BooNvILLE, Mo, August q, 1883.
Our people scarcely ever know what to
do with themselves Sunday. Most of th-
churches were closed and ih- Dow ming law
closed all the saloons. a public park ia
the suburbs of our town would be n
splendid institution. With little outlay
of money one COT ID be fitted up, ice cream
and Lemonade sold and the park be made
q big paying Concern. Our peop.e wouldn't
have 10 60 to a beer garden or some
worse place these pleasant evenings
Such q movement would comma and the sup
port of our people and their patronage.
Our people appreciate enterprise and NO
one has yet lost money by displaying il.
The Sunday Law was, as usual, strictly en-
forced here, and no business of any SORT
was transacted. By the way, these liquor
sellers are the maddest set of men you ever
saw. When the city council raised the
dramshop license to $500 they were IN ID,
and one even went SO far rs to throw
city councilm n out OF his saloon when he
came for drink. But now their anger is
doubly increased atthe Temperance folks"
as they style Those who dou relieve in free
whisky. The county also raised the license
and il now costs the neat little sum of 81 800
to secure the privilege of disbursiDg in
toxicaring drinks to the thirsty denizens OF
the Vine Clad. The law hasn'l closed out
as many saloons was expected. JacOn
Frless has take out license in his name
for Val Diel, who, every one prophesied,
would quit business. Harry MCGOWAN,
who runs dramshop down in Cork, as the
region around the two depOts is called was
also expected TO be one of those who would
quit, but he has scraped together sufficient
lucre t. purchase a permit to sell liquor
for another six months. Quite a fight is
being made in the block bounded by Main,
Spring, Morgan and Fourth street Ior and
agains; the establishing of "A saloon there
Henry Hoffenister has purch ,scd the store
hous- of r. b. Baron on the corner
opposite the Central National bank and
wants to pui a saloon in it. So he goes
quietly at work anu secures the signatures

and " Epstein and j. F. Gunelick, vino
own the buildings west of thu proposed
saloon, have gotten up remonslrance.
They claim that the placing of the saloon
at that corner would ruin their business
ouniy court does not meet till September
17ih, AID the fight which grows more Per
sonal every day, ill not end till then. L.
is probable that the opposite corner, for
metly occupied by A. NJ. Kountz as gro
Gerry store, will be occupied BY dram shop
soon. Il is being reflted and remodeled,
and as DengSlesky Bros. are compelled to
move from their present location soon,
their building has been purchased by
Joe Barth. 1t is said that when
their present lease expires they
will move into the old Kountz build
ing.
There arr quite q number OF improve
ments going on around town of late. Be-
sides the remodeliug of the Knantz block
ab'v. mentioned, the building opposite the
'COmmercial bank and occupied by the
Topic Office is also being painted and re-
fitted. VIM NJ TrOuberger l. building a
