DisPENsARY SYSTEM A SUCCESS

the counties are beginning to look IA
Torabjy on the adoption of the system,

The profits from the dispensaries in
all the counties that have tried it are
tar above the receipts received from

crime has been beyond the expecta-
tion of everybody.
The counties which have adopted
the plan are being watched by the
other counties of the state, and their
good records. both in the decrease OF
crime and their large profits, promise
to have much influence in the next
