Law AND ORDER.
There are perhaps few towns of its
size that can show a better present
record for oRierly conduct Rnd free
dom from lights sand dr1nkenneat |
which ruin the reputation of many
towns than Republic. It is true that
the town is notentirely free from these
adjunets of civilization, but as a rule,
quiet and good order prevail. This
may in part be attributed to the fact, |
that for three years past with a brief
exception, there has not been a
SALOON
in the place. Men occasionally get
drunk, but liquor is not set out and
sold openly. The most common way
for that class who are addicted to in
toxication and cannot procure the
liquor themselves is for them to en-
gage some stool pigeon who happens
to bear little better reputatIon,t ,to get
