LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE
Meeting Held Monday Night and the
 Liquor Fight Discussed

The Law and Order League held a meeting at the Methodist church Mon- day night. A very good crowd was out, quite a number being present who have heretofore taken no interest in the law and order movement. Short talks were made by some fifteen or twenty citizens and it seemed to be the general verdict that the League had done good work. Several phases of tKe liquor business were discussed, and it seemed to be the general impress sion that there was no whiskey being sold in town, and from the various expression along this line, it is safe +e say there will be none sold here soon.
 The treasurer's report showed there were sufficient funds on hand to meet current expenses.
 The matter of holding regular meet ings again for awhile was discussed, but no action taken further than a de- cision to hold another meeting on Monday night, October 21.
 The meeting then adjourned to meet on the above date at the Christian church.

GONE OUT OF BUSINESS
Last Suspicious Drink Stand and Pool
 Hall Has Been Closed Up

C: J. MagneSS who has been running a cold drink stand and pool room here for some time, closed up his place Tuesday morning and quit business.
 The principal drinks dispensed by Mr. Magness have been soda, ginger ale and non-tox, but it has been sus- picioned by different parties that he has occasionally dispensed a little booze. Mr. Magness strenously de- nies this, however, and if he has sold any whiskey at all, it has been very little, and it has been done so quietly that the officers have never been able to get sufficient information to justify their issuing charges against him.
 Public sentiment against the sale of intoxicating liquors of any kind has grown so strong that there were Ob- jections to the sale of non-tox. which is generally conceded to be nothing more nor less than an inferior grade of beer. Mr. Magness' attention was called to the fact that parties were being fined in other towns for selling non-tox, and he concluded that the best course for him to pursue would be to close up his businesss and en- gage in something else.
 Mr. Magness is native of Newark. having been born and raised here, and both he and his father have been en- gagged in the liquor business in New ark practically all their lives. up un- til the county voted against license few years ago. The elder Magness quit the liquor business when public sentiment became so strong against it some time ago. and is now engaged in the grocery business, being a member of the firm of N. A. Speed X Co.,. one of the most successful grocery firms in town
 c. J. Magness informs The Joui nal that he will engage iEs farming and the live stock business. He has many friends who will heartily applaud his course, and will join The Journal in wishing him abundant success.
