The funeral of Mrs. Edward Breslin,

Her death is deeply regretted by all who

1t can be said to the credit of the saloon
keepers of town, that the law was OBJ
served to the letter on Sunday. Entrance
to the saloons not being accessible even by

ing about such a change, may feel justly
proud of their efforts.

Seven Hungarians left town on Monday
morning, each in possession of ticket for
his native land. The aifectonate farewell
given by those poor unfortunates, as the
train was about TO depart, was indeed a
sight to witness. We doubt if there is a
class of people living that are more tender
hearted than the Huns.
George Llewellyn has resigned his po-
sition as clerk in Twins store.
William Crawford is not going to Ala
bama, as reported. He will still continue
to reside in town.
Rev. Russell says he is done talking on
the license question, but will still continue
to act if necessary. We earnestly hope
there will be no cause for the Reverend
gentleman to trouble himself in the future
by word or act.
From the recent license trouble a story
has arisen very derogatory to the charac-
ter of two ladies of town. The authorship
has been imputed to the correspondent of
the COLUMBIAN, by the fact that he was
subpGnaed as a witness. AS to the ladies'
character we know nothing whatever, and
think that great injustice has been done
them as far as we know of. But as to
having originated any of these false stories,
we firmly deny the charge, and repeat-we
said nothing that could in any way be de-
rogatory to their or any other ones char
acter.
