! That the jury of inquest after three

OTTER ASPECTS.

There has been marked and steady
falling off in drunkenness and drink
ing. and dealings aud settlements with
customers have been, Us rule. far
more satisfactory and pleasant. Even
"the jug trade" generally greatly mag
nificd. has gradually decreased.
Many old drunkards have re-
formed and few young men,
comparatively, are forming the drink
habit. The good results of prohibition
are especially noticeable among the
farming class. Scores of farmers who
used to bring their country produce
to town. spend their money in saloons
and go home empty handed filled with
liquor, now come in, attend to their
business quietly, go home sober and
carry something useful to their fami-
lies.

and teams with perfect confidence, feel
ing assured they will return on time
and without accident caused by drunk
ell drivers. To the negroes even more
than to the whites, prohibition, has
been "a veritable boon. Labor is bet

Picnic al Oyster City.

On Tuesday last the members of
the Oyster City Sunday School gave
an entertainment and picnic, which
was thoroughly enjoyed by all
those who were present. The pro-
gram consisted of vocal and instru-
mental music, speaking ETC., and
under the direction of Miss Cora
Gregson. Everything passed off
without anything happening to mar
the enjoyment of anyone,
The day was simply perfect, just
enough breeze blowing to keep
things cool, but in spite of the
gentle winds the young folks were
glad every once in while to quit
their games and seek the shade of
the fruit trees In the orchard of Mr..
Geo, King. D.

was announced, and to see the will

However all things must have an

one was obliged to confess they had
had enough, although some of the
boys looked sorry when they saw
the remainder of the good things
being packed up, but sorrowful
looks quickly gave place to smiles
as the girls suggested games, and
then all were busy again until hall

came to an end, all being united in
