GLORIOUS" drunk in that little city while
on visit there some two weeks ago,
which extended over several days lin
fact until his wife had to 60 up and per-
susde hubby" to come bome--eveu as
though he had been the waywzrd "Bill
Bailey"
He should at least have patronized
boue industry. and il reports arc true,
Delta might have been dry town. uu-
til now supply could have been shipped

be arrived at. when utterances OF
his paper for the past few months is
considered. 10 that he is such thorough
prohibitonist that be was endeavoring
to drink the town dry.
This paper is not in the habit OF men
tioning common ordinary drunks, but
wheu q fellow "crax Gshes" one week
before election to 4 prohibition ticket
and afterwards puts himself up rs the
