Selling Liquor to Minors.
Dyersburg Gazett,

DyersUuTg OdLetto
1t is not generally known that the
sale Of liquor to a minor, without the
written permission of the parents or
guardian involves penalty ola fine
not less than ten dollars or more than
two hundred dollars. with forfeiture
of license for twelve months, and for
the second offence perpetual disqual-
ification to Obtain a..license.
BY the act of March %. 1888, the
provisions are extended to habitual
drunkards. and all married woman
has to do is to have written notice
served upon the liquor dealer, and he
becomes liable to the penalties.
Wives who have drunken husbands
have quick remedy. and it will be
their own fault if they do not avail
themselves of it.

or had larger. circle of admiring
friends. Peace to his ashes
