Present appearances indicate that
the state Of Maine will retain on her
statute books a law which during 90
years has been virtually dead. The
election Of a sheriff in Portland last
year who had declared his purpose to
close up an the saloons and other
drinking resorts in the city gave the
people a bad fright Some saw ruin
in the enforcement Of the law. while
others were much disinclined to the
change in their habits which enforce

70 enforce the law would result In the

negative vote was cast after Mr.. Kel-

self not only temperance man. but
a total abstaner. and hrm believer

see why men who love the constitution

that "out Of 1872 cities. towns and viii
lagos having more than 1000 inhabl-
tants only seventy-nine were without

but the fact that only seventy-nine

NEW MAGNOLIA. MAGNOLIA. MASS

The contention sometimes maintained on high au-
thority that there is nothing in a name as "a rose
hy any other name would smell sweet is daily
dsproved by the individual impressions which
names produce. When the word magnolia is heard
there is an idea presented of freshness and beauty
inseparabIy connected with early spring flowers
and glossy, green foliage. When the same name is
applied TO a town as to Magnolia Mass, there is
a similar impression Of something pleasing and de-
lghtfui and is not SURPRISED to find that IL IS
situated in an ideal spot on the beautiful north
shore of the old Bay State. just beyond Salem,
with ITS memories Of witches, and Beverly Farms
where the genial Autocrat of the Breakfast Ia be-

New Magnolia an instant prepossession in its favor
