Wallner a saloon license for the new town of Deary at their session Wednesday. The matter has created much dissatisfaction among the anti saloon residents of the new town, who had filed, at the last session, a remon strance against liquor licenses for Deary. The impression was that the commissioners would recognize the sentiment and that the old s ranee would hold good, bitionists believe they should have been given an opportunity to be heard in a matter of this kind before publican board of commissioners took action. One republican voter of Deary said: It looks like the republicans were in favor of prohibition! While the office-seekers were passing resolu remon The prohi our re tions to catch the prohibition votes a board of republican county commissioners were riding rough-shod over the protests of a large majority of the citizens of Deary and granted a saloon license. We are not blaming Mr. Wallner. Personally I like him very much, and if we have a saloon, would as soon see him as any one I know; of run it. But the fact is we want no saloon at Deary." » Announcement. I reaching at Bethel on American ridege at 11 o'clock, Sunday morning, August 2.
