AT a called meeting of the Town
Council held at the Mayors office
Monday night, the following appIi-
cations for license to sell at retail
spurious liquors were granted:
John r. Selbe. Curtis Hysell Article
Cottrell, Bryan & Smith, Captain
Joseph Helm. The applications
of the Messrs. Yarian and j.
S. Cooley, were put off until an
other meeting, owing to a misun-
derstanding about the room as both
of the above parties made applica-
ton to do business in the same
building. Mr.. swisher had at
previous meeting requested the
council not to grant liquor license
to anyone to do business in his room,
and last meeting withdrew his pro
test. 1t seems Mr.. Coley claims the
room under a contract, while the
Messrs. Varian also claim the room
under a written contract with Mr..
Swisher If the misunderstanding
is not settled, it is fair to presume
that no saloon will occupy
"Beale's Hail." this license year.
MAD DoGs.-The people on the
lower side of Kanawha are becom-
ing alarmed over the number of
mad dogs seen in that section. A
dog supposed to be mad, on Five
Mile bit several dogs, one or two
cattle and a couple of hogs belong
ing to Mr.. Eastman. The owners of
the dogs bitten, we are informed,
have taken no precaution to confine
their dogs. A mad dog or two has
been killed in this town, and several
dogs that were bitten by these rabid
animals are still running at large in
the town. The town authorities
should take this matter in hand.

Budd was sold by the Ella Layman

What is the use of a mer-
chant marking his goods down
low, and sticking cards on them,
and then hiding them away. Does
he think the people will find it out;
not muchly. The only way toreach
the people is through the columns of
a newspaper. The REGISTER offers
the best facilities for advertising.
1t is an old established paper, has a
larger circulation than any paper
in the county, and has the confidence
of the people. Try an advertise
