Eighty packages of whisky
were counted in the depot early
Monday morning before Christ
mas, and We were told that equal
ly as many had just been deliv-
cred. And it did not stop at this,
of course. Other nearby towns
were not forgotten; Gibsland, for
instance, as we learn, between
900 and 1000 gallons being on
hand at the depot all at one time,
a great deal of this shipment be-
ing for different points in Clai-
borne parish and Arkansas.
What's the use of dry territory
if those opposed to liquor have
IL be imposed upon in any such
way? The next legislature will
no doubt be called upon to enact
law to prevent such wholesale
shipment of whiskey in parishes
and towns that have voted dry"
and where the sentiment is 50
strongly against it.-Arcadia
