The tragic death of Mrs. Mary e. CLARK of Mt. Washington,presents a startling argument for prohibition. She was shot December 21 by a drunken man in his home, where she had gone as a friend and peacemaker between him and his wife. She was an earnest, consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The Woman's Missionary Scoiety, of which she was secretary, has recorded formal resolutions on her death as a warning against the deadliest of enemies, liquor, to do all in their power to overcome this evil which overshadows the innocent as well as the guilty.
