alone. 1t may be profitable occasionally
to sell glass or pint of liquor at great
per cent of profit, but in the end those
who make it business always find it
pro6tless and killing business to them
selves. When there shall be no place
in this village where liquors are unlaw-
fully sold, there will be peace and plen-
ty in some families where there have been
sorrow and want; certain men who have
started we'll in the downward course will
have better opportunities to reform
those who are reputed to have broken
the law will find new and better class
of friends; the stigma that has rest
ed on this place ON account of liquor
selling will be removed and there will
be better state of affairs all around.
All temperance people, and for that mat
ter almost everybody else, will rejoice
that this matter is taken in hand by the
officers of the law, with prospect of
thorough, effectual work.
