a great deal of epeculation as to whether
Ciediton would get two licenses, it having
been rumored that one of our hotels would
be cot off. Now we understand we are
to have three, that is both hotels and a

a bad sort of a fellow at all, as he saw fit
that we ehould have extra facilities to
proettre strong drink in our village. In
this agaiii we differ with him as we think
two lieensea are enough in Crediton.

license, Inspector (protem) Sprague having
promised to distribute them at the one
