TO OPPOSE REPEAL
E-QUART WHISKEY LAW

Ho udnRer ana VIII not go TO the polls
We must take nothing for granted
Let every lover of home, every love
of peace and good order in town an,
country make himself or herself
committee of one to see that thos
who have run the Saloons out go t,
the polls and register once agar
their disapproval of the sale of in
toxicating liquors.
The Legislature passed the law il
good faith. 1t is on our statute
books just like any other law and is
pinching the toes of the whiskey in
terests, hence the fight they have
started in the hope of Slipping one
over" the women and the children of
Mississippi. The children of the
State cry out for help in this hour
for their sakes let's not loosen the
law, but if possible tighten it.
We can see the sun rising on the
day of Nationwide prohibition. The
handwriting is on the wall. The
glad tidings como from every quar-
ter of this great Union. Mississip-
pi. in this as we'll as in many other
things. has blazed the way and for
the sake Of our Sainted dead and for
the sake Of the great heritage left us
by our fathers and mothers. let no
black spot be placed on the good
name of our beloved State by taking
any backward step in regard to the
sale Of whiskey, The battle cry is
onwaid. not backward; upward. not
downward.
We repeat that we hope the friends
of good order. of churches, homes
and Sunday Schools in Grenada
county will see to it that a proper
interest is taken in this fight.
The ballot to be voted will be a
long one. The one-quart-at-the-time
law will appear on the ticket with
two other laws to be submitted; urge
everybody to cast a White Ballot by
voting "For-"
Let US not be deceived by the
C.ietude of the contest the whiskey
crowd is making; they are busy.
They will run but not until they find
out that the friends of prohibition
are awake and on their trail.
The fight is going to be won. Come
and help share in the victory. There
is no doubt about the result when
the good people Of Mississippi get in
action and they are getting in action
and will rout the whiskey interests
hose, foot and dragon on election
day.
The City officers of Grenada will
bear witness to the fact that the n e
quart-at-the-time law has cut off the
blind-tiger business IS per cent; the
records of the entire county show a
similar result. What is true of this
county is also largely rue of every
other county in the State. We can
not believe that. with these facts be-
fore him. any thoughtful citizen of
Grenada county will cast a ballot
that will tend to increase the blind
tigers business.
We earnestly appeal to every faith
er and mother and to the good iudg-
ment Of every mar and woman in
Grenada county.

following named men and women of
