1t is a foregone conclusion that the corn
crop must be sad failure. A majority OF
the farmers have planted their corn over
and the second planting has rotted badly
and where there Is any left it is from two to
three weeks behind in the season. Crows
have never been more troublesome. Poi.
sons have been used freely and now there is
but few left.
1t has been many years since case Of
violating the prohibition law has been tried
in town, until last week when two cases
were brought before Justice H. w. Lyford
One was tried for furnishing liquor and the
other for INDUCING in it. The liquor was
obtained of our town agent under false rep
reservations, as IL usually Is nine times out
OF ten and 1t is we'll known by the agent
that the persons perjure themselves wher
they sign their names ON his book but fol
want OF sufficient proof he can do nothing
Ninety-nine one hundredths of the
liquor obtained for medicinal use he knows
is false purpose. A good many the agent
will not sell to. for he knows If they get il
they will be the worse for it in thirty min
utes. That class will get some one to get il
for them and compound the violation o.
the law. This has been practiced so much
here that forbearance has ceased to be a
virtue and it is determined by the better
class OF the community to prosecute every
one that thus obtains liquor at our agency
If it can be proved.
