cense to dispense liquor at his place

disposed of his business to Andrew
Wysong, who secured license. but no

had surrendered his license, and so in
counting up the number of licenses is
sued in the last twelve months, the
records showed the issuance of fifty
three. A local saloon keeper, however,
pointed out where the county officials
had been in error, much to their relief.
