Mrs. W A Andeison.
A series of services will begin
to-night (Thuisday) at the Metho¬
dist church. All are invited to
attend. We call for help upon all
Christians who see the great need
of a thorough genuine revival
religion in our town. Gcd is will¬
ing to bless us—are we ready to
accept His compassionate offer of
salvation. There are many pre¬
cious souls to be saved and many
believers who are in need of quick¬
ening. This being true, we cannot
afford to be indifferent.
The North Georgi Association
held a very harmonious session
at Cool Spring latt week. The at'
teendance was large and the meas
tires discussed of interest to all
whose ptivilege it was to attend.
The Sunday services wera rained
out which was probably advanta¬
geous to the cause. God ha been
peculiarly lavorable to His chil¬
dren this year m sending rain on
Sunday of our camp meetings and
assodiation. Thus thwarting the
circus and parade devotees.

There are a great many cases on
the docket that were not ready for
trial at the above term of court.
Eugene W Beck, the Clayton,
Ga., wife murderer was taken from
his cell in the Gainesville .jail the
other day and carried to the town
in which the murder was commit¬
ted to stand his trial. After look¬
ing upon the ghastly form of his
lovely wife, Beck craved death, but
now since the passing of a num¬
ber ot months, he is content to
live. He declares if his life is
spared he will reiorm. The insan
ity dodge will De resorted to by
his counsel who are very able law¬
yers. This case gives a frightful
picture of what whisky will do for
a hitherto happy home. The hus¬
band sips the poisonous cup until
uatural affection is destjoyed, his
brain set on fire from hell's sul¬
phurous fountain, his manhood a
wreck, his hopes blighted, and then
with the fury of a devil incarnate
he cruelly murders the wife of his
bosom and mocks at the outpour¬
ing of her heart's blood. Our
blood chills at the indescribable
scene and we turn away and lilt our
voice to other men who drink the
cursed stuff and plead with them
to desist and profit by the example
of Eugene Beck, lest, a calamity as
dire in some moment oi' intoxica
tionovertake you.
Prohibition in Murray,
The liquor question is being more
universally discussed at the pres¬
ent than ever before, not only in
our own state, but in the different
states and most all the civilized
countrb s of the world- From ages
of experience humanity has learned
that intoxicating drink has sent
more curses upon the people than
a hundred other evils combined,
consequently the good citizens of
each country aro uniting in the
struggle to thrust the destructive
monster from their midst and save
the next generation from its ma
levolent influences. We do not
have to ask our readers to visit
some foieign place and there close
ly examine the effects of prohibi
tion, and then say whether it has
a beneficial tendency or not. But
let us only inspect the records of
our own county during the past
two years, or sinco the legal sale
of whisky has been voted out, and
we will find ourselves forced to
the conclusion that prohibiton
has proved to be vastly to the in¬
terest of the people, socially mor¬
ally religiously and financially. It
is tme that prohibition ia Murray
has not been entirely successful in
stoppping the sales of whisky
among our people for like all oth¬
er laws this has its violators. Our
laws against murder do not total¬
ly prevent this worst of crimes,
but only serve as a great protec¬
tion to the lives of our people,
and the more rigid our judiciary is
in executing these laws, just in
that proportion will they suppress
the commission of the crime. We
in Murray county, have prohibition
and it is the duty of al. good citi¬
zens who feel an interest in the
morals of the county, to do all in
their power to enforce the prohi¬
bition laws and thereby stop the
eale of whisky in our midst. We
believe that whisky has been con¬
stantly sold in our town dur.ng the
past year, in the face of the courts
and the law, and now the people
have become tired of this pest,
and all law abiding citizens are
anxious to see it suppiessed. In
our opinion a man can engage in
nothing that will bring more dis
tressing scenes on the community
in which he moves, than selling
whisky, even if it were recognized
i by the laws of the land. How
shall this imposition on society be
endured? Willjtke parents of this
country allow tne characters of
their children ruined, and their fu¬
ture blighted on account of the
sale and distribution of poisonous
red liquor, when they might by
simply acting in accordance with
the dictates ot duty have it imme
dial ely suppressed? If you have
an old craving, hankering appetite
for strong drink which you think
beyond your control and must be
satiated at the risk of health and
hell, steal away at the silent hours
of night and procure from him who
is engaged in propagating crimes
and crushing intellects, that Plu¬
tonic potion, and suicide your life
and soul secretly; and while thus
engaged in self murder be sure
and close your doors m order that
your example may not be seen,
nor your influence felt beyond
your own hearth-stone. We hope
that the people may become so
thoroughly awake on this subject
that a grog shop or tippling room,
neither public nor secret, cau be
found in the state of Georgia.
Then will the people have gained
a victory for which humanity and
posterity will unite in chanling a
chorus of glory and gladness.
