SprlnSville In spite OF the fact that
there IS no regularly licensed place for
/ the sale OF lntoXicants, drunkenness is
quite common. SAYS the Independent:

has such citizen and the Globe Header
tells about him thusly:
we imagine it would take a person
! with more than ordinary genius to make
a razor if the different parts were before
