Price Speaks at Spencer.
A. H. Price spoke to one of the
largest audiences ever gathered at
the Spencer Y. M. C. A. The
number was estimated at 600 and
many were turned away on ac-
count oi tnere oeing no room.
Mr. Price's speech, which was on
the prohibition issue, was a clear
loSical reasoning why the liquor
money spent in buying whiskey
and causing court expenses would
SUDDOrfe the besfe Bchoola in onr
COunty, and thatunder prohibi-
tioDj taxeB would bereduced to a
a minilinuln. On the whole the
Bpeech waa one of the beBt of ef.
fortg from an able exponent, and
