LITTLETON A DRY TOWN.
The Halifax Commissioners Refuse to Grant
License to Liquor Dealers.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Weldon. N. c.. July 2.-The commits
sioners Of Halifax county had very i'm
portant question to decide Monday. 1t was
as to the issuing of liquor license or not
for the town of Littleton. Five liquor
men presented their petitions, properly
made out, according to law, and there was
a counter petition signed by So OF the
one hundred voters in Littleton, asking
the board not to grant license to any
one to retail liquors in the town OF Lit
Teton The liquor men were represented
by Judge Thos. N. Hill and Senator f. H.
Travis, while Mr.. Howard Aston and
Mr.. W. A. Dunn appeared for the people.
The board announced that they would re-
fuse to issue the license.
There was little dog in the case, and
the animal played. an important part. 1t
appears that some time ago when that
noble band of Christian women, known as
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union
met in Littleton, some one either
in spirit of fun or ridicule dressed up
a little dog belonging to ]. B. Pierce, a
bar-keeper, and attached a temperance
banner to it. Rev. j. NJ. Rhodes, presi-
dent of Littleton Female College, had
something to say of the incident in SER
mon The next day he was attacked by
one of the liquor men. These things,
coupled with a strong sentiment formerly
existing against the liquor traffic, in the
home town of the Methodist college,
caused the people to protest against the
licensing of rooms in LttletOn in the
future.
