Wobbleton solemnly affirmed to that the

so that he couldn't find his tongue to tell her that
he had no sweetheart and when he got away from

SABBATH OBSERVANCE.

X circular bearing the signature of His Honor Mayor R. !. Lard, has been issued, in which he states that begin ming on February l, 1909. he will rig idly enforce the state statute which prohibits the keeping open of stores, the sale of merchandise. wine, whiskey, etc, on Sunday.
 There is quite q great deal Oi idle talk about this action upon the part of the mayor, and many rumors that are not true are floating about. For instance we heard man say on We'd nesday that he understood that the sale of newspapers would be prohibit ed, the sale of meat and bread, and medicine. and that the telephone and electric lights and perhaps water works would not operate on Sunday, etc, etc. Of course there lis no such intention on the part of the authori- ties, and there is no such rigidity con- templated by the law In fact, the statute contains proviso that neces- sity may be pleaded as an excuse for violating the preceding section.
 We presume that man might safely buy or sell cigar, meal, or loaf of bread, or piece of meat under the law, but it is intended to compel re- spectful observation of the Lords Day, and this we hope will be done, and should have been done all along.
 AS "a rule there is no necessity to buy dry goods, groceries, clothing and gen eral merchandise on the Sabbath, and this is what the law contemplates in dry town, and in wet town it in- cludes and has special reference to saloons.
 We take it for granted that the mayor and officers do not contemplate making the law obnoxious, and that they simply desire to correct certain existing evils. And this is right, and their bounden duty.
