Upon the asking of his name the

was a wise nnfi commendable move.
While there does not seem to bVany
special necessity In Tbomntville for
this law at this time; there may be In
the near future and as n precaution
It Is and will be prohibitive. The
sentiment ot tha town Is against the
locker dubs almost unanimously
and they will welcome this license.
It was rumored that one was to be
I put In here and very soon, on ac
count of the fact that there was no
license In the city prohibiting K. It
was probably this rumor that in
fluenced the action of the elty fath

hlbitlon and tbe town has been eo
for many Veara. It has prospered
and grown without the peetlferious
stuff, there Is no reason why this will
ot go on to even greater height*.
No one of sound mind and Judge

Increase the population of the town
or bring any Industries here neither
do they think that the people cannot

While tbe ordinance has only been
