The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1901-03-15
To Danish Saloons.

On February &c, pursuant to call
signed by 116 citizens of Ripley, mass
meeting was held at the courthouse to
discuss the advisability of abolishing
the present corporation of Ripley and
Incorporating under the acts of 1899.
This would bring the town under the
four-mile law, as the census of 1000
gave Ripley less than 1000 inhabitants.
Some of the citizens not being fully
satisfied with the result of the mass
meeting, which left the matter with
petition to the Legislature, it was
agreed by leading advocates on both
sides to hold primary election, which
was done last week, with only the
white qualified voters participating.
There being leading business men on
both sides about the polls, quite an in
terest prevailed, and hard work was
done by both factions. 1t had been
mutually agreed to let the result of
this election settle the question SO far
as this Legislature is concerned, or, in
other words, the result was to be an
instruction to the representative. A
vote of 233 was polled, which resulted
New corporation, III; old corporation,
ia. A bill will be introduced in the
Legislature to abolish the corporation.
This will leave Lauderdale county
without any saloons.

Nice Points In Law.

Mrs. Sarah Bloomstein, wife of the
late Louis Bloomstein, of Nashville,
and children have sued Lizzie L. Bloom
stein, Samuel Bloomstein and Max
Bloomstein. neice and nephews of de-
ceased, respectively, to recover SIS, ZOO
insurance money which the neice and
nephews received after Louis Bloom
STEMS death. The defendants took
out the policies on their uncle some
time prior to his death. The bill
against Lizzie Bloomstein claims she
had no insura BILE interest in her uncle's
life and that therefore the policies were
wavering contracts. The other bills
are similar to the first except as to
name of defendant and amounts sued
for. 1t is not denied that defendants
paid the premiums on the policies. A
nice point of law is involved.

Prof. Aldinger and his base ball
team have captured the town of
Lestershire, New York. They are
putting up good clean ball and TIE
games are drawing immense crowds.
Three games were played last week
one with Syracuse, leaders of the
Eastern League, and two with
Waver)y. Syracuse was defeated a
to I, but Waverly triumphed over
Lestershire in both events. The
scores in both games however, were
close. That factor, known as luck,
was all with Waverly, and this ex-
plains in large measure the double
victory. In one ofthese two games,
Williams struck out nine men, which
is sufficient proof that his left arm
is still with him.

Owing to the inability to secure
the necessary number Of laborers in
Bloomsbury to complete the trolley
lire by the time desired, contractor
M. F. d. Scanlan was compelled to
look elsewhere. Tuesday twenty
two Italians arrived in town and
they were set to work Wednesday
morning. We have a number OF
unemployed men but they appear
too unwilling to work with the
pick and shovel.

Tuesday mornings curb stone
market was the largest of the season.
The space from the corner Of the
alley at the Bloomsbury National
Bank to the west side of Market
street was occupied by wagons.
There was an abundance of veget-
ables and cherries, but raspberries,
especially the red variety were very
scarce. The continued drouth is
responsible for this condition, the
fruit having dried up on the bushes.

Bloomsbury scored an easy victory
over the Scranton Semi Profession
ais on Normal Field, Saturday
afternoon. The visitors were a
gentlemanly lot of fellows, but dis
played little knowledge of the game.
They batted the ball around like
amateurs. The time that they de-
voted to practice previous to their
appearance here, if we are to Judge
by their playing Saturday, was
misimproved. They should change
their name, Semi Professionals is a
misnomer. There was good sized
audience present, but many left be-
fore the game was over. Score IS

Bloomsbury offers nothing of
greater interest just now than the
trolley road, and it is a matter of
considerable discussion as to Just
how some of the staid residents will
act when the line is eventually
completed. Rapid progress has
been made this week. A large
force of men are engaged on Main
street, and the bed, as far as Jefferson
street, is ready for the rails, in fact,
they have been laid as far as Mar
ket street. The contractor prom
ises to have cars running between
Bloomsbury and Espy within the
next four weeks.

Aattatuck council, No f1 3, HOyaI Arcanum. will give q snl0ker night after the regular business session.
 Alice. the seven months old dnugh- ter of Mir and Mrs George Reed of Beacon street, died yesterday morning. The funeral took place this afternoon with interment in Calvary
 cemetery.
 There will be a mass at St Thom- ass at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning
 for the late William Dillane, of Bishop street, who was one of the most popu-
 lar young men in the northern section of the second ward.
 The city has another big problem on hand now which involves an outlay
 of considerable money and it seems to be question as to whether the pub-
 lie or private individuals should meet l the outlay. The Forest park and Chest l nut Hill roads were covered with over l a foot of water last Friday and Satur- day, blocking public travel and cutting ! up the roads to badly that it is about all ones life is worth to drive over i them at the present time, although q large gang of men have been at work since Saturday repairing the damage. It seems that the trouble was caused by back water on account of the new
 dam at Belleview lake, which is said to be so high that in heavy rains streets on low ground in that section will always be flooded. Milk men and others who use these streets regularly are raising Cain about the matter and declare that they are going to sue some one. As soon as the owners of the dam learned of the situation they set d force of men at work fixing the streets, but the dirt is so soft that the l filling in has not helped matters much. l In order to avoid further trouble, the | streets in question will have to be ! raised for a considerable distance, two
 new bridges built and several other l jobs incident to the change attended
 to. This appears to be the only solu-
 tion of the question except the dam
 should be lowered. which is not very
 likely. Mayor kilduff and the board | of public works are looking over the ground to-day and it is probable that
 some plan of immediate relief will be
 arrived at.

Is an advertisement which was fake pure and simple and we are sor- ry for the poor fellow who lost his V. Well, because we read fake ads once in while, that's no reason that all advertisers are of the same class. You'u see advertisers very often say their B or 37-cent tea Is the regular 50-cent tea; again, you'll see where an advertiser says he'll sell you Grain-O, Brain-O or Insane-O for 10 cents per pound and he'll tell you it looks like coffee, tastes like coffee, drinks like coffee. but you can bet your boots it isn't coffee, neither is the other fel- lows 37-cent tea as good as our oo- cent tea. When you read our ads you can always believe what we say to be true. Our say-so in our advertise ment is our do-so in our store. This week our 26-cent butter is of the nice, sweet-tasting quality and we venture to say you often pay 32 cents for but ter not it's equal.
