Pawnee county seems to be a little

BeIpre Citizens Excited.

We were in Belpre the first of this
week and found the citizens of that
thrifty burg considerably stirred up
over the question of peddlers. Some
of that fraternity had been camping
near the town for several days. There
is very stringent state law against
these people operating in this state
without license and it is the duty of
every good citizen to see that it is en-
forced.
