The undersigned members of the Lo-
cal Option Committee who had charge
of the campaign last spring take this
occasion to appeal to the citizenship
Of the County to stand back Of the law
and see to it's rigid enforcement
The outcome of that election showed
a healthy sentiment for Local Option
and firm belief in the benefits to be
derived therefrom, and we therefore
urge the organization in every section
of the County of Vigilance Committees
who will see to an observance Of the
law, hereby p edaing tur best efforts
and cooperation toward SAID enforce
ment
OF the officers OF the County we ex.
pect a faithful and efficient execution
OF the law The Act which went into
effect at twelve O'Clock. Friday night,
April 30th. banishing liquor forever
from this County, provides a penalty
for violation OF from $50, to $500 or
Imprisonment OF both. Nothing con-
tanning more than two per cent of
alchohol can be sold, or given away in
a public place, and the Magistrates of
the County are given concurrent juris-
diction with the Court, so that a yio-
lator can be pulled every day in the
year and dozen times dav If neces-
sary.
We look to the people to help us
make this law success.
Respectfully.

The going Into effect Of the local
option law for this county has brought
number Of changes In business
Those who we're Interested In the sale Of
liquor have entered other lines Of hush
ness, while Others are continuing the
business carried IN in conf nc
ton with the liquor business. The
noticeable changes in this section have
come about first in Mr.. +. A. Thomp-
son, who has brought out the general
grocery business Of Messrs. Cough Il
Sanders in this town where he will
continue the business.
Mr.. Phillip S. Bowling aud Mr.. AL
bert Lomax have exchang ID hostelries,
the former now managing and opera
ing Hotel La Plata and the latter
"The New Wills
Mr.. Robert 2. Horney has opened
up at his old stand which he has re-
modelled and improved, a fine ice cream
parlor and lunch room.
All of these gentlemen are men Of
high standing in the county who were
heretofore engaged in the liquor bust
ness but who have bowed to the will
of the majority Of the people and gone
ahead in other pursuits. They deserve
the continued patronage of the public
as well as the many others in the
county who were heretofore engaged
in the legitimate sale Ct liquor. They
were forced out of the business by the
people Of this county and it is the duty
Of these same people to give them all
the encouragement possible in their
present business activities.
