FARMERSVILLE SMASHING
Mrs. Carrie Nation Breaks
Bottles and Snatches Cigaretts.
LECTURED THERE LAST NIGHT
Arrived in McKinney This
Afternoon and Will Lecture at Opera House Tonight
McKinney Daily Courier Gazette, March
25, 1905
Mrs. Carrie
Nation, the noted Kansas saloon smasher, lectured at the Woodmen hall in
Farmersville last night. This morning she went into J Horn's place of business
in that town and called for "something to drink." A bottle was set out to her,
where-upon she picked it up, tasted of its contents and threw it at the large
mirror, breaking the bottle. She then picked up a glass and threw it at the
mirror, and had raised her hand to throw a salt cellar when she was seized by
some one. She left at once for the railroad station. On her way she came in
contact with a small boy with a cigarette in his mouth. She immediately snatched
it from his mouth, and delivered him a lecture. She took the train for
Princeton, stopping over there until this afternoon. She arrived in McKinney on
the 4:40 M K & T local, and will lecture at the opera house tonight. She will
doubtless have a full house.
