BERRYVILLE, VA, April THE April
! term of Clark County Court convened on
| Tuesday, with Hon. s. J. - Moore on the
bench. There is usually a large crowd a
| this court, but the farmers, being busy
with their spring ploughing, which has
| been delayed by the frequent rains, the
attendance was comparatively small. Il
| good deal of interest was taken by the
people of the town in the application OF
Mr.. William II. Lane for license to sell
| liquors on Church street, the granting Of
which was opposed by a large number Of
| prominent citizens upon the ground that
| IN the square IN which it was proposed to
| open the saloon there were already three
saloons, all on one side of the street, and
that one side of the street should be left
open for the passage of ladies and chill
dren. After a contest lasting two days
the Court refused the application. The
matter will probably be taken to the Cir
cult Court
Liquor licenses were granted to Messrs.
| d. Osburne, L. n. Castleman, Albert FL
