Cassville.

Last weeks HERALD contained the
intensity interesting law supplement.
1t makes delightful reading and has
cheered mp the fishes. both great and
small. You can hardly find a fish
who has been in school for any
length of time that can't digest the
new fish law with one hand tied. The
catfish bass pike and salmon smile
clear to their gills when they read
that there will be eight fish commits
sioners all warranted to be sound
asleep when ever there is any illegal
fishing going on. Then he looks on
down the column and finds there may
be two deputies in each county who
will be certain never to interfere with
trammal nets, seins, dynamite
or fishberries. He begins to take in
the slack of his smile when he finds
there is a close season and when ne
comes to the trout line clause he finds
a hole under big rock and trembles
for his life, for past experience has
taught him that fish and game laws
and fish and game warders are Just
fraud and snare to get the confidence
of the unwary fish and scoop him NJ
by the bushel There is game
warden in Lancaster we are told and
there are over two hundred nets and
SENS in Grant county. Can any one
blame the poor fish for loosing eonii-
dence in fish laws
Another blood curdling law is the
one that provides for the free treat
ment of habitual drinks at $3.50 a
treat. 1t is glorious law but won't
do us Cassvillians any good. We
want law furnishing no free drinks.
What in time does man without a
cent want Of a drink cure? He has to
sober up as soon as his credit fails,
and we can inform the late lamented
and highly honorable legislature that
the most horrible thing on earth is
the aforesaid SOLDERING off. Drunk re-
ducers are not what we want but give
MS drunk producers and we will rise
up and call YOU blessed. We have
things pretty much our own way how
ever this Spring. There are five sa-
looms in town and another one build
ING the brewery runs to its fullest ca
pacity and can't supply the demand.
They make the best beer on earth.
The only trouble is the bar-tenders
have an ugly habit of refusing credit,
so if it wasn't for the strangers from
Lancaster, Beetown and Nipentuck,
who sometimes treat, we would have
to suffer in the midst of an abund-
ance.
We started out to give you a few
items but just learned that ye editor
was in town Sunday and suppose he
captured all the spicy bits himself
Well, we are glad of it. This thing
Of writing personals is dangerous.
My last venture in that line made
Lige mad and he transferred his pa
tronage to the other fellow. We don't
know what he objected to neither
does ne but the fact remains that we
have lost the good will of one OF
Cassyille's solid business men. PIX.
