City Liquor Agency.

All persons who may have occasion to use
liquors OF any kind for medicinal or mechani-
cal purposes, are informed that the City Agen-
cy Is supplied with articles of excellent quail
W selected expressly for these purposes. No
liquors will be sold at the Agency except those
purchased Of the State Agent, and they can be
