Council Reduces License
on “Near Beer.”
At a meeting of the city coun¬
cil on Friday night an ordinance
was adopted reducing the license
on drinks known as “near beer”.
The tax on this commodity had
been heretofore prohibitory.
efforts of council had been to
prohibit all such.drinks in
city, but under the
that are granted by the state
confederate soldiers, three or
of these places had been opened,
and reliable information was
en that several other
places would be opened by
soldiers, so that the high tax that
had been levied had the effect
protecting a certain class of
zens rather than prohibiting
sale.
For this reason the
thought it fair and just to
a reasonable tax that would
all merchants on the same
ing. This wns the treud*of
discussion in council, and all
members a upon _a
_
tax oi $!5 00 upon
dealers.

Can't Be Touched
for painting houses. The reason’s plain. Mastic
is the purest, therefore the most durable and econom¬
ical. There is a whole string of «‘other fellows” claim¬
ing “just as good as Mastic’’ but they don’t prove it.
Maybe they can’t. The analysis of Mastic is pub¬
lished. It’s puule of pure lead, zinc and linseed
oil—the most durable kind of paint—and its purity
is therefore unquestioned.
As purity means durability, the splendid wear¬
ing qualities of Mastic have given it the title of
“The Kind That lasts,” and this title i:i backed
up by our absolute guarantee. Mastic is made by
