We had Il stormy time at n call
meeting of the town council last
evening. The meeting was called
for the purpose of discussing the
ACCESSIBILITY of licensing gambling
device called "Slot Machine" and
to the surprise of the citizens of the
town, S of the 8 councilmen voted
to allow this Soul-destroying and
He'll desiring device license.
There is no sin in decalogue, to
which the sin of gambling. (be the
starting point seemingly ever so
inocent) il persisted in docs not
lead. The argument presented in
favor of this Hellish device, is that
the (counciD is the custodian of the
town, and the town needs revenue.

Mr.. James r. Witten was in our
valley several days last week, telling
his many friends that he is q can
didate for clerk Of Circuit Court.
In answer to letter, writtqs by
our supervisor recently, through the
columns Of O. v. News, which
evidently was written to the citizens,
or aimed at them of our valley, we
would beg to soy, that he should have
given us chance to answer the
questions he asked without answer
ing them himself, and he also sug.
gested that that we have our roads
double tracked, but we think it is
the custom to have single track
before doubling. If Mr.. Peery is 80
fond of asking question certainly he
will allow us the same privilege, so
we should be glad to see an itenIized
statement, such as Mr.. Burke gave,
showing exactly how much rord ta x
is received yearly, and then how
every dollar of this money was spent
within the past four years. You will
please answer the above question 8,
will you Mr.. Peery, and we will be
veiy much l!iged to you.

In recent years many fraterna1 socia-

purpose is to assure the payment to the
families or dependent relatives of mein-

of good in providing means for imnledi-
