE and hateful keeper of the blind
tiger and many otherwise good men
have grown up in the belief that
the unlawful sale of whiskey is a
trivial affair.
There is not one sound argument
that can be urged in favor of whis-
key. 1t is breeder of poverty and
crime, and a serious meLac2 to Or
ganized society 1t makes hovel
of the home, a slave of a wife. and
outcasts of the drunkard's S children
The incident that occurred in
Vicksburg in the past week that
might have led to the murder of
the Freight Agent of the Y. and
M. V. R r.. but for the prompt
service Of She 4PelisS,- y.~-s, tho ss-+a
of a good, Worthy and competent
man, who would not have harmed
a kitten but for the hateful and
influence of strong drink
This is a single recent incident that
is cited to show how good whiskey
is for business interests Would it
have made business good in the
home of the slayer if the police
had not interfered! Would busi.
ness have been good in the happy
home of the Freight Agent had
whiskey done its deadly work
through the agency of an otherwise
harmless man? Think of another
disgracefuI scene enacted in a pub
lie place on account Of the use of
whiskey. Whiskey makes business
good for the whiskey seller 1t
ruins and destroys all other busi-
ness."

WHISKY, PISTOL AND CIGARS : CHEAP
FOR THE MONEY.

The most damnable and morally
rotten advertisement we have noted
for long time we saw IN leading
State paper a few days ago. There
is only one redeeming feature about
it and that is the inference drawn
that our country has so imbibed
the spirit of righteousness and OF
prohibition, as the latter relates to
the liquor traffic, that in order to
get rid of "a bottle of bug juice"
a noted supply company makes ~ci-
gars the main attraction in its ad
for customers and fianks it with a
bottle of 100 Proof Rye or Corn"
and IS. and w. Model Safety Po-
lice 80 or SO Cal. Revolver. " the
two latter absolutely free with
the cigars.
Ye Gods and little fishes! Whis-
key has now to be GIVEN away to
get rid Of it! A man used TO be
willing to pay $500 a quart and
now to get him to take it at all he
has to be lured by tobacco and pis-
tolls and ALL for $3.48W.
And what lure for the young
citizens of our public schools and
churches intent upon stimulating
and inspiring to clean lives and no.
BILE living our boys and girls!
The world is getting better by
the evidence borne in this ad.
But God pity the little Rrasping
editor whose visisn is so restricted
and mind so impervious to the on
ward, upward. outward look for
higher and better life, that he
stoops to publish an ad such as we
have briefly referred to.
Whiskey-a pistol and tobacco
A pitiabIe combination that repre-
sents the bIoodiest crimes that have
stained our court records. and the
deepest damnation Of body and sou
