The saloon keepers have shown their
appreciation Of the new liquor law in vari-
Gus ways.

view Of the situation, puts up the new law
in his saloon, and prefaces it with the fol.
lowing:
Take drink of this. propose to dc
business strictly in accordance with the
provisions Of the following act ofthe Legis.
iature. No liquor will be sold to drunk.
ards, or to those whose families need their
money. Positively no liquor will be given
away, or sold on trust, or to minors. Cash
will talk, and Trust will walk. Read the
following Law"
The Springfield brewers, ditstillers and
saloon keepers hive associated themselves
together, and issue the following card:

distil'ers and saloon keepers, notify all
