Jer. VI, 16. s There were two ad-

The Baptist had 180 at Sun-

There was a testimony meeting
for the old folks, then a greet-

/^Tne election last Saturday was
* very quiet affair in Young
county; all the people teemed to
have reached a decision as to
how they would vote and went
to the poll* and cast their bal-
lots accordingly. There were
1993 vote* cast in the oounty,
1370 for prohibition and 623
against prohibition.
Interest in the result of the el-
ection grew toward evening and
at night a crowd gathered at
the bandstand in the park to
get the reyuros from over the
# State. Among the crowti were
womep'-and children, which show-
ed. that they,; too, were interest-
r~ ed in the results of the battle
againft the saloon, and they Vrere^
gave the idea up and pur-
chased a 7 1-2 h.p. motor, which

knows Jim, and if there was ever
a more popular young man here
we have not heard of him. Heja
a member of the-firm of D. G..
Vick & Co., and is a model young
fellow, a good, courteous sales-
man, who has won the confidence
of all with whom he has come in
contact and is in every way ca-
pable of providing for a wife
and a happy home.
The young couple will reside
here and will likely arrive in
the city Sunday night.
We join their many friends in
wishing for them all the happinea
and prosperity through life that
mankind is capable of enjoyingr-

a great hit wi^h our pd j>le that
night and that/ is com-
pany spared n(i teffort to make a
success of anything they might
undertake, and that they were at
all times ready .and anxious to
accommodate 1 the public. Mr.
Mcdnrkin did not stop at giv-
ing the service of the exchange
in gathering free, the election
returns but he placed free
of. charge, a phone in the band-
stand to be used in collecting
news from over the county and
receiving the special hews service
from the telegraph office. The

Company gave reports from all
over the state. T^ese telephone
returns were free and gave as
good reports as could have been
obtained from any source that
early after the election, and in

8. R. Cranford, **
Graham, Texas.
For convenience of the nrohi-
bitionists of Texas in addition
to meeting at Fort Worth Sat-
urday, I have called a meeting at
phone Company than everything
else combined.
The returns came in slowly at
first but by 11 o’clock they were
coming ^fast and furious and ever)
thing and everybody was at
fever heat, >„Jt then looked like
a landslide for the prohibitionists
The an^ir in the northern part
of the State fell far below what
had been'expected and in the
prohibition counties a larger
victory had been won against the
nloon than had been predicted.
This gave the prohibitionists
plenty of assurance of victory
