r GREAT INPRovEMFNT.-In former times the
candidates for the Sherif7s Office rode the county
and expended hundreds of dollars in treating men
to liquor. This year, not dollar has been so laid
out that we have heard of-oven Mr. 0gle the
Democratic candidate, has declined to adopt such
disrepntable mode of eleotioneering although
bitter opponent Of the present restraining law md
In favor OF return to something like the old license
system, under which grOg could Re obtained almost
as easily as water The above is fact worthy of
| the attention OF every lover of morality, We at
tribute the happy departure from the former custom

treated quite extensively two years ago, and VIC do
not believe that he is more conscientious now II
the law has merely broken up thu system of treating
which prevailed to such alarming extent in former
times corruptng our young men and bringing misery
and ruin on many families it has effected good suf,
