Nealy thirty years ago Mr.. r. A.
Buford, Mr. R. L. Anderson. the then
coloroi senator, H. w. Chandler and
the cd'tor of this paper made a thor

placinc it in the dry" column, but
two years later it deserted the prohi-
bitiOr standard and has remained
out in the wet" until yesterday
when the temperance workers who
have never ceased their efforts in all
those intervning years, succeeded at
at last in again bringing the county
under the protecting shield of the
prohibition colors.
Too much credit for this victory
cannot be accorded 20 the good wom
en- who. with the faithfulness and
vieilance of the yeStal virgins, have
been oeaseless in their efforts and
left 10 stone unturned to win the
victory that came yesterday in an
swer,d to their prayers.
