April term of the Accomac County Court;
but he came out Thursday and set the
wheels OF the court In motion. This be-
ing the term at which liquor licenses
are granted or renewed several applica-
tions for license were strongly opposed.
The strongest opposition came from per-
sons living around Bloxton Station. IL
was represented to the court that many
rowdy and disorderly persons frequented
this place, and when under the influence
Of liquor. as was frequently the case, up
roared the peace and made life a bur-
den to the residents Of the communi$.
These facts being cleary proved. the
