No. 2-"A. looai Professor who visits Henson occas- ionally must now under Lool Op- tion pay 50 cents for his dinner." Well, a, man ought to get a good din- ner for 50 cents. We suppose he might have been. able to get a.50 cent din- ner before Local Option went into force. In any, case tve are assured' that hotel accommodation is mucb better than it used to be and that the rates are as reasonable as the were before the town went "dry,", No. 3 --"The story goes that Jack - eons' factory is to be moved from town if the vote be declared for Lo- cal Option. Such nonsense is hardly worth noticing,' still it has been put forward as a reason for opposing the movement.
