flat failure.
James West, of Doe Run, was in Ironton
last Wednesday looking for couple OF

At present the men are at work still further

are IN this connection for the future we do

a boon whose benefits could hardly be over

"Encle Isaac" must not mistake our posi-
ton on the high-license question: the REG
IsTER has always advocated it, and will
continue to do so. The Downing law is a
good one, and with few amendments, re-
lating to dramshops IN the larger cities,
would have answered every purpose of true
temperance people. We like i. because it is
a true local option law. The bill now I'M
der consideration by the legislature. with
the amendments suggested last week would
no doubt answer equally we'll. But we do
not believe in liquor law which gives
license to the Incorporated towns and Pro-
hibition to all outside. We do believe in
local option :, and as for offenses by either
sober or drunken men, we believe there are
laws, and officers to administer those laws, |
as we'll outside of as within incorporated
towns.

We call special attention to letter from
