TOWN LICENSE
Ed. PILoI Our newly elected Town
Board have fully and fearlsssly proved
themselves MEN. Their names should be
handed down to posterity as fearless, stern
advocates Of lax, truth and Justice. Num-
berleA thrests> tears aad expostulations
were used by the rumselle,s and their co.,
fede,ates Sef the privilege Of continuing in
the free unlimited traffic Of poisonous
liquors As Of yore but in vain. The edict
from this honored Board went forth OF las.
Monday-an tdict which caused every
whisky seller in the township to shake in
bis boots" For the first time since the
organization Of the town, saloon keeper.

Up shop For the FIRST time in years, the
law OF the land is enforced, and for the
FIRST time in years We have Town Board

ceuss. Saloon signs, deliberately finished
IN letters of gold, ere recklessly torn down
and tbs dark space which they occupied
painted IN the vain endeavor TO hare it
wear as respectable an appearance as the
rest OF the structure. One gorseou-ly furn
ished saloon is now transformed INTO
rendezvous Of the Farmers Club, whe-e
members NEE. to discuss farm interests and
to weigh out and distribute the goods bou,ht
wholly for cash without the intervention
of agent or middle men
This, indeed. is great revolution for the
better, and the only wonder IS why il was
not inaugeratei tefore. The nnorui atmcs-
phere of the place is furer and the whole
neighborhood wear, more digr fled and
respectable appearance since the rum traf,

pect to number saloons among the things
that are passed, and the saloon keepers
themselves working shoulder to shoulder
with us in the great cause of temperance
and sobrIety.
SAD ACCIDENT
A terrible accident occurred here on Fri.
day last. A little boy SIX or seven years
of age was accidentally killed in his moth
er's barn. 1t seems the little fellow was
searching for eggs, and climbing to the top
Of the NOW wes in the act of passing from
one department to another when he slip |
ped and fell in such manner that he struck
upon the sharp end Of board, completely |
breaking his neck and killing him Instantly. |
He Was bright little fellow, and the idol
Of all who knew him. The accident is the |
more heart-rendng in view Of the fact that
his father, John Doro, was also accidentally |
killed in February last, by falling upon the
&c, thereby fracturing his skull and causing
Utmost immediate death. The bereaved |
widow and mother has the sympathy of the
,om munity in this the hour of her affection. |
THE CROPS.
This is the latest spring within the mem
Dry Of the oldest inhabitant" No grain
mas been sown yet, nor is there any likeli |
mood of any being sown prior to the month
If May. This is rather tough" on the
