 his school elsewhere, as he does not care to have his students surrounded by any such environments. This ill Itself would have been a severe blow to the town. Another large grocery dealer informed his friends that in case of successful vote for license he would move away, as he would not care to run accounts with many cJiS- toners if liquor could be obtained here over the bar.
