Step by step, tho wets have becu, pushed down.

Because, It offered a ready chance to get a hear'

But the thing in wholly illogical, aud ridicu

he knows, or ought to know, that lie la laying

just depends on tho ratio vf depravity of the
maker or wile of the stuff be drinks.
On the other hand, alcohol is a habit forming
poison. Prohibition, tint prevent the formation
of the habit isn't responsible for h result of

AN AMAZING RECORD..
Tho Wilson chamber of eopimerco lias published

Wilfon county. Yet so much is raised there every
f year that Wilson as a "county ia amoug""tho most
prosperous of all the counties' of the United Btates.
Ten years ago when the ceusus was taken, the a
usened valuation of oil the forms in Wilson county
was a lihle over tkrco"mitlioii dollars. The aver
age value of farm lands then was about thirty
fivd dollars. What the value of the farms today
can be told only when the census is completed
or tha revaluations made known. Certainty it
will be mueh higher. Good farm land in Wilson
today scares nobody at two or three hundred an
acre, but, if we figure on one hundred, the land
on the farm of Wilson.woiild.be worth ten mil
