Note that Mr. Snider says that the saloon will cost

that it increases the countys expense of prosecution

places of refuge, proves the saloon to be a bitter

He who would succeed must arm
himself with three vital and most
necessary weapons. First, he must
have ceaseless industry second, he
must have limitless ambition Of pur-

three, and something else beside-the
gift OF imagination,-and it matters
not, | believe, whether the life Of a
man begins in a cobbler's shop or a
