I read with profound Interest this
volttum neeount In the Interior Jour
tiul (his week ot the "Enthusiastic
Meeting o Temperunec Workers'' in
your city Inst Sabbath evening.
J'nssing by thu many excellent things
ret forth therein to bold the fort in
J.iticohi for Tcmperunce, I desire to
uy that after all is said ami done,
jt remain for the totem to "sec to
it that olllcials are eleeted who are
jdedged to enforce the laws" us one
jicutlciiiiiu mi id in his remarks. I
might also say ,tliat since blind tig
ers exist nil over the county, us lie
is ipiolcd ns Haying, i( pretty good
tray of diminishing their number and
jiflitity would be for voters to pledge
themselves not to vote nniii for tlie
present ollicerx, If these violatunt
jire not made to ccnc their tralllc.
What do ton think of that aller
liutivnf I Iwhcte that if the male
portion of your big muss meeting on
Sunday night last or at u future
ii.eeling would sign such a pledge and
publish it in the paper, addressed to
nil ulllcers concerned, it would hate
ji salutary effect. In ndililion, it
would lw exceedingly wise and high
ly essentml for all good citizens to
Titte to ilo jury srrticc without

Mild nfticcr endeavorcil to bring vio

out that n greet ninny "serious in

who were on the trains. Most of the

It is figured Hint this one little

that the roadway from here to Row

FREIGHT ON STONE,
Between Mt. 'Vernon and Stanford
Raised $8 a Car.
Much speculation has been caused
here bv tin increase in freight i.ltes
mude by Ihe L. ic N railroad recent
I on the .shipment of stone between
Mt. Vernon mid this point. Those who
deal in stone say thai an increase of
H n car has recently been unified
by the mad and all are at a loss to
tipcouut for it. The raise in rale
is said lo have been from lib to 2(i
11 ton.
The principal sufferer by Ibis in
crease is said to be W. J. Sp.uks, of
Idl. Vernon, who is operating extent-it
e stone quarries just above that
city. The new rale will be prohibi
tive to him, it is said, and prevent
him shipping fclouc to Slanfoid n
any profit nt all.
Those who seem to know whereof
they affirm, say that tl e rate 011
stone to Rowland and Lancaster has
Hot been changed, Ihe increasp hav
ing been made simply on shipments
between Mt. Yeinnii nnd Stnnford.
There is said to by 11 chunco that the
matter will he taken before the Stntc
Railroad commission to ascertain
the whereas and wherefore of this
freight raise.
