The methodist church entertainment
came off at Hyde's Hall monday even
ing. That is was a snide affair nobody

tolerably decent show.

Next Tuesday will be election day,
boys. and do not forget that the city
officials elected will have power to make
high license. or no license. A city has
never yet been known to thrive under 8
no license policy. The expense of gov
eminent without the assistance given
from high license has always proven
greater than people like to pay.
Nobody but cranks favor no license.
II there was the faintest suspicion of a
possibility that no licence would stop
the sale and consumption OF liquors
there would be some sense in 1t, but ex-
perience has proven that it never has
nor never will. Admitting that a sa-
loon is an evil, it is better to control it
than to drive it beyond the pale of gov
eminent.

past, hauling railroad ties to market.
At present there are about three thous-
and on hand at the depot. The fine
timber in this vicinity. and Hurricane,
affords splendid material for furnishing
them. The farmers say that it pays
them' better to furnish ties than cord
