‘git weeping mothers, i Che Butle State Histo ety, VOL. XXXIII. BUTLER, MISSOURI, THURSD AY, NOVEMBER 17, , 1910. VIRGINIA. The election passed off quietly at Virginia. The ladies gave a free din- ner to the wets as well as the drys. It was a great big dinner, too, It consisted of as fine a lot of eatables ~ as could well be collected together, and all that partook of the feast, en- joyed it. The Virginia school chil- dren posted cards: ‘Save the home, save thé children.” They sang for the voters to vote to save the home. But there were 63 that voted wet and probably some of them against the pleadings of their own children. There were 121 that voted dry. Six of them were Party Prohibitionists, who had heard the pleadings of the drunkard’s wife and the children years ago. Yes, dear children and the Prohibition party is the home defender. It voted for a dry Missouri and a dry party at the same time. Somewhere in the Bible it says’ a little child shall lead them; it did not say a brewer. We are glad that old Bates voted dry, and we think the State will, bye and bye.
