Thanks to the Commissioners.

in the northeast Mr.. Holbrook, president of
the Brick Machine Co., is right; he has under
MS charge go to 800 colored men, good men
when sober. but when drunk terror. Most of
the seven saloons have back and side gates
and sell bad whiskey all day Sunday. Two of
them have grocery stores blind; these shops
were rejected last year. but after the excite
ment died out were granted their license in
some other persons name. The greatest thing
TO fear Is. however. that the Commissioners
will back down In the name Of our children
and a sober husband. we hope and pray that
these saloons will be permanently closed. SO
that number Of poor families may have bread
as the money now goes for beer and rum. With
thanks, Noruvp
