GREENSBORO.
There were no votes cast for County
at our annual March meet
ing. We have had no liquor agent for
the last two years and we almost forget
there is such an office as Commissioner.
The town seems to be just as we'll off
without an agent as with, and we doubt
whether we shall ever have one again.
We hear of no more liquor being sold |
illegally than when we had an agent.
