Conrad Weitz, the manager of the most popular drinking-place in the town, predicted that there would soon have to be a change for the worse. "He ain't drinkin' noding," said Conrad; "and a feller dat's been drinkin' all his life can't get along midout it afterwards."
Besides, Weitz was a well-to-do man and saved a great deal of money, some of which the deacon had invested for him, and all of which the deacon desired to handle, for he was a man of many enterprises, and, like most other men of the kind, always had more ways than money. "You're all wrong about that, Weitz," said the deacon, sitting upon an empty beer-barrel in front of the liquor-store.
Weitz was a public-spirited and intelligent citizen, and the deacon believed that if his opinions about the moral nature of his business could be changed there would be a great gain for the temperance cause in Bruceton.
