iS 9M|pm|PPPi!ppipnP|MH 'r ®i-, : =“* ^ i, '^*MK \, SHOULD ELECT BETTER MEN WOODMEN CELEBRATE Dear Mr. Jones: I have attended nearly all the sessions of the cotirt of enquiry in vestigating the oondnct of Police Jndge Jnnius Q. Adams. From this trial three things st'and ont distinctly in my mind. First, the Guzette-News is to be highly com mended for its courage in giving the facts to the public uvhich made this investigation npcessary. Sec ondly, the men specially interested in the conviction of the Judge were all moved largely by personal ani mus. All of them had beeii given more or less troi^ljp) in their illegal or qnostionable business by the police court. One of these men ad mitted on oath that hig interest in the case was partly an effort “t-o strike buck.” But my deepest impression from this investigation is that any city or community will find it hard to enforce the prohibition law till it can put in office a different type of eitiz('n from that of Judge Acliims. As long as the police judge habitu ally ]iutronizes the whiskey deal ers—buying theif products for his | ov;n use and collects bills for them in ]irobibition territory—the peo ple will resent his intei-fercnce with them, even if they do go a lit tle over the mark set by the law. No one will effectively enforce a law against others as long as his own conduct is out of harmony with this law. I should like to take this oppor tunity to urge that we select for oiricf only those men whose pri vate lives are right. No man will be itn]n-oved in character simply by electing him to office. In office he will live up to, and not above, the standard of his private life. So let us make uj) our minds that, whatever be our ])olitical party alliliations, we will nominate and elect only good men for office. We owe this to ourselves, our neigh bors, and esoecially to the boys and girls, the citizens of tomorrow. Yours respectfully, J. C. OWKN. Wednesday nigbt wus distinctive ly a Woodmen’s night, and doubt less will be “remembered for a long time by fiftv or more sovereigns that gathered together for the pur pose of enjoying themselves. More than fifty Woodmen were in the hall when the officers for the ensuing term were installed by Mr J. L. Aiken. After tho installation' the entire party went to the^oyal Cafe where a f.'ast was served by the manage ment of that place that would be a credit to a large city On the menu was to be found oysters, chicken, fried and otherwise, turkey, cran berry sauce, salads, cake; coffee, and many other good thinsrs. The Woodmen had been told that these good things were in store and they brought their tti>i)eliU‘S with them Every one present^votfd this fea ture a success, and all praised Mr. W’hitmire and Mr. Smathers for the exfjollellent service. After the banquet it was found that one cake had been left un touched and it was proposed to have a popular voting contest to see who would get the cake, the money received to go into the char ity fund of tho lodge. Mr. Fred Johnson and Mr. John Morris were the candidates seleciod by the two teams chosen by Ca])tuins .W. H. Grogan and J. L. Aiken. At the end of the contest it was found that Mr. Johnson had . received :U15 votes and Mr. Morris 201)5. Mr. .folinson has announced that the cuke will be ehop]M>d into small ])ieces next \VednesUay night and that every Woodtnan who attends the meeting at that time will re ceive a ])ioce of the S5H cake. mediate results. TheoldeBj visitor present was authorized to name a committee which should gi 'e shape to tho course outlined in the form of a constitution and byk^NSand to report to hn adjourned meeting to be 'held Thursday, 7 :!if> p. m., next. The committee announced is Mr. C. R. Sharp and Mii^ses Bell and May Bryson. All the above was inteimingled with music and select reatlings by Misses Rice and Davis wliich gave .spice, variety an<l good cheer. There was not a flagging moment. Everything passed off so evenly and smoothly as to im]iress one that a fixed program was being ren dered, but every other feature in dicated a spontaneous outflow. This evening’s njingUl^ and in termingling of the young people in the community chaperoned by safe and sane hands cannot be other wise than elevating, and while they that have the good fortune of being thus wMsely guided, it is hoped they will not allow the op portunity to pass unimproved.

SELiCA GRADED SCKGOL NOTES REMEMBERED THE PASTOR I closed a meoiiug at Ctdar Mountain on Friday. I preached for seven days day and night to the membership of my church. I reached home Friday evening in the great snow storm. My people at Cedar Mountain loaded me down with flour and chickens. I had nineteen fine large fat hens in my l^nggy. My son, S. F. Allison, and wife also sent us a very large box of meats and canned goods, and Dr. A. E. Lyday and wife of Penrose and a few other brethren of Enon sent me an overcoat worth twenty dollars and a cap worth three dol- Itirs as a New Year’s present. I am so thankful to the good peo ple for their kindness to me and my dear wife. Resi>ectfully, E. Allison. Etowah, N. U.

Gradj^d School, after studying the young people and their environments for the last three montlis, decided that these ])eople so soon to play a part in the actual affairs of life were worthy of and should have better facilities and opportunities of pre paring themselves for the joys and duties awMifing tbf'm ; tbev farther sav.' ilialil propt-ily itihpincl aiu! could be gl ided by a wise and sys- ten'.atic hand they would do much for thcm.selves by their own self- effort. Coming to this conclusion an in vitation was sent out asking the boys and girls of the fifth, sixth and seventli grades and their pa rents to meet in the school build ing on the evening of the second inst. for the purpose of making a study of local n eds. The school made a hearty rcsiwnse. Two patrons contributed their presence to the interest and success of the occasion. Miss Georgia Bell was the live wire. She was gratified with the response to the call, ex plained the motives of the teachers and the object in view, read some excerpts, all tending to show an abiding interest in the future as well as the present happiness of those before her, suggesting an or ganized effort to study and place for their social, moral and intellec tual betterment. Other remarks, by way of seconding those of the first speaker, were made by Mr. C. R. Sharp and one or two others. This effort was not without im- His Stomach Troubles Over, j Mr. Dyspeptic, would you not; like to feel that your stomach trou-1 bles were over, that you could eat' any kind of food you desired with out injury?
