Inc heading Of the communication in the

closed Sheriff Banks made n seizure a.
reported, but it was in the hands of the
| express. agent. There are no rum shops
known In our town or village. We cannot
say tnere Is no rum traffic The only way
tnat liquors are here sold so far as known to
the authorities Is in this manner: Orders
are sent to Massachusetts, mostly and billed
| TO some assumed name and landed here by
| express companies and then the party or
parties ordering are supposed to supply from
pocket shops" sheriff Banks takes care to
libel all the liquors in Illicit transit that
comes to his notice. This peculiar kind of
traffic is somewhat difficult to handle. but is
being met as faithfully as possible.
