They All Get It.We Rre not in favor of saloons, dispensaries, blinil tigers or any other way of selling whiskey, hot if the people of Mt. Olive and surrounding country who get their express matter at this place must have whiskey all the year round, and if some of our inhabitants have to run blind tigers to supply the demand for It, why we say give us n dispensary and let tlie revenue stay in our town. We need electric lights, water works; paved streets, street rat?ways and why not start the hall rolling? A new comer Utfy arrive in our town and if he is “one of tlie boys” in less than a week he can get liquor in a half a dozen different places. We are proned to believe that there are families here who get their support principally from the sale of liquor. Even to the country lad of twelve lt;r fifteen summers can buy it. That being the case why not have a dispensary? Tnen the kid is knocked out, the toper gets an average drink and the town gets a hondsome revenue.—Mt. Olive Tribune.
