hope for q really fine concert oano

A great deal of interest has already

more than to see every seat In the

oppoT tunity for the general public TO

rather than as any desire to make
money and the price OF admission
has been made twenty-five cents Tor

begin until three o'clock, which Will
allow all to attend.

of the week of prayer service held last

a splendid address. and his topic was

George w. Barnes, has arranged a
carol service during which number

st. Andrew. The Sunday evening
services at St. Johns are attracting
large congregations. Their informal
character, the brief, direct addresses
Of the Rev. MI. Sage. and the tone OF
quiet peace pervading them. appeal
to many as a proper ending of Sun
day.

The armory proposition was again

phone yesterday, but was unable to
get IN touch with him. However, he
managed to make connections with
Lieutenant Brown Of Company L.

asked what steps had been taken here
to secure an armory. Following is the
letter which has been sent to General
Logan, signed by Mr.. Williams:

Democrat Sounds a Warning.
Editor Courier:

Editor Courier:
With the primary only about
ten days off, it behooves every
Democrat in Morgan county to
look we'll into the candidacy Of
every candidate and see what
forces are behind each mans
candidacy. In the legislative
race this is especially important.
1t would be we'll if the Democratic
voters of the county would in
quire into and see who and what
forces are backing each of the
candidates for this Office. If this
is done there will be no regrets
in the future, if we vote as good
Democratic conscience dictates.
AS one Democrat | do not want
the whiskey crowd to dictate to
me how | shall vote, and | think
that it is high time that we show
them that we are free and un-
trammelled voters who resent
the idea of having to be dictated
to in casting our votes. The
whiskey men want to control and
organize the next session of the
Legislature, and will have their
strikers and emissaries here to
tell you how to vote. 1t should
be the duty of those of us who
want the temperance idea to be
handled by temperance men to
watch well who these men are
supporting, and vote accordingly.
The thing to do is to vote against
the candidate who is backed by
the agents OF the Whlskey crowd
and of organized political greed
and Office brokerage.
We should look carefully into
this matter as it will vitally af-
feet us, not only in the legisla-
tion on the liquor question but
upon all other legislation. With
the whiskey men in control of
the legislature all matters of leg
islation will be made subservient
| to the interests OF that crowd,
and no bill can pass for anything
that does not have the 0. K. tag
OF the whiskey bosses on. it.
School legislation, farm legisla-
ton, good roads legislation, all
will have to beg to the liquor in
terests to get anything.
A DEMOCRAT.

Welcome Visitors.

On last Sunday delegation of
about twenty-five members of
the Jr. o. U. A. NJ, of Caney,
attended the Sunday School at
the Christian church here. The
arrangements were to have the
lodge meet with all the Sunday
Schools here in a union meeting,
but for some reason the plans
miscarried. The lodge is devot-
ing a great deal of time and en-
ergy to the encouragement and
upbuilding of the Sunday Schools
in the county, and frequently
visited the schools all over the
county. Mr.. Willie Elan, a
member of the lodge, notified
the Sunday schools here that he
would give to each pupil who at
tended Sunday School for two
months without missing a Sun.

The Juniors is a patriotic or,

work for good in the country,

Tell Us What You'll Do.

We have never had a candi-
date for office in Morgan county
who has not in some way claim
ed to be for good roads. After
they are elected they still favor
good roads, but they want the
other fellow to take the first step.
Among the present candidates
for County Judge and County
Attorney, they all say they are
in favor of good roads, but none
tell US what definite plans they
have in mind or what they ex-
pect to do if elected
Morgan county ought to be
ashamed of its backwardness in
the building of roads and it sure
ly is high time some definite plan
should be advocated which will
at least give us an improvement
over our present system.
A number of prominent citizens
of this community suggested that
we demand of the present can
didates for office, that they should
say more than they have said on
this question.
1t has been suggested that
those who are progressive on
this question should state their
views, not merely say. favor good
roads, but tell the people what
steps they expect to take to i'm
prove our roads. =
| know a number of good, in
fluential citizens in this comnhu-
nifty and | believe all good citi-
zens will support the candidate
or candidates who will outline a
plan of road-buildip :, that is
practical and possible.
What is your PIN Mr.. Candid
ate? Do you m san to favor good
roaps, like tie county officials
have done IN the past, or have
you the initiative to state your
planTand stand by it and carry
it nrough?
Advocating good roeds and
voting for men who favor good
roads is absolute worthless, un-
less something definite and practi-
cal is advocated and carried out.
Let every man, whois disgust
ed with the old worn out promise
of favoring good roads, support
the man who gives us the most
practical plan and who has the
ability and courage to carry it
out.
