<The sad news of tHe death of Judge

R B Dohoney came to me as a greatbereavement He was a fellow studentwith me at the M arid F High Schoolwhere we received instructions fromthat grand old man the Rev John LMcKte Judge Dohoney was an idealman He was one of the best men Iever knew Plain easy to approachand made every one pleased to be inhis presence He was extremely popu

lIar with all the students and all soughthis company He was a man of abilityand his mind was capable of graspingand solving the most abstruce questions He was a newt student and in

my minds eye I can plainly seeu hismajestic form at the blackboard demon ¬

strating a problem in Geometry Afterleaving school I was fortunate at intervals in meeting him and I alwaysfound him the same genial and uprightandnfree from all vanity and egotism

LMy sadness is intensified from thefact that there remains of my fellowstudents in Adair county only three asfar as my knowledge extends Hon HC Baker W W Bradshaw and GeorgeW Flowers I would fain place awreath on the grave of Judge Dohoney

Intemperance and Gambliiig

The very profitable and delightfulweek of prayer observed by the localchurches last week reached high tide inIinterest over the discussion of the topicIIntemperance and Gambling Thesubject was so worded by the programmakers as to require the considerationof local needs The several speakersfor the evening dispassionately butfrankly spoke to the point at issueThere was a surprising uninimity ofopinion relating to the belief that thelaws Regulating the sale of intoxicantswere being wantingly defied in the com ¬

munity at this time as perhaps not inyears past If this be true the mattershould receive prompt attention at thehands of every citizen and by our newofficials in both town and county It issafe to conclude that this evil will growif not promptly met with a stubbornunyielding public sentiment Let sus-picious

¬

places and persons be dulywatched and when detected in com-plicity with the crime of boot leggingbe exposed punished and branded asenemies to t he public good Totinue to harbor such an existing conIto suffer the moral atmospherecommunity to become poisoned Andwhen this is done gambling licentious ¬

ness and infidility to business homeand church follow naturally Columbiaand Adair county enjoy an enviable reputation for sobriety and good moralsand like Ceasars wife must be keptabove the taint of suspicion Everycitizen of moral muscle and spiritualbackbone should be summoned to I

awake from his sleep of civic indiffer-ence

¬

At such a time for the church ofGod to sit still and be content withtheories outlawed by time and whollyinadequate to the demands of the livingpresent is to deserve the scorn of menand the curse cf God The one thingsupremely needful to correct the reign-ing

¬

secret violations of law in anycommunity is a wide awake activeunsubsadized and incorruptable Christ ¬

conscienceWetoo prone to follow the

pernicious habit of fault finding withour officials for existing lack of law en-

forcement¬

and conclude that this issufficient of itself to absolve as frall blame Our elected magistratesnot our masters hut our servants OmIeus frankly toll them so Theychosen not so much to make new ¬

cies respecting moral issues but to execute existing laws without fear orfavor Let them understand that whenthey do this that they have the unquali¬

fled backing and hearty support ofevery good citizen Officials need tofeel the support of the persistent com ¬

pelling influence of the good citizen attimes The Master likened this in ¬

to salt adding But if the saltlost itssavor wherewith shall it

salted Let us see to it that thisinfluence shah not go for naught And

forget that it is the old organiz ¬

legalized outlawed liquor trafficthe enemy of every good that con-
