This locality is at the present time in
commotion and about sixty of its citizens
are invited to Woodstock and go before
the Grand Jury now in session and disclose
to that body of inquest their habits and
whether or not they have drank water at
all times, eat turkey or goose on Sunday or
| not. The manner of executing the pres
ent liquor law in this state is farce and a
whip by which some individuals can let off
their hatred to some one of their neighbors.
A few dollars are occasionally taken from
the pocket of some individual with no good
result to the cause of temperance. @.

BRISTOL.
The citizens held meeting in II. III.
Mardins office last Monday evening for the
purpose of securing L. F. Benton as prin-
cpal of the academy. Mr.. Benton is first
class teacher, and the academy was in O
prosperous condition when under his
charge, but since he left the school has
been in a languishing condition.
The citizens have become thoroughly
disguised with the operation of the Mayo
Brothers. 1t was more gigantic swindle
than a success. The town hall was crowd
ed three nights The first two nights
presents were distributed freely, but on the
last night they were cheap and meagre.
Many bought tickets TO the show, who
needed the money for clothing and food.
Several tight-fsted men bought tickets, ex-
pecting prizes, who paid more than they
have subscribed for preaching tor the past
year. There appeared to be considerable
cuddling in distributing the high priced
presents.
