w.e.T.jj. There will be a meeting at the hall oh Saturday afternoon at 2:30. Owing to the rain on last Saturday no business was transacted. The following is going the rounds of the papers: “Pres ; dent Harrison drinks as much now as he eyer did,” said a frequenter of the executive mansion. “That amount is small. But he neither makes a a show of it, nor does he afiect think its influence evil. He has wine upon his table at dinner and partakes as he would of any other part of menu. The President may have his shortcoming but he is hyprocrit. If he no didn’t like wine he wouldn’t drink it. As he does like it he drinks it, and drinkit he will continue to do. whether the prohibitionists like it or not.” There is not a “Paddy from Cork," who drinks h is whisky for any other reason than because he wants it, but if he goes home and breaks his shelalah over his wife’s head, the fact that he is not a hypocrit will not be set down as greatly to his credit. It is barely possible that after this term Mr. Harrison may not drink his wine as President. Candidates for office have been defeated heretofore by temperance people, and they may be again, and notwithstanding the above sneering boast, the man, or President who professes to be a Christian, with the light of. the lasi decade of the nineteenth century shining in upon his soul, and yet in defiance of that light, habitually drinks wine at his table, and thus sets a pernicious examplewill be regarded by the true Christian people as a hypocrit. . At the Catholic Total Abstinence convention I ather Patrick O’Brien turning tc o tr National President, Miss Willard, the last night of the convention said: “Tbanl God the unreasonable prejudice that haseparated the Catholic and Protestant workers in this sacred cause has passed away forever. Though I cannot kneel be side you at the alters of religion, I rejoice in these blessed modern days, when I can kneel with you at the holy alter of oui common protection.” It is said that in briefest terms, the tempeance creed of the Catholic Total Abstinance Union is this; “There is a little public house That everyone can close. And that’s the little public house That’s just beneath the nose.” Father Mcßenna says, “Prohibition not license is our best public policy tp-day.” Come, Let Us Reason Together. Editor Democrat:—My object in this article is to show by facts and figures what institutions to. support and which ones not. I will first take my own busi ness (the milling business}. I have been in tne milling business about twenty-five years; have expended thousands of dollars in the first place in building the mill, since that, from time to time spent thousands of dollars in putting in improved machinery for the benefit of the town and community. Now, in showing up the difference be tween my business and some other busi nfss that is springing up in our town I will give the facts and figures. I want every one that reads this article to read it care fully, and take your pencil and figure after me. Now, every grist of wheat that is exchanged at my mill is manufactured into flour and sold and the money kept at home in circulation. Every load of wheat we buy ot the farmers, say 25 bushels, if we pay 90 cents per bushel, which makes $22.50, we expect to make five barrels of flour. It we send it to Bluffton, or anywhere else, and we get $4 6c per barrel, which makes $23.00, you see we get a little more money back than we paid out and put in circulation at home. How is it with those exchange and grocery stores that handle foreign flour. Every bushel of wheat that you exchange is sold and the money sent out of circulation here at home. For instance, they go 3 way from home and buy 100 barrels of flour and pay $450 per barrel, will amount to $450; this money is sent from home to some other place to be put in circulation to build up some other city or community instead of our own Same thing with the grocery stores. Every foreign sack that is sold by them, not less than $1.20, is sent away from home out of circulation. Now, let us see how much goes out of circulation by ther.i £n ope year. I will ask how many sac gs of ijopr is sold in our own town in one d*y? | will about twenty sacks at $1.20, at cost price $24.00 for one day, for thirty days, $720.00, for twelve months $8,640 sent out of our town and country instead of supporting our home manufactory that will keep i*. imputation $8,720.00 every year. Isn’t it astonishing to ihij,k £tf ft? Are the people so ignorant that they cannot see their own interest better than that? I will appeal to the laboring man that has to labor for $125 a day, remember $1.20 pf your hard earned money for every sack of to»e»gn fionr you buy goes out of circulation here at hu.ee jg long as you buy and support those that deal in flour we do not want to hear you complain thai times are hard—no money; can’t you trust me for a sack of flour for a short time? I have often heard business men say if we only had more manufacturing in our city it would be better. Why don’t you support those that are here? We have three as good mills as there are in the state and tum out as good a grade of flour as anyone can. What are you benefitted by buving his foreigh flour? Do you get any i&Gie flour for your money, or do yeu get better flour? Please I would say again to those men that are engaged in handling foreign flour you take $24.00 per day, $720 00 per month, $8,640.00 per year. Won’t this affect business consid erably? I will challenge anyone that is this business that takes exceptions to my view* oft JJils subject, to discussion of the subject in puojjgh the newspaper, if they will do their own yrjiing and I will do mine. I will take possession of the City Mills on the J2th day of, this month and all those that will favor me with their custom I will give 36 pounds of good flour for every 60 pounds of wheat. I will do away with the wheat tester and promise you fair and honest dealing as I always have done. J. S. II art, Prop’r City Mills. P. S—l don’t wish in this' article to injure anyone’s business only as far as dealing in this foreign flour is concerned. J.S.H. .. • a I?-:*..- • -

Height ot cruelty. Nervous women seldom receive the sympathy they deserve. While often the pfetures of health, they are constantly ailing. To withhold sympathy from these unfortunates is the height of cruelty. They have a weak heart, causing shortness of breath, fluttering, pain in side, weak and hungry spells, and finally swelling of ankles, oppression, choking, smothering and dropsy. Dr. Miles New Heart Cure is just the thing tor them. For their nervousness, headache, weakness, etc., his Restorative Nervine is unequaled.
