Fewer liquor licenses likely in Jackson County for 1968
State's Attorney Richard Richman announced notices were sent to all licensees that new 1968 liquor licenses must be filed by December 29. Jackson County issued 22 licenses in 1967, including 18 Class A, one Class B, and three Class C. The Party Time Tavern east of Murphysboro has not operated for months and was licensed to Stella Provenzano Norman this year. No renewal request has been filed by Mrs. Norman for 1968, though a transfer could be considered by the liquor control commissioner W. S. Brandon. The Rendezvous Tavern near Murphysboro is remodeling after a fire and seeks renewal. The Midway Tavern near De Soto was renewed for four years despite a 1963 fire, with continued license payments by Volney Parrish to retain the license during reconstruction.
