CCORDING to rumor about
every place in Lents deals
in liquid refreshments of the for
bidden type. It seems to be
about time that a crusade with a
hatchet as a weapon of attack
was waged by the temperance
leaders of the town. A ’still”
hunt would no doubt reveal sev-
eral persons interested in dis
pensing the stuff—such is the
effect of a bad example one or
two having had the reputation
for handling such traffic since
the early days.
In regard to rumor we are in
clined to be skeptical as to the
so general breaking of the law.
There are a good many who no
doubt are unjustly suspected.
There are others who always will
be suspected, no matter what the
evidence to the contrary, Thus
.
it is evident, as in all such ir-|
regularities, a few had men be-
smirch the entire town.
