We are in hopes of making the lake be-

five hills, up which we had to pull our
goods with rope and tackle. We have
one more hill, then the road is down
hill for fifteen miles, and We can haul
big loads.
We have had very fine weather here
up to the present time. Yesterday and

GENTLEMEN: The McSherry tobacco
planter we bought of you last season is
the best trsnsplanter we have ever used
or seen in operation, setting the plants
without having men to sit doubled mp
trying to set them by hand. The self
setter is perfect. We have used other
makes of transplanters, but will reco-
mend the McSherry, sold by Chas. s.
Slack & Co, to any oae in need OF a to-

ahead of hand setting machines as the

CON FIR N Ed.
The Facts Published by the Register
Relative to the Marshall County
License Question Fully Corrobora-
ted.

The Marshall county license matter
has narrowed down to a question as
to whether the saloon-keepers OF
Benwood are TO be believed or the
members of the Board of County Com
missioners. A morning paper under =
takes to refute the story published q
few days ago in the Register about
Benwood saloon keepers receiving 11e-'
tice to make application for licenses,
by alleging that the members of the
Board Of Commissioners denied the
facts as stated in this paper.
This, however, does not prove the
case, for the Benwood liquor men in
sist that they have been given Official
notice that they must make applica
ton to the Board for State licenses, and
we're assured that they would be
granted permits upon the approval Of
the Benwood Council. The Benwood
dealers have no purpose in making a
misstatement, for the purchase Of a
license means an annual expenditure
of about $3.50 for each one of them -
enjoy the privilege CT conducting a
business without being subject to the
fear Of an indictment at each sitting OF
the grand jury.
So far as they are concerned, they
would be willing for the liquor ques-
ton to remain as it is, for it would
save that much to them. Not only do
them claim that they have been ask
ed TO make applications by county Off
Gals, but several from Benwood at
tended the last meeting of the County
Court in person for that reason. but
understood that the matter was defer
red for consideration by the Board
Whether this action OF the Beard was
due TO a change of purpose or a de-
sire to act upon all applications at
one time, Is not positively known. The
facts as previously published in the
Register have been since corroborated
not only through the columns of this
paper but other papers as well.
The interested public of Marshall
county are left to judge the reason of
the Commissioners alleged denials.
