Our neighboring town OF SharpSburg
seems to be wide open for the sale OF
liquor on Sundays. Almost everybody
seems able to get whiskey there at any
time. Last Sunday a gang OF negroes
went from ShepherdStown 10 SharpSburg,
where they got very drunk on liquor that
they bought there, and when they came
back here three OF them were lodged in
Jail for dlsorderly conduct These open
and fragrant violations OF the law are
disgrace to Washington county, especial
ly as it is said that the officers wink al
Sunday selling. We are rather OF the
opinion that Judge Keedy will give sur
prise to these illegal whiSkey sellers some
of these fine days.
