Jackson has one doggery which presents
a worse picture of the evils of intemper-
ance than ever presented in work OF
fiction. This place is kind of head
quarters for all the worst cases of intem-
perance. sometimes having more than
half dozen wrecks of humanity at time
tumbling' about the place, and diversity
ing the proceedings occasionally with p
brutal fight. This place should receive
special attention from the officers.
John Robbins of this place, and Bundy.
and Vanpelt of Wellston, had good
meeting at Glenroy tonight.
SUNDAY-TheS Sunday before election is
always a busy Sunday with candidates
and their friends. It would be easy to
tell this fact by the surface appearance
alone, were all recollection of dates wiped
out. Everybody in the habit of getting
intoxicated gets drunk on the Sunday
before the election. There's generallv
good picking for the poor inebriate a
such a time. and this day is no exception
TO the rule. There are lots of poor wrecks
ON the intemperance string to-day. There
will be trouble in the next world wheli
some of our politicians are called to an
swer for the deeds done-the Sunda
before the election.
