and now reports that she is going to trade in
saloon territory. Her home is in Virden and while the

from Arenzville few days ago and spent $500 with
Jacksonville merchants. He says that he is through

after the saloons voted out made this remark

poor grade he had formerly bought:

arguments knocked into cooked hat at the very
first local option election This argument the
effect that the farmers would longer patronize
town that voted dry" To show how much truth
there this argument it was the outside county
vote that carried the day all three elections. In
addition the farmers Of Morgan county and their wives
and friends signed petition last fall asking
that the town which they traded be kept free from
saloons. These to the number of 1884 do not look
If the average Morgan county farmer very en-
thusiastic about saloons, does it. Yes it is just as
that merchant before quoted said:
1--WE good the saloon crowd
and if they think they tire out, let them
go ahead"
1t is moral certainty that the saloon will never
again raise its loahsome head in Morgan county and
will not necessarily be the farmers that carry the day
in the next election either The business of the
city fast lining up the "dry side in such
wheming numbers that the saloon agitator can hardly
find that will stand and listen to his silly nuen
