While the work of the White Eibboners is to enlighten the motherhood and youth of our land, as to the baleful e^ect of alcohol on mind, morals'ft nd soul, and thus prevent -the ensnaring of the innocent and unwary, it is also in sympathy with and engaged in all kinds of rescue work, hence we, the ladies of the W. C. T. U. should give our sympathy and hearty support as far as possible and pledge to uphold all such work by our prayers and praise. While we still do all we can to prevent inebriety, we are glad this institute has been directed to our place, for our hearts are often wrung by seeing our young men, yea even boys whom we know by name beginning uumistaaaUy this^inareh of dishonor and ruin. A man of our town was heard to say in reference to this institution, ‘-That beats prohibition ” We ware glad to have it commended but this is only a peep at one side of the questiou, for far better is it never to need tue cure by never being drawu into the toils of disease and 6in. by liquors being thrust in our faces and homes at every turn, than to fall and then be rescued; but this is far better than staying down. So let the rescue and also the pro; Tentative go on together and don’t lorget—» you temperance loving people—to pray as well as do, and do as well as pray. Allie E. Law, Editress. ,

Editor Democrat—I am frequently informed that it is common rumor that I exercise undue influence over the democratic trustees of JPike county, in the election of county superintendent of our public schools; and not wishing to be longer misrepresented in this matter I now say that I haye but a common interest in this matter, and am trying to attend srrietly to my own business, and presume that the trusteesjare fully competent to discharge the duties of the'office to which they have been elected without any advice of mine. So far they haye done very well without my assistance as they very well know. Several parties have written to me to use my influence for the election of certain gentlemen to the office, blit 1 now say once for all, that 1 will have nothing whatever to do with this matter, j. W. Richardson.
