SPENCER

The saloon keepers of Spencer are
growing, and the no-license advocates,

and in fact, all Christian people are
glad The people are glad because the
town has undergone a change within
the past three weeks which is a sur
prise to all the Christian people of the
town. There has not been an arrest
made in Spencer for three weeks and
there has not been a real drunk seen
on the streets within that time. All
the saloon keepers are growing be
cause business is slow. and the police
officers. Sheriff Draper and Judge
Curtis have little to do with prisoners
of any kind in this time of peace.
Coming on Christmas however, it is
expected that there will be enough to
cause these people to stir about, be-
cause Spencer is g rather noisy place
in holiday times The last three weeks,
the saloon keepers say. has been one
of the slowest periods of the year. Ac-
cording to the general rules of the liq-
uor business this should not be so. and
the hotel keepers are at a loss to know
what has come into the people.
