HOW PROHIBITION WORKS
IN A GEORGIA DRY CITY
No Good Has Resulted and Taxes
Have Increased 10 per Cent.
Dunnellon, Fla. Nov. II. 19O-

DunnellOn, Fla, Nov. II. 1907.
Editor AdvOcate:-While in this
city several days ago gentleman
from Valdosta. Ga. paid my place of
business call. and in speaking of the
wet and dry" situation in his home
town told me- that so far as he could
see no good had resulted from "d.y-
ing" the town SO far as the people of
the city We're concerned. He told me
that if anything the drying Of Val
dnsta had injured the town i'm bust
ness way. and had not only hurt ;hc
prices of real estate but had caused
the city board of appraisers of that
city To make a general raise OF ~
Ter cent in the valuation Of property
for taxation purposes. I'm support of
this statement the gentleman furnish
"a me with the following letter:

MI OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CltE:
Dear Sir-The board of tax apprais-
ers have assessed the value Of your
real estate at $5.5oe: other property,
$e100. Should you desire To come be
fore the board in regard to this you
can do 50 on the cath day of October.
AT O'Clock a. m, when they will De
in session.
In addition To- the above assessment.
the board has made general raise of
10 per cent of the value of property
in the city in which your property
shares. Very truly yours,

l think that the people of Marion
county are now carrying about all the
taxes they can afford. and if drying"
the county will in any way raise r1e
taxes. L say let the county remain wet.
But understand me. / believe in strict
regulation of the saloons; open at 3

seats or anything OF that kind which
will cause people To tarry around the
saloons; and last but by no means
least. keep the negro wenches out of
the saloons at all times.
am certainly glad To see that the
city council Of Dunnellon has adopted
an ordinance closing the saloons here
az 10 O'Clock at night and not allow
ing them TO open until o'clock in the
morning. | also hope To see them pass
a an early date an ordinance prohibit
ing the women from entering the Sa-
looms. Such ordinances VIII have a
b, neficial effect upon the labOIing
class of people and will do much TO
counteract the present feeling of pre-
judice that exists against the Sa
looms. With strict regulation the sa-

HUMOR OF THE HOUR
The Mrona Word AGAIN.

There is an Evanston lady who fire.
ouently attaches to words meanings
that are not warranted by the dlction'
aries. Her husband, being a purist,
never fails when he hears her using a
nlalapropism to call her attention to 1t,
generally with an almost fearful pro
test. A few evenings ago they attend
ed a party at the Country club and
with several other men and women
formed a group ut one end of the ball
room. Turning TO one Of her compan-
ions, the lady OF spurious definitions
exclaimed:
"Oh. Mrs. Blankley. saw your two
sons as they were on their way To
high school this morning! What big,
starlight boys they are getting to be-"
Then, seeing a look Of pain upon her
husbands face, she hurriedly added:
There! I've gone and used the
wrong word again. William says I'm
getting to be n regular Mrs. MOllypOp."
