that they never before did such a
heavy Christmas business SO early IN
the winter. The early Christmas
shopping campaign has brought results
and not only the merchant and his en-

mas shopper would do we'll, too, to
take the postofice departments adj
vice and mail his packages at once,
writing on the package, Not to Be

off his hands then and there is added
relief in the assurance that by mailing
them early there is no danger of delay

During the next two weeks the court
of the Prospect mayor, ordinarily
rather lonesome place. will be trans
formed into one of the busiest places
in the county. on Monday afternoon
at one o'clock there will commence
the first case brought under the Rose
option law that has ever been brought
to trial in Prospect. The villagers are
rather curious to know all about II
and viii attend in large numbers
when Edward Burke, of this city,
charged by Stillwell with selling
whisky, will be put on trial.
Burke has summoned many wit
nesses and he and his friends are con-
iidcnt Of acquital. The trial will be a
long, drawn out affair and will prob
ably not conclude until late in the
evening Many Marionites, besides
those directly interested in the case,
will go to Prospect to hear the trial.
1t is likely that Marshall Lauer will
ask the mayor to appoint several spe-
cial officers, TO see that order is main
tained throughout the various trials.
Prospect people fear their village may
be the scene of an outbreak and clash
between "wets" and "drys."
II is now believed that all of the
cases i'm which Stillwell claims to have
evidence have been brought and that
there will be no more prosecutions
commenced until other league agents
secure evidence of Illegal selling.
