The Clerk OF the Circuit Court
fled with the County Commissioners,
his report for liquor licenses issued
since January 1st, accompanied by q
check for the net amount due the
county which was $659.l9. For the
month of December he turned over
to the Treasurer from the same
source 81 ,8s0.23. making the entire
net amount paid to the county on
account of liquor license up to March
LIST. $2.529.42.
When the source this money comes
from is considered any decent man
should be ashamed to look drunk
ards wife and children in the face.
1t would be a great deal more credi-
table for Cecil county TO employ an
officer to go to the home of every
drinking man and levy tax on him
till the above amount was placed
in the treasury. The wife and children
would escape many times being
driven out Of home at night and
beaten, besides they would escape
the want of clothing fuel and food.
This is dastardly system of raising
taxes.
Since our last record number of
the gay and happy family have
paraded the streets of the Sun, but
they must be credited with keeping
quiet. One family has been broken
up by the destroyer however. How
many hearts are weekly wrnng none
but the recording angel can never
know.
