Fl. r. MOORE
Of Huntland, Tenn.

Huntlsnd, Tenn, Sept. s.
Especial. Mr.. and Mrs. II. K.
Moore celebrated their fifty-ninth
wedding anniversary at their home
in Huntland on Friday. their ten
living children being with them for
the happy occasion.
Horace R. Moore, of Tishomingo
county, Miss, a member OF pioneer
North Carolina family, was married
to Miss Annie E, Hunt on Sept. 5,
1850, in the house at Huntland i,
where they have lived continuously
for 50 years.
Miss Hunt was the only daughter
of Clinton Armstrong Hunt. the
Grst white child born in franklin
county. Mr.. and Mrs. Moore were
students together at old franklin
College, near Nashville. under Prof.
Tolbert Tanning, graduating in the
late '50s. Mr.. Moore is now SO
years old, and his wife is 49, Both
are active physically and in full
possession Of their mental faculties
! Mr.. Moore has always been a
leader in movements for the up
building of his community through
educational and civic channels. He
and Mrs. Moore have been members
and active workers in the Christian
church since their franklin college
days.
Mr.. Moore served through the
civil war as a captain in Nathan
Bedford Forests cavalry. He sur
rendered at Meridian, Miss. in
May, 1855. He was a member OF
the Tennessee Legislature soon after
the state had been wrested from
the carpet-bag regime. and was the
author of the famous four mile law
which has formed the basis
of temperance legislation all over
the country. He was an ardent
prohibitionist in the days when that
cause was not popular in Tennessee.
lie was nominated for congress by
the prohibitionists in the Fifth con-
gressional district in the COS, and
made a vigorous campaign. He
rejoices that he has lived to see the
overthrow. of whisky not only in HE
own state, but all over the country.
Beginning in 1910, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Moore celebrated their fiftieth
anniversary, Sept. 9Th each year is
celebrated by reunion OF their
children at the old home. Mr..
Moore is a brother of Mr.. ]. ].

Profit OF Prohibition.

The financial argument against
prohibition is the weakest one Of
all. Those who favor the sale of
liquor are constantly calling attfn-
ton to the loss of revenue from
licenses and liquor taxes, telling US
that the national government COL
lected SAB, 100000 of revenue in
1918 on the manufacture and sale
OF liquor.
Where did the money come from?
1t did not come from the brew
ers, the distillers and the saloon
keepers-not a single penny of it.

liquor, who paid the revenue taxes,
