Article NIX.

From one of our most prominent citi~
zens, one who has not only invested
largely with us but has done much for
his section in other ways, we have re
cnived inquiry relative to that article in
the New Constitution which bears di-
rectly on the cause of temperance. To
do this most fully we simply give else
where a copy of the article under his
letter. Prohibition at large is left TO the
county, but we have provision that
Intoxicating liquors, either vinous or
malt, shall not be sold" in any election
district casting majority against it.
This leaves the question of local option
where it is now, and other change in our
pr, sent law must come from legislation.
The gentleman will see that his prefer
ence is amply protected.

not the farmer who sells large egg for
the same price that his neighbor sells a
small one cheated: And Is not the buyer
of the small egg cheated: just as well
might butter be sold 10y rolls, the small
roll bringing rs much as the large our,
We do not buy or sell butter 10y the mum
