The ". c. T. T.. is at work getting sisners
TO a remonsirance against license in this
place. In one sense this may seem fair,
but in another il does not, and our business
men will be chary about signing it. The
twin town OF Ursina has two licensed houses
and another application in and it would be
highly detrimental to the business interests
OF this place not to be placed upon an
equality with Ursina, especially al this time.
If licenses were uniformly refused through
out the county 1t would be well enough to
demonstrate. bat as it is the business men
here are in favor Of license.
