Some of the boys'were tryipg to get up some kind of a celebration for the ‘ ‘Fourth,’’ but there were hot enough _ to insure anything. ’ X suspect we will have a quiet tithe o f it. There are only a few soldiers here now as al of the-30th Inf. have gone to Manila, and there are only 15 men from the 15th Inf. here to guard the military property and supplies. It is probable this pore .will be abandoned as a.mili­ tary station and the-province put in charge of the-constabulary. Still believe the Constabulary is able to protect the province without the sol­ diers, and as I said before, the town will be bettered without them unless •it is absolutely necessary 'for them to When we were on the round up,Tom, some fifteen years ago.

Tuesday morning the case was resumed, the 'attorneys presenting, their arguments. SutyJ- grass and Dean were the prosecuting attorneys in the case and Fitzgerald and Armstrong represented Harlow, It is said ‘that Mr."Snodgrass gave the case his. closest attention and was able to secure-some valuable testimony from the witnesses. - The-defence attempted toprove an alibi in-that Harlow was-in Dayton' the dti/'oii which, he is charged 'with the liquor.

The company bought straw from tbe plaintiffs and removed it in violation of the contract. The parties named above were employes o f the company and were indicted for tres­ pass’. The civil action was compro­ mised ami the other proceedings dis­ missed.” ONE OBJECTION. About the only objection wo hear to local option is “ Well what is to be done with the drugstores? You assure me. that they will dot be permitted to sell and X will support the move­ ment,” This seems to be tile-bone of contention and it is from the fact that people are not Tally acquainted- with the recent local option Jaws enacted by the legislature. There was a time when local option for a town was a great boon, for the drugstores, but not so today. It matters not •what kind o f legislature you have if tho local and county officers con bo forced to do their duly. Heretofore when- tho the drugstore eases come up there was alack of system iu conducting the cases, Those interested iu the work Of prosecution failed to follow up tho work closely, Then when (he,case rehched the county court*, it went- - no one knows where, If those eases are followed up in the proper manner by an organization that has the sup­ port of the people, there is little fear but that there will lie proseculfonji of tbo offewlm, t Mrs Walter J, Wildinan enter­ tained ip honor of hoy motheiyMrs, E.

Ti.* n v n ' „ . «_ . 1.. '» ONE REASON. One reason why local option should ha in effect here is that it would bo the means of cutting off the supply of liquor for a few from Xenia aud Jamestown, At present there are several persons who make a trip about twice a week to this place for the pur­ pose of taking liquor back to James­ town. We have hc ird it said, theTf is nsmuch \yhiskey sold in Jamestown today as there ever was; I f this is true how is it then that .these people have to come here for their drinks?
