Prohibition in Grayson County

Thirty-seven years ago, says the editor of the California Voice, all the saloons were voted out of the county of Grayson, Va. The next year there was but one man in jail. Subsequently the jail was used as a storehouse for grain, and finally was torn down and a Baptist church was built on the old foundation. Now there are plenty of people twenty-five years old in that county who never saw a saloon, and the population of the county is about doubled. It is such facts as these that speak most emphatically for out-and-out prohibition.
