The regular meeting of the W. C. T. U. will be held in their hall on Saturday (tomorrow) at 2:30 p. m. Let all the members be present. Loyal Temperance Legion meeting at 4 p. m. on Sunday, It may seem strange, but it is nevertheless true, that alcohol regularly applied to the thriftv farmei's stomach will remove the boards from the fences, let the cattle ; nto his crops, kill his fruit trees, mortgage his farm, ai d sow his fields with wild cats and thistles. It will take the paint off his buildings, break the glass out of his windows and fill them with rage. It will take the gloss from his manners, subdue his reason, arouse his passion, bring sorrow and di-grace upon his family, and topple him into a drunkard’s grave. It will do this to the artisan and lhe capitalist, the matron and the maiden, as well as the farmer, for in Its deadly enmity to the human race alcohol is no respecter of persons.—S loci’, Farm and Home. All W. C. T. U. women in their annual conventions are protesting against the Sunday opening of the World’s exposition. Conventions, synods and conferences of ministers of almost all denominations are doing the same. Let us retain opr American Sundy. The question of admitting women to the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church has beep discussed fro ,and con for months past ip the church papers. We trust that it is also being discussed in social gatherings and that the intelligent men and women of the church will be ready, as the time of action is at hand, to cast an intelligent vote. It is within the recollection of the writer that it was thought by sofne conservative individuals, that the “heavens would fall” it lay representatives were admitted lo the general conference and the Same class of pei sons are predicting terrible calamities to follow the admission ot women to the conference, but as the Zion Herald neatly puts jt, ‘‘ln the nineteenth rentury predictions do not count for arguments.” That paper also has tfiis to say Jo Methodist women; ‘‘ln this canvass you hgve the opportunity of a lifetime. Be sure to vote! Vote early! Vote on the sjde of progress!” The connection between above para graph and temperance, pray pot be apparent to all. Seme will see, hpweyer, that they will fit nicely together. The ladies of the W. C. T. U. desire through this column to express their sincere thanks to all who sp kindly assisted in making the “Milkmaid’s Convention” so decided a success. $24 50 were the net pro ceeds./ ' i, The Democrat’s displav of agricultural products is Attracting the attention of th.e farmers and quite a number of thrm have favored us with samples since our last report.

Monroe Items. Blessed are the rich for Uiey shall inherit the earth. We will have to “sbutt” before we vote this load of polls. ’Fquire Merryman has been dangerously sick, for the past ten days, with malarial fever. Rev. Eegv will preach in the Hall at Monroe on next Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night, Samuel Wagoner, who was stricken so suddenly with rheumatism, is able to be up but cannot navigate far at a time. He is entirely out of danger at present. V. B. Simcoke wants to hire a young man to clerZ- in his store this winter. Must come well recommended and be qualified to fill the position. Come immediately. There was a large crowd at the speech of A. N. Martin,at Monroe, Tuesday night of last week, if it did rain in torrents. The Republican portion of the audience were well pleased with his remarks. C. W. Hocker has received a mammoth stock of dry goods of ail kinds, gro ceries, notions, boots a'te shoes, hats and caps. h-'rdw\rv, qaeensware and woodenware. The stock of goods is the largest ever brought to Monroe and Chris says he will sc4l at the lowest prices and will not be undersold by any of his competitors in Bluffton or Decatur. Be jabers if iver ye want to see a foine business roc m and a foine winter coat the walls have received, and chuck full ol foine groceries, ipreign and domestic o' iverv ‘ variety, plase call at Donovan & Ccffee’s whin ill Decatur. Ye will niver mate more agreeable and pleasant gintie min in the city. Their stock is complate and tastefully arranged 4 and the best the market affords. Their immense trade demanded a large stock and they have.it Highest market prices paid for eggs and butter. To all whom this may concern: The old lady who was absent for several weeks, has just returned from her travels through the Eleventh congressional district. She says she has been looking after the interest of the Democratic party and expresses a wish to vote for A. N. Martin. She has been dodging around smong Republicans and heaid them speak very favorably of Mr, Martin, the present Democratic con gres>man, who is a candidate for re-elec-tion. She has heard the old Republican soldieis and their sons say that they had not forgotten the little and big favors they received from Mr. Marlin during the past two jears, in securing pensions and increase of pensions and answerii g all letters of inquiry pr< inptly while he was at his post in congress, thereby saving delays of months, perhaps years, in securing claims that were justly due the old soldier, widow and children. Consequently the old soldier and his friends will vote for the man who will go to congress and boldlv vote and work lor thei r interests and volt s-quarely against rich monopolies, tiusts, and unnecessary appropriations, supporting such laws as will tavor justice and build up the government, instead of tearing down the righ’.s and privileges of lhe people and creating untold misery. She says, ‘T feel patriotic, I feel as though I must give vent to my feelings by yelimg, ‘ Rah! for Martin!” “And Mr. Itemizer, I know he is in tavor ot the farmers’ organizing for home protectoin and he will stand by them, because we know he is a man of truth and veracity. His bold public declarations will be remembered by the sons of toil and labor. There is greater interest mamtpstid than ever before for Mr Mai tin. She don’t think strange ot Dr. O. '“P, Merton Andrews kicking against the sayings of Mr. Martin and his doings in congress. She says it's nature, for the doctor -• was vaccinated with the same Re publican virus that his father was; also born and tutored a Republican and bears a part of his name from the old illustrious war governor, Oliver P. Mor ton, and the rankest Republican of his day. It’s laughable and pleasing to see Demo crats fgel sp encouraged. They work late and early. We saw Byron Dent and Mark McConnell last Saturday morning at Monroe, very early in the morning. They, too, seemed to be encouraged and hope that every Democrat will torn out and swell the majority. The pld lady can’t understand the convention of the “Milkmaids,” held at Deca tur nst long sinct. We tojd her, perhaps, it was for the purpose of advancing the price of milk, caused by the McKinley bill. The old lady seemed to be surprised, and asked who tfiat McKinley “Bill” was —that fheje yvas §0 much talk about. Is he any relation so Bujfalo Bill? We answered that he was but very little- Buffalo Bill is more honorable. He did not rob the people as did the McKinley ‘'‘Bill.” Buffalo Bill was not so sneaking but would do all his dirty work bravely and lone handed, l>ut McKipley “Bill” has to have a v jrole army of confederates to help him into a spriipe and out pf c.pe! Old lady, don’t iou know tfiat McKjntey is now a congressman? “Oh, yes, I hearn of it.” Mr. Warwick is the Democratic candid rte ferninst McKinley “JJill”for the same office. Yes 3P'A I understand now. Well; Warwick will help him out of the worst scrape McKinley eyer got put of n<xt Npvember. The train is ip waitipg for me, so good day. .
