George w. Allen was brought before
Justice Mitchell last Wednesday, on
complaint, for violation of the liquor
law. A jury trial was held, and they
brought him in guilty of one offense.
The case was appealed to tho County
court. A great effort was made by the
opponents of the law, and the friends of
intemperance to over-awe the temperance
element and prevent justice being done,
but they were not successful. Those
who engage in the unlawful and unholy
practice of dealing out liquors, should
remember that temperance people and
the Club have no enmity against them
individually, but they love sobriety, and
care more for the welfare of the commu-
nifty than that few men should profit
by the sale of rum. Whenever any in
divldual thinks it wise or safe to go
into the rum traffic, he will be treated
to another taste of the law.
