odist Church Sale-Other Items. James J. McNally Jr., of Whiting street. was arraigned before Justice Merritt O. Ryder in the Plainville Town Court last night, charged with drunkenness. Attorney Stanley S.. Gwillim prosecuted. McNally was ar- rested by Constable Carl Anderson at Central Square Saturday night. He was found guilty of the charges and a fine Of s5 and costs. was imposed, which amounted to S16.50. McNally appealed the case. It will be tried at the March term of Superior court. McNally is the son of James J. Mo- Nally, a well known local garage own CT. who conducts a place on Whiting street. When asked where he got the liq2or the accused replied that it was secured in Pennington. He also in sisted rhat it was merely hard cider and was no beverage containing a per cent of alcohol. McNally was in com- pany with several other young men of the town.
 The authorities are of the belief that the liquor was purchased in a local store. This is not the first time that arrests have been made for drunken ness within the past few months. Only a short. time ago, one of the local stores was examined, as the officers felt that the proprietors were violating the law by selling Intoxicating bever- ages. None was found, however. Then again, the authorities feel that many of the drunks are due to the fact that some of the men carry a quantity of "Jakey' with them, and when buying a drink of cider, mix the contents. This will give any one a "kck" that would land the strongest drinker in jail it is said. A close watch will be kept on places where liquor is supposed to be sold, and the violaters will be punished to the full est extent of the law, if the authorities have their way. ..-.
