The Careless
ness of Man
?
Is often the cause of bitter disap
pointments. The modern man
| looks after the future welfare of
his family by buying life insur
ance, Government bonds or some
other safe investment, and neg
lects one thing that possibly
wtiuld be more Consolation and
t comfort in case he was called
f away. And that is a modern pho
tograph; 90% of our business is
women ;md children. The men
are always put tin? *t off until
finally a oO^'ned woman
brings in an old tin-type taken
when fui was 20, and has it cop
, ied. Not much comfort, but it's
all she has. Don't you think a
? small investment in photography
would be a good one for you?

quainted with the applicant, that
they have good reason to believe
that each and all of the state
ments contained in the petition
are true, and stating their names
in full, and their placcs of resi
dence and the kind of business
in which they are engaged.
i If the business is to be carried
on in an incorporated city, town
'or village the municipal authori
ties whereof are not vested with
the sole power to grant licenses,
the applicant shall pi ocur e from
! the clerk of such city, town 01
?village a certified copy of the or
der or resolution of the Council
of said city, town or village au
thorizing or assenting to such li
cense, and shall file such certi
fied copy with his said petition.
Section 1. The court shall hear
the petitions at a regular or spe
cial term called for that purpose
on the first Monday of April of
each year, in the order in which
they are filed with the clerk, who
shall prepare a docket thereof,
and the court shall grant or re
fuse the licenses applied for. The
said County court shall hear any
petitions of residents of the coun
ty. in addition to that of the ap
j plicant, in favor of, and any re
I monstrance against the applica
tion for such license, and in all
leases shall refuse the same when
ever in the opinion of said court
(having due regard to the num
ber and character of the petition
ers for and against said applica
tion) such license is not neces
sary, or that the applicant is not
a fit person to whom such licenso
should be granted. Upon suffi
cient cause being shown, or proof
being made to said court, that the
person holding the license has
knowingly violated any law of the
State, relating to the sale of li
quors, the said court, upon notice
being given to the person licensed
shall revoke the said license.
Section 14. If the license de
sired is for any of the purposes
i named in paragraphs b, c and e
of said first section and the busi
ness is to be carried on in an in
corporated city, town or village,
the municipal authorities where
of are vested with the sole power
of granting such license, the
Council shall constitute a license
court for such municipality, of
which the Mayor shall be presi
dent and the clerk of the munic
ipality shall be clerk of said court,
in each case without any addition
al compensation. The court so
constituted shall hear and deter
mine petitions for such license
and remonstrances of residents*
against the same, which shall in
all things conform to the require
ments of the petitions of .vppli- 1
cants and remonstrances of resi
dents in county courts; and the
said clerk shall perform all duties
as to publication and otherwise
required of clerks of county
courts. ,
Such license court shall be gov
erned and controlled in the hear
ing and granting or refusing such
license in all respects as pre-j
scribed herein for granting or re-1
fusing such license by the County j
courts. Said license court shall
convene for hearing such peti
tions at the same time provided ;
herein for County courts and shall !
sit from day to day until the bus- j
iness is completed.
Section 16. When the county
or license court shall have grant
ed a license for any of the pur
poses mentioned in paragraphs b.
c and e or of said first section I
as provided herein the clerk of j
the County court shall issue a j
certificate of license in the form
to be prescribed by the State Tax
commissioner, etc. Such certifi
cate shall be turned over by the
clerk to the officer to whom the
State tax is to be paid as pre
scribed in the case of certificates
in other cases, and his receipt foi
such tax. written on the certifi
cate. shall, with the certificate,
constitute a license, while it re
I mains in force, to the person and |
for the purpose specified in the ,
certificate, except so far as other
wise proided in this chapter.
The above is a synopsis of the i
law as it now exists, and I believe
the proper construction of it is
that all applications for the sale
of intoxicating liquors should be
filel with the proper authorities
at such time before the first Mon
day in April of each year so that
the publication of the intention
of the applicant may be publish
ed at least twenty-two nor more
than thirty days prior to that
time. And after that time has
, elapsed no application can w r*l
ceived by the authorities until the
following year. In other words,
all those who have failed to make
proper aplication for a license to
sell spirituous liquors in this
State for the license year begin
ning May 1, 1905, are estopped
from securing such license until
' 1906. , . .
As will be seen from clause foui
of section 12, no person or cor
poration can hereafter secure li
cense for more than one saloon
in a county, except that any per
son, firm or corporation may se
cure a license to sell liquors at
wholesale and retail providing
that the application is made for
lone and the same place, and ex
cept further, that the application
be a distiller or brewer, he has
applied or intends to apply for a
wholesale dealers' license m the
i county. In the country districts
land in towns and villages where
| a special charter has not been
iirranlid such towns and villages
I by the Legislature giving them
? the right and authority to grant
1 licenses through the Council or
Excise board, all appl:cations
should be made to the County
court and filed with the clerk of
said court in the proper time. In
I the cities find towns where,
through a special act of the Leg
islature, authority has been given
the Council* to grant or refuse
licenses in conjunction with the
County court applications should
be filed with the clerk of the
County court as well as the de^
posit of $10 made with said clerk
and a copy of said petition filed
with the clerk or recorder of said
city or town and a permit be
granted bv the Council to apply
to said County court for such li
cense. The County clerk being
the proper officer to publish, etc.
j In cities, such as S'stersville,
Parkersburg and others, where
by the provisions t?f the city au
thority exclusive authority to
grant or refuse license to sell spir
ituous liquors, wine, beer, etc.,
has been given the City Council
(as is mentioned ' and contained
in sectio.i 28 of the Parkersburg
| charter, passed by the Legisla
I ture of 1903) all applications
j should be filed with the clerk or
j auditor, as well as the sum of
I money to defray the expenses of
j publication. Therefore, it will be
I seen that the Mayor and City
I Council of such cities compose the
i license board and have sole con
trol of the matter, and the County
court has nothing whatever to do
with the granting >T licenses in
such cities as specified herein.

Court Doings
The County court met in spec
ial session Monday with all three
of its members present, and th*?
routine of mattens for their con
sideration had been set forth in
the call and duly advertised. \
number of parties submitted var
ious propositions to keep the p">or
at t lie County infirmary ior the
year commencing April 1, 1905.
.The contract was awarded to F.
G. Locke, who agrees to reside at
the house upon said farm, board,
keep and take care of all inmates,
furnishing the same with suitable
clothing and proper medical at
tention. for the consideration of
$3.50 per week for each and ev
ery inmate, also free use of the
farm, consisting of about 105
acres and 152 poles, and the privi
lege of working any inmaie who
is physically able to perform man* I
ual labor. Never in the history
of the county has the court
made such liberal provisions for
the support and maintenance of
the poor of this county, and the
price paid is amply sufficient to
keep and care for the poor in
such a manner as to be abovev
criticism. J. B. Spencer was ap
pointed superintendent of turn
pike from the Pursley bridge to
| Middlebourae : E. A. Smith, sup
erintendent from M'ddlcbourne
