A crippled fellow by by the name
Of Ed. Mackey applied to the VIII
lage Recorder, Loren Clark, Friday
for a license to sell razors, collar
button etc. on the streets, which
was given him; about 8 o'clock in
tho evening he mounted a dray and
succeeding in disposing Of seventy
four razors at one dollar a piece, in
a little less than an hour and which
can be purchased at wholesale at a
cost Of Is cents piece. He told a re-
porter Of the D a l. that the peo-
pie of this town had no right to cry
about hard times as he was taking
out eighty three dollars of the town
and that all was done in less than an
hour. He left here for st. Peter. This
is another example of how the peo-
pie can be taken in by buying goods
from a stranger. The same razors
can be bought from our hard
ware dealers at twenty-five cents
piece and they are satisfied with
the profit and is enough to assist
them in paying their taxes for
street work, library, churches
and many other enterprises of our
town. What did the razor man do
for the town; if there is any chari-
tDle work to be done ask him to con
tribute. This vender could only have
been assessed one dollar and a half
for a license. Is this justice to our
home merchants?
