that we, the people OF Knox county
voted to keep it out, and we did it

we had quite a lot of murders in

been caused by the use Of rum; take
our citizens out of liquor and there
is no such thing as a fight, but get
them drunk and there will be some

There is only one town in the
mountain regions of Kentucky that
has a saloon, and as soon as they
have a chance the citizens of Bell
county will put an end;t to that, we
hope to see the day come when there
will be no saloons, for as long as
there is one there will debauchery
