THE HAMILTON JOURNAL.
THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF HARRIS COUNTY.
VOL. XIII.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Our friend of the Savannah Local
has something to ask of us. He Ot
to ask and he shall receive.
The Buena Vista Sentinel has a
candidate for Governor, whom it
will announce in due time. So far
the field is not crowded, but until a
better or a bigger man is announced
Brother ReviU has our allegiance. A
successlul country editor will make a
model Governor.
“The prohibitionists will take away
now your right to buy whiskey when
vou need it. The next thing they
will want to stop you from chewing
tobacco.” So argues Curtis Beall.
If you condemn that which is wrong
now, it will encourage somebody to
ask you to give up that which is
right, after awhile. Such is his reas
oning. But is it nojt reasonable to
suppose that if you do that which is
right now, you will have more strength
to do that which is right after awhile.
The November number of Baby¬
hood contains an article which, if
read and thoroughly digested by half
the mothers of recent arrivals in the
human family, could not fail to add
materially to their mutual comfort,
to say nothing of vanquishing, in ad¬
vance, the dyspepsia with which many
babies are destined to find themsel¬
ves handicapped in a few years. The
writer is an eminent physician and
his theme is “Colic.” Other topics
of interest to mothers, from Lacteal
Sterility to safety pins, are treated
moie or less elaborately. fi8 Spruce

The Nation (New York) offers a
“trial subscription” of two months to
new readers for a 5 cents-half rate
The Nation is a weekly review of
politics and of literature, from an
independent standpoint, conducted
with the aid of the most competent
writers obtainable. The list of con
tributors whose services are thus en
listed includes most of the leading
names in literature, science art, phi
losophy, and law in this country, and
many abroad. The Chicago Dial
cently remarked: “It is not too
much to say of the Nation that no
single agency has done so much in
the past twenty years to advance and
dignify the calling of journalism in
America. In all aarts it has been
singularly able and impartial, and its
success is a cause of gratification in
which American scholars will generally
share snare, ” While not professing y to be
a newspaper, the Nation ye* gives a
carefully edited “news summary,” in
thc best shape of permanent record,
JOSEPH L. DENNIS,
PROPRIETOR.
Johnson’s journal exhibits signs of
well-merited prosperity in increasing
its size from 16 pages to 32 pages
and a cover. This “Illustrated Mag
azine for the People,” as its sub-title
defines it, was established 1874, but
a change was recently made in its
shape and contents, and its appeal
t0 a wider public has been so success
ful that the readers want more of it
-hence the enlargement. The issue
of November 14 contains, among
other profusely illustrated and timely
articles, one on “Riel and His Re
bellion”; another on “The Theatre of
Conflict, in Central Asia”; another on
Civilization and Savagery in Afri:a,’'
being the humorous experience and
exploits of a missionary in that dark
continent; and a full page of sketches
showing how cattle are brought from
the West to supply the Eastern and
European markets. There are also
illustrated book reviews,and a number
of bright and readable articles on
miscellaneous topics and questions of
the hour. In this number, too, be¬
gins a powerful serial story, written
for the journal, and entitled “Love
in Summer Seas,” dealing with life
in New York and the tropics. The
departments have been increased in
number, and are all well filled, This
popular literary magazine, of which
each page sparkles with interest, is
published every other week by W.* j.
johnston, 9 Murray st., New York.
The price is only io cents a copy, or
$2 a year, and it may be ordered of
any newsdealer.
PROmBTflON THOUGHTS.
Prohibition has been given a fair
trial in LaGrange, Newnan, Jones
boro, Marietta, Dalton, and many
other towns in the state. Recently
the Atlanta papers have published
carc j s f rom the business men of these
places showing that trade has not
been hurt by prohibition, although
t h e mora lity of the people has been
improved. bale
At least five dollars of every
of cotton raised in Harris county
goes for whiskey. This money can
be turned by prohibition into other
other channels. It you think this
woul I benefit the county, then vote
for prohibition.
Prohibition is designed to prevent
men from selling, because the effect
is to keep men from dnnkingwhiskey.
It is not legislating men into good
ness, but removing temptation from
them by legislation.

be enjoyed by all who attend. There
will be reading by Mr. O. S. Barnes,

Curtis Beall held his whiskey con¬
vention Saturday afternoon. A full
house was present, and'a majority of
them were in sympathy with him.
He read the call, was elected chair¬
man and made a whiskey speech. A
number present were too full of the
subject to hear the speech, but they
knew it was to their taste and so
they applauded unreservedly. Others
look in the subject and the speech
in equal proportions, and the com¬
bination intoxicated them. Altogeth¬
er we have never heard such an ad¬
dress to such an audience. It was
what they wanted and when they got
it they were satisfied. So much so
that they did not care to hear more,
only a few remaining to heir joe
Trippe, of Macon, or Elder Upshur
of LaGrange, both of whom spoke
for temperance. The speech of Cur
tis changed no votes—he seemed
to be afraid that the replies to it *
might, as he led his followers off. He
has not lost his grip—he seems to be
afraid he will lose it.
