We had a snow storm Friday night
and Christmas morning there was ar
inch of snow on the ground. 1t melt
ed some that afternoon and a warm
sun and wind from the south quickly
dispelled it all Sunday. There was a
terrific snow storm in st. Louis and
the northern part of the state Friday.
We had another snow storm Monday
afternoon and night and Tuesday
morning "the beautiful covered the
ground to the depth of five inches OF
more. It thawed some Tuesday after
noon, and sleet fell on the snow that
night. Wednesday morning is clear
and bright.
At IL O'Clock Thursday night the
curtain was drawn on the last licensed
saloon in st. Francois county, wher
the license of Felix Dixon at Elvins
expired. This saloon has done a lane
office business for several weeks, anc
its finished Productive drunk-coulc
be seen almost any day staggering
away from its doors. Several barkeep'
ers we're employed to wait on the trade
and the profits for the past three
months are said to run into the thous'
ands. The closing of this saloon hat
removed the last obstacle to the rigie
enforcement of the option law. 1t il
a well-known fact that the blind tigel
fourishes and has fiourished under
the shadow of the licensed saloon
This shadow which has now been re-
moved has been a handicap to the
officers and others who desire to have
and who intend to see the local option
law enforced. Violators of this law
can now look out for squalls. 1t il
fairly we'll known who they are, ane
all that now remains to be done is tt
collect the evidence. This collection
will be taken and before long thu
Sheriff will have many guests who will
have plenty of time to reflect on thu
stupidity they displayed in gambling
their liberty against the profits deriv'
ed from the illegal sale of BOOZE
Lead Belt News.
