Citizens Of Holly

Intemperanoe is the greatest evil
in our community. The licensed
saloon promotes intemperance.
hence citizens vi o vote for IL
censed saloons vote to promote
evil, and set snare for youth, and
those who have acquired an appe-
tite for liquor. The logic of this
is apparent. We have no war to
make on those who have been Ii
censed to promote this evil. but we
purpose to clear our own skirts b.
voting against licensed saloon,
aud banishing this evil from our
town. There will be anti-saloon
petitions circulated next week. and
