While Oil City cannot, perhaps,
boast of being strictly cold-water
town, she can, we believe, lay claim
to having among her residents the
champion temperance man of the
state, If not of the entire country.
Not only has he never drank any kind
of spurious or malt liquors, but he
has never allowed any tea, coffee, soup
or any kind of milk to pass his lips
since he was a child. He is a colored
man, was born in slavery, and because
his father frequently drank more
whisky than was good for him, he re-
solved when boy to never drink any
thing but water. And he has reli
giously kept the resolution. He is
membe;. of the Oil City police force
and his name is Major Franklin
