The Saloon—What good has it eyerdone? Of what advantage is it to us as a nation ? Has Us influences ever helped in one good cause? The old maxim “Doesjt make anyone truly happier, wiser or better?” if applied to this business would certainly prove its failures in any of these respects, and if you add or increase their usefulness, you will still find no

excuse for its existence that is legitimate, yet it has been ju our midst as a licensed eril thirty odd years. Some ofler the excuse that it helps pay the school fund, as if the children it deprives of educations and the crimes it brings us to punish,=the expense of trial, prison and altiishouse, the care for its victims do not tar exceed in cost what it brings te cur coffers as a government; when nine-tenths of the crimes committed are caused directly or indirectly by strong drink. Tis true some do get rich by Jiau4Jing .it but it is then just a snare to ttieir soul;, and fails in the tests still which I mentioned. W'e have been at the place now for sometime that one can say anything against the saloon he pleases and no one will be offeuded or have his feelings hurt, but ivheu you undertake to place the responsibility of its continuance then you get on forbidden ground abd hurt tender feelings aud we women are at a loss to know how anything that is an acknowledged evil can be conderaued and routed without touching both instigators and propagators. Cau anyone tell us how ? Allie R. Law, Editress. Changes in Election Law ,j Attorney General Smith has been cajled upon to interpret the laws passedby the late legislature, and says that by an act of 1893 (house bill No. 168. j the time of holding the election fbr trustees, justices of peace, asessors, constables, road supervisors and all such other officers are to he elected at the general election to be held oil the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November 1891, and every four years after. These elections must be conducted under the provisions of the law governing general elections. Township trustees and assessors now in office will serve until the first Monday in August, 1895, although their successors, as above stated will

be elected on tne first luesday after the first Monday in November, 1894. All other township officers except trustees $nd assessors will take their offices immediately after their election, in November, 1894. By the act of 1891, road supervisors are elected lor four years at the same time that township officers are elected the election of supervisors, as well as other township officers Is changed from April tc» November, but by a still further enactment (Senate bill No. 353 introduced by Mr. Barnes) road supervisors, instead of being elected, are appointed by township trustees, but their terms of office are the same as now provided by law ; so that supervisors heretofore elected, will continue until the trustees of their respective towushlp are succeeded by persons chosen at the next election. Thereafter road supervisors, instead of being elected at the same time as township trustees, will be appointed by ^hem and hold for and during the same period. Rev. F. C.

*r “C. C. C. Certain Chill Core” in not the best remedy you have ever used for Chills and Fever your money will be refunded. Vlcasant to take. For sale by Bergen, Oliphant & Co, Business is business, and what Petersburg needs is several manufactories. All business enterprises should be encouraged and factories should be located. We need manufacturing enterprises and the monied men of Petersburg should take an active par.t in securing factories for the town. Don’t sit back and throw cold water on any new enterprise simply because you have all ol this world’s goods you need during lifetime. It the citizens have made all they have right here they should be willing to help make the town more prosperous and put it still to the front. Petersburg has grown considerably during the past five or six years, ^>qt by an effort on the part of capitalists it can still be made to increase double what it now is in the next few years. Make an effort to secure factories or something else. j The little fiasco of last Thursday evening between the editors of the republican papers created quite an excitement on Main street, but was soon over. George Krebs, brother of the editor of the Press, did the principal slugging of that side, while Harrell, took the News’ side of the case. Nothing more serious than a black eye or two and a few bruises. Friday qiorni'ig Krebs was before Squire Chappell, for assault—five dollars and costs. This ends all hostilities.
