Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1879-03-27

anti temperance organ it would dispense anti
temperance arguments and nothing else Ike
as the whisky seller disposes Of his specialties
and nothing else. The druggist sells every
thing from soothing syrups down to whisky
and strychnine--all intended for the physical
health of his customers. The HERALD deals
Out all sorts OF articles but all intended for the
moral and intellectual health Of the people.
Its editor claims the same right as the mer-
chant to entertain or to personally urge his
own views but be does not proposeto make
the HERALD the mouth piece for the ism of
any faction. If ,he people of one of these fac

the HERALD exercising an effective pow

reason the HERALD will go on as heretofore
