LID ON AT McCOYSBURG.

Is the Decision of Chief Justice Squire Bussel Backed By Prosecutor Moses Leopold. The reign of Alfred McCoy and even since the McCoy failure, McCoysburg has been running loose, so as to speak. Conditions had become such there of late that the moral stand was being lowered every day to such an extent that resultd in the action taken by the authorities. One of the worst features of the affair was the soft drink and barber shop which persisted in keeping wide open on the Sabbath day and allowing boys to loaf around and drink regardless of age. Two or three of the business places have long since realized the nuisance of such a thing to exist, but probably have persisted in keeping open and a second notice was reported necessary. But it is hoped by this time the parties have awakened to the situation, and that no further action on the part of the authorities will be necessary. This matter should appeal wonderfully to the parents, and it is pretty generally believed that it does. xx
