Will Sell Beer.

Charlton is to have a place where
bottled beer will be sold and it will be
down town in the Braderick building
on North Main street. John O'Don-
nell, formerly of Washington township,
but who has for several years been en-
gagged in the undertaking business in
Ottnmwa, is the man who proposes to
open and run the place. He has been
in Charlton for several days looking
over the ground and consulting with a
number of people here in regard to
opening this kind of an establishment,
and he has also conferred with the
mayor and city council.
O'Donnell's proposition is to engage
in the sale of bottled beer and to pay a
fine of $50 to the city and one of a like
amount to the county, as he would be
selling contrary to law and not as a
lcgailZed saloon! Neither the city nor
county officers are to modest him in his
business except to arrest him once each
month and fine him.
Six OF these places run wide open in
Abba. We understands that there are
4 number of people in Charlton, and
among them are several of our leading
business men, who favor permit ting
O'Donnell to run such 4 place. 1t is
urged by some that the sale of beer can
be better controlled; that the city
needs the money that would accrue
from the fines, and that additional
business would be brought to Charlton.
Well, if the open selling of beer will
benefit the town let us have legalized
saloons, conducted under the law and
paying yearly license of sufficient
amount to mean something in the way
of revenue for the city. Charlton
