Ilemv Ward Beecher has been ili

The police of Athens do not aver
age an arrest a fortnight, while

biohil.iitioii is a great moral reform

Prohibition is working wonders
in Dallas and Paulding county.
Men who, when whiskey was sold
her*, w.re half the time under its
influence, are now total abstainers,
and instead of spending their time
in revelry, are industrious ci izens.
Not only this, but tjic moral and
religious sta'us of the town and
vicinity is a hundred per cent,
above what it was before prohibb
tion went, into effect. This is all
apparent to outside lookers on, but
we ar m t prepared'to say how

children, fathers and mothers, has

THOUGHTS ON THE SITUATION.
We are approaching a crisis in the histo
ry ot our county. The test will soon be made.
We shall soon know who are the friends o
temperance, of morality an 1 Re'i'ion. The
ilques are too vast the responsibilites too
great for anything like a teaipor sing policy.
As advocates of the righb as the friends of
our race, we would not. be derilect in this
hona of trial. We would not be unfeeling
to the anguish of wives and mothers- We
would not close our eyes to poverty and rage
and the unvoiced sorrows of the widows and
theorpbant. With heart and soul we enter
I into tiie conflict- .’’Thrice armed is he who
. bath his quarrel just.” Tnen on ye braves.”
i the sua or AusterUts is iu the ascendant. We
I expect to sneoee Iby fair mian*. Shall use
no specious argument. It is the cause of
God anil humanity. And when our work- is
accomplished we shall havetie thanks of a
graatful people, of wives and mothers the
smileof approving heaven, and the plan
dits of posterity,We are making histo’y, and
coming will feel the influence of
what we none. The signs are encouriug
The moral Seud meats of the age is increa -
ing. Legislators S.re les» timid to approach
the sublet am. 1 grapple with the mammoth
eviL Evon men Addicted to intemperance
are anxios <vr prohibition. They wish the
temptation removed, they know how hard
it is to resist. The b< rning thirst which has
so often unsettled thsir purposes, and turn*
ed topsy turvy every good promise and reso"
lutlpn. Shall we fail to help them.—Shall
wedisopoiut their hopes have we no heart
that beats responsive to the pitying heavens
Nerveless should be the Arm that doe, not
t ry to snatch these brands from the burning.
We must succeed—we m ust not fail. The
Christian the Patriot, and the Philanthro
pist may well stand appalled before the
great evil o' the age. The unblushing crimes
which were not partic ilaized in the burning
Decalogn —the trooping diseases, and
deaths in multiform ways that follow in its
train. One vision of the Apocalypse puts
it in a strange form, when he saw death on
apalehorso md h’l fallowed with him-There
is no time for studied arguments, for elab
orate discussion, you have but to open your
eyei ai d see, and facts are stubborn things.
Wnat is it tbatfihsyourj ails & penitentiaries
that crowds your courts with trials for mar
der.au i vexitioni iitiga’ion, increasing ex
penditures and the burden of heavy' taxes
Wnatis it th v blights the hopss of the young
and crushes the he »iti of the prrents. What
is it that paralyzes the Industries of t e
country, and clogs ths wheels of progress,
and which like a gri rding despotism is
death to all the Institu ions for wbifih Wash
ington fough L , and Leemen died.
The great factor & parentage is found in
the mauutacture wholesale and retail of ar
dent spirits. There is the box ot pando—the
fruitful worao of death. In oar head, of
hearts, we would save sueJ men if wecouldi
but the pitying Angel has Its; uncounted
thousands to their doom. How many have
