A Port Valley correspondent says in the Macon Telegraph that there is a strong sentiment there in favor of a dispensary iu Port Valley. The writer says a peti tion addressed ^Representatives Richardson and Brown is being circulated. The petition, as pub lished in the Telegraph Tuesday morning, is as follows: "*“We, the undersigned citizens, taxpayers and qualified voters of Fort Valley and vicinity respect- i ^at you introduce iu the legislature and have passed an act to establish and maintain a dispensary for the sale of whisky, beer and other intoxicants iu the town of Fort Valley. “That there is a profound senti ment among our best citizens fa voring th$ establishment'of such at this place is evidenced by the signatures below. “That Port Valley is being fi nancially sapped and no moral good-accomplished by the present local option law is clearly indi cated by the following facts which are respectfully submitted for your careful consideration, and while the figures are not absolute ly, they are approximately, cor rect. “There is paid at 25 cents a package about $1,600 a year for express charges on whiskiy ship ped to this point. This $1,600 representing 6,400 packages, or rather, gallons of whiskey as it does, means at the minimum price of $2 per gallon, $12,800. The postage and cost fotf money orders on the above 6,400 pack ages at 5 cents each represents $320. “Prom the foregoing it will be seen that the people of Port Val ley and immediate vicinity pay each year: For whiskey $12,800 For express on same 1,600 For postage and money orders 820 Making a grand total of $14,720 “The above is a constant and heavy drain on the resources of individuals and goes to the en richment of adjoining couuties ab Houston’s expense. “The establishment of a dis pensary here would not only save the $1,920 paid as tribute to the express company and postffice, bub the profit accruing from the sale thereof would remain in the county, where it properly belongs, and make possible the reduction of taxation or the inauguration of many much needed public util ities. “Under the present system our county is constantly put to the expense of prosecuting violators of the local option ' law. With the establtshment of a well-reg ulated dispensary, ‘blind tigers’, which for the last two decades, have been plying their nefarious trade in and around here—a men ace to the morals and health of the community—would almost, if not entirely, disappear. “Therefore, we most urgently but respectfully request that you as our immediate representatives, introduce a measure as suggested above, believing as we do that it will not only tend to lessen wrong-doing and reduce taxation but otherwise have a salutary ef feet on the community in gener al.” «#■#•<►• Blankets, Blankets—Headquar ters for Blankets.

The mules we sell are raised in ihe mountains of Ten nessee and are stronger and hardier than the Western mules, and are well broke and will stand as much work the first year as the second. Owing to the tact that our expenses are light, we are prepared to save you money. Remember, all the mules we sell are guaranteed to be all right, or your money will be refunded. We will have in a car of these mules*^November 1st, next. Call and see them.
