WILL SQUIRE THARP
ANSWER?
.Squire Tharp’s attack of belly
ache seems to have become chron
ic, and the astute judge is still in
.sjsting that The Journal, prompted
by some sinister motive, has made
sdime unwarranted attack upon
Ljim. This The Journal positively
and emphatically denies and defies
Jtldge Tharp to prove it.
kludge Tharp’s first article,
written as he claimed, in self de
fense, was entirely uncalled for.
"The only facts set forth in that |
article by the squire, as relating
ta^imself, had alreay been pub
lished. His own action, therefore,
shqws that it was not so much an
unbiased desire to let the public
■kpow the facts in the case as it was
a fiendish desire to “chew up” the
Jitfrlie 2x4 editor and thus gain
spn^e desirable notoriety.
A, careful perusal of Judge
Tharp’s article in today’s paper
will; show that the gentleman is
digressing. This is no mud sling
ing coiiiest. It was not started
as'.*snqh and The Journal does not
propose- to allow Judge Tharp to
thus distract attention from the
question at issue. In his first ar
ticle w.jB -permitted the ’squire to
teTl all the facts he desired the 1
public to know, or at least all the 1
t- :4
“facts’“it pleased him to submit
at;that time. But we asked him to I

j'Judge'Tharp is seeking to ob- 1
sdhre the issue by raising a great 1
lulfwt trivialities. But it ■
won’t go, in this instance. The
people have been trifled with long
edough and its now high time to
gqt down to business. The judge
*e|sks to dodge the question by
sa&’ing that he has kept his office
iHlder his hat. But that does not
chfange the situation in the least.
Ififhe has kept his office under his
Jhatotfs-fre says he has, he has kept
it ftflTblind tiger, for everybody
■knows that he has kept his hat in
a J4i/Ud tiger, where, for about two
yowrs;preceding the first of the
present year, he has been employ
e<fu&s’ bookkeeper and general
Tc^ist-about.

regard for his oath as an officer

eating liquors in that state. The
bill is considered a masterly docu
ment, dealing as it does with every
legal phase of the subject, and is
attracting favorable att e n t i o n
throughout the entire country.
The bill provides that no person
shall manufacture or sell or assist
in the manufacture or sale of in
toxicating liquors for beverage
purposes, penalty for each offense
of violation to be not less than
$100 tine or 60 days’ imprisonment
nor more than $1,000 fine and im
prisonment for one year. But
there are some eminent legal
lights and officials in Newark who
hold that a state cannot pass and
enforce a law to prohibit the manu
facture of liquor, and it might be
a good idea for the Illinois legis
lature to consult these gentlemen
before passing such a law as this.

Conducted by Rev. Jas. F. Jernigan
Pastor M. E. Church, South
The seed were sown, grace kept alive
Brought true repentance unto him
lie trusted God, and won the prize
Was freely, fully saved from sin.
The day rolled round for me to
make m.y second visit. 1 was soon
on the path and with a glad heart
I made haste, feeling in my very
soul that a welcome awaited me.
This being my conviction, I did
not obseve the msual convention
ality of calling at the gate, but
alighted and at the open door a
similing elderly lady bade me come
in. As 1 rounded the corner of
that old high post bed-stead, 1
found the old gentleman had turn
ed his face front, and as I extend
ed my hand, he clasped it wit!
: both of his saying, “Good morn
ing sir, I am glad you have conn
back; will you forgive me foi
treating you so ugly when yoi
were here before?” The tear.'
were flowing down his cheeks, anc
I mingled mine with his, and said,
“Bro. Sandy you don’t owe me
any apology whatever, but how i?
| it with you and your God?” “Oh’:
he said in tearful delight, “I fee
so much better; you are the only
preacher who has ever shown any
interest in me. Sit down sir, anc
make your self at home. The ole
woman will have dinner in a little
while and you must stay and gel
dinner with us, and go and pul
your “nag” up and feed it, and we
will talk some more.” Reader, 1
tell you I felt at home and in thal
old homely log cabin, and on thal
old puncheon floor, and around the
social board of that once “preach
er hater,” but now transformec
into a gentle agreeable man. 1
enjoyed myself as never before.
We had a good time. The ole
man said, “I tried to be an infidel
and I got the credit of being one
but it won’t do in sickness, anc
death,”
Thev were loath to see m<
lney were main 10 see
go, but other duties called, and
had to respond. The old gentle
naan recovered sufficiently to ge
up and go around the house, bu
was never stout again and in Octo
ber he died. I was holding i
meeting at Salem when the new
i of his death came, and a reques
for me to go and hold the buria
service. I went. The old lad;
was sad and grieving much at thi
death of her husband. She mad
the following statement to me
“Well,” she said, “Bro. Jernigai
I sent sent for you to come am
sing and pray at my old man’
grave, because you came to see u
and prayed for him, while he wa
sick and because the old mai
thought so much of you, and want
