as green spot in the memory Of
every one present.

Another Vote on the License Question.

A petition praying that the town
Council grant license to Jas. G. Wal
lace to sell spirituous liquors and
signed by 1873 voters of Morgantown
was presented to the Council, Mon
day evening, the 9th. inst, and the
Council voted to grant him certifi-
cate to the County Court for sane.
On Thursday evening like petition
signed by 100 voters on behalf of H.
L. Jaco was presented to that body,
but was not acted upon as the Coun-
Gil refused to endorse, by tie vote,
the minutes of the previous meeting,
and as compromise measure re-
solved to leave the question oflicense
or no license to vote of the
people, whereupon, Saturday, the
18th. inst. was fixed upon as the date
upon which the vote should be taken.
The action of Council is probably
based upon the fact that the anti
license people were circulating pc
tition among the voters which they
intended to present to the County
court protesting against the issuing
of license. Both of the petitions
presented to the Council contained
the names of a majority Of the bona
fde voters of the borough and the
license ticket will carry if those who
signed the petition vote as they
signed.
In conversation with a New Do
MINIoN representative member o.
Council said: IF license is granted
we propose to see to it, that the law
is implicitly obeyed and one offens'
will cost any saloonist his license
Furthermore, the police will be dis

firm and his step elastic, lose day by

memory fail for recent things, his
mind revert to his middle life, to the
time when his grown sons were chill

his own wife and family were stran-
gers to him, and he talked OF things
that were strange to them, and wan

mind took great backward step; he
forgot all save the first words of his
baby hood; he played with the toys
of little children, and one day when
he slept, as child, his life away, he
had forgotten all save to cry when
hungry or thirsty. 1t was most pitt
full, yet to the last he retained his
strong physique and his abundant
animal life succumbed only to his
mental death.
We have seen the body shrink away
the face shrivel into a network Of
wrinkles, the bony hands shake with

the intellect remain undimmed, and
the bright rowing eyes that must
