County liquor stats spark debate in Battle Creek and Marshall
The County Treasurer’s report shows forty three saloons across the county with Battle Creek leading at eighteen, Marshall fifteen, Albion three, Homer two, and Athens one. The Journal questions liquor statistics and urges consulting railroad and manufacturer records, noting Battle Creek’s higher population but similar alcohol sales to Marshall, while Marshall’s saloons focus on malt liquor. Holden’s Comedy Co. plans a week at the opera house beginning Monday February 5.
