purchaser finds when it is too late that he

A GREAT DRoUTH.-While the dark
lowering clouds dripped in torrents down
upon the earth, and all nature seemed to
rejoice hundreds were furnishing and suf
fering for the want of a little whiskey for
medicine How it could happen that our
faithful County Commissioner could so far
disregard the wants of our community as
to neglect to appoint a whiskey agent,
we cannot see. But so it is. The weary
and heavy laden could get no consolation
from Comstock, to the thirsty, he babe
them drink water To the sick he gave
pity and to all pleasant smile. With
all his sympathy, and bowels of mercy,he
was poweress to relieve.
Mr.. Comstock has passed through the
ordeal of selling rum for one year, and
has, as far as we know, given general

good Of the cause, he may be prevailed
upon to continue as agent for another
year, although he has some misgivings
about taking the responsible place. The
truth is he still has conscience left.

has been re-appointed.
