There will be no more lawful sales of liquor over the bar. The saloons never did benefit the place, the money paid in for the privilege of operating was paid out again for the evil effects of the business. Some say the blind tigers will now start up* in Williamsport and Attica both. We do not believe this. , No man with any brains would undertake to risk that manner of dping business. As the time passes on, those who dealt in this business and those who patronized these places will get back the habit and as a community we will never need the saloon again, for we will all be better off without them. —-Attica Tribune. .«>,

Try The Democrat's want columns. You will be most agr eje* ably surprised by the results. CUTLEJJY AND TOOLS should be chosen solely for their quality. It is most foolish to buy a knife or a pair of scissors because it is cheap. For instead of buying satisfaction you’ll be purchasing dissatisfaction and disappointment. To avoid them do your buying at this home of fine hardware. C. W. EGER.
