Jackson Saloons Close. Jackson, Tenn., Jan. 1. The soft' drink dealers threw up the sponge last night after five months' prosecution. At the stroke of twelve the doors of every stand in the city were closed and the soft" drink business ceased to exist as Jackson entered upon the new year. The action of County Court Clerk J. A. Thompson in taking steps to collect the State and county tax of a retail liij uor dealer from each of the soft" drink dealers was the final blow. . Mr. Thompson based his action upon Note Hardy, Malone & Jones will give to the contestant receiving the greatest number of votes from Wednesday, Jan. the recent ruling of the Supreme Court, 4, 191 1, (last count) to Wednesday, Jan. 11,1911 (next count), making the possession of a United a hrm due bill tor $4.00, good for its hace value in merchan dise and 20000 votes on the piano.
