From all the false representations one

citizens of Dawson. The country mem

county should have a part of the public

dispensares eliminate self-lnterest from
the dispensers.
Dispensaries will place whiskey where
minors and people who have lost control
of themselves can be more certainly barr
ed from getting it.
Dispensaries will be saving to the
county yearly of fifteen hundred and
