Mr. Tou was very gracefully in
troduced by Mr. T. W. Bickett, and
the popular and highly esteemed
Congressman, toot his text and wnt
directly at the work for 'which he
ms "called to do." His subject,
"The true Aristocrat of the 2(Hb

J 1 :;
quently, and when he had finished
bis large audience felt richly paid for
coming out.
Notes.
The essays of Misses Hester and

both showed evidence of much
thought and application. These
young ladies are the first graduates
of the school.
The many promotion cards were
gladly received by the little girls and
boys. ' ' c '
Superintendent Mills and his ex
cellent corps of teaches, composed of

The Franklin Cottage.
Thia U the name of a new cottage
at Virginia Beach, Va., which will
be under the management of Mrs. J.
R. Collie and Mrs. Asa Parham, of
Louisburcj. They left this week, ao
companied by Mr. J. R.Colhe, to
take charge. The cottage which was
opened on Wednesday ot this week,
is beautifully located with all modern
conveniences large airy rooms on
ocean front. Rates . are reasonable
will be furnished on application.
Ibese ladies know the wants of those
who go to the seashore, and their
guests may expect tke yery best at
tention possible.
Two men went up into the Temple to 'pray : the . one
pharisee and the other a publican. : - : : ':
. The jpharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,. tG6d;
I thank Thee that I am not as othei men are, extortioners,
unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican." : h '
"And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift, up
so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon -his breast
saying, "God be merciful to me a sinner."
I tell you this man went down to -hifl housed justified
rather than the other. - V
, no. n.
Two men went up to the polls to vote; the one a drunk
ard, the other a member of the church.
The drunkard stood with bowed head and said, "Lord,
have mercy -on me, a poor miserable drunkard. Deliver
me from the toils of this monster and help me to put this
temptation far from me," and reaching out a nervous tremb
ling hand, the poor drunkard cast a vote for prohibition. '
The member of the' church stood and prayed thus with
himself, "God, I thank Thee, that I am not as other men
are weak, wavering, unable to stand in the face of temptation-
even as this miserable drunkard.1 And wrapping
himself in the mantle of his self-righteousness, he voted
for the sale of liquor. The question is:
"Which of these two voters went down from the polls
y justified?
' ' .
WHAT SHALL I BO?
This question is troubling many good men in Franklin
county.. The question implies a doubt.' Are you in doubt?
Give your-wife and child the benefit of the doubt. t
Give your pastor, who would die for you, the benefit of
the doubt. v
-. Give your church the benefit of the doubt .
' Give your influence, as a member of the church, the ben- "
, efit of the doubt.
kj.; Will it hurt your influence, as a member of the church,
X't6yot for uiesai'of liquor? .-: - - .
If you cannot vote prohibition then dont vote for liq
uor. Don't vote at all. , ,
You mayjTgret voting for liquor. The vote may rise up
and torment you in the shape of a drunken son, or son-in-law.
You can never regret that you did not vote for liquor.
H0T BY MY VOTE?
. .These four words wDl answer all arguments ' on this
question: "Not by 'my;frote., If they, say to us, "Men will
have it we ca x answer,
"NOT BY MY VOTE."
"If another sayst "Men will sell it'. again we reply,
"NOT BY MY TOTE'- -If
we are told, we must be politic, we answer,
"NOT BY MY YOTE.
I am not bound to abolish, the saloon, but only my in
terest in it. My vote may not -Kurt the saloon, but I am
bound to vote right all the sanL. Saloons may go on, like
the bro,ok, forever.. Men may die in them like, .flies, and
hell grow fat on drunkards. Girls may be betrayed and
boys baited hell wards. TrutlT may be wrecked and char
acter dismantled. . Homes may be distroyed V and women
children beggared? - '
"BUT NOT BY MY VOTE.'
