The HARPERS DISPENSARY NATTER.
A Correspondent Explains Why the
County Board Refused to Establish 1t.
Editor COUNTY RECORD:

iSNlNOA W ~ l 49, N'''''
| have read with interest the Views
of your correspondent, "Subscrlb.
er". on the whisky question. | be-
lieve that the county diSpensary is Il
far better way of handling whisky
than the oil dispensary sys;em.Now,
We can have it sold just as We want
t,even if it is lief: to three indlvldu-
.als to say where it shall be sold. We
have had men on the county dis
pensarv board who established dis
pensaries where the people asked for
them or needed them. Of course our
sister town of HarperS petltloned to
the county board once or twice last
year for dlspensary to be establish
ed at Harpers, but the said board, as
l am Informed, refused the petition,
saying they would prefer to have the
question put to vote and whichever
way the majority went at the pr'-
cincts near the town, viz, Earls,
Trio and Oak Ridge, they would
act accordingly. When the votes
were counted at Trio the dispensary
got l vote, at Earls lS, at Oak
Ridge l, making a total of 20 votes
cast in favor of the Harpers dis.
pensary.
In the face of this vote of course
our county board dropped the Har-
pers dispensary question; Furthermore
the board saw that there was no
need for a dispensary at Harpers.
I want the readels of The RECORD
who see this letter to recall the old
times, not later than 20 years ago,
when the old ba1-room system held
the county within its clutches. Some
of our old men are still suffering the
effects of that same old system In
their shattered health and mortgaged
homes. They literally drank their
wives aud children out of their
homes. l must say that if our county
dispensary board would grant dis
pensary at Harpers it would bring
back the same old conditions. Many
of our good happy nelghbors, who
have once felt the bite of The NOR.
dar serpentis, know that the craving
fol dispensary liquor and the evil eff
fects are as bad as the jag juice dis
peased by the old bas-rooms. The
opening of a dispeusary at Harpers
would bring tears to the eyes of
many good women who know by sad
experience the awful consequences
of their loved ones yielding TO the
temptation thus offered. The writer
certainly extends heartfelt congratu-
lations to the electors of the three
voting. places named for not allow.
ing this dispensary to be put IN our
midst, as our popular and honorable
county dispeusary board had left the
matter with them entirely.

Olive.
Mrs. White said that the little
Swedish girl possesses a remarkable
voice, but that It's cultivation was
due TO her sisters efforts. Her sister
