sioners, and began to complain bitter
ly that their "liberty" hid been taken
away from them. Mr. Dl Hill, who
has been retailing liquor near Stan
tonsburg was refused license and great
was the joy in prohibition circles,
At this juncture, when everybody
was on the alert to hear of others who
bad failed to procure their license it
was announced auth ritatively that
the Commissioners had granted licenses
to Hatts and Jackson in Wilson, and
A. Barnes in Ulack Crock, and others
perhaps, in direct violation of their
ordinance,
This action of the Commissioners
has been spoken of very harshly, and
minv have accused them of lack of
back-bone and courage. It does in
deed seem strange, after passing such
a stringent law, which could not be
misunderstood, that our Commission
ers completely turned their back on
thpir first resolution ; and granted the
license to parties who could not com
ply with- their requirements. It is not
our province to judge and so wc mere
ly state what is generally believed.
We can only add that it behooves
the Commissioners to make some ex
planation to the frUbiic if they do not
wish to be judged too harshly. The
Advance condemns no man, but. in
common with all the good citizens of
the county, it desires au explanation
and its columns are open to eiuier of
the Commissioners for any expletaa-

A JVord of Adoice to Young Me n. r
Gov. Jarvis, in his Inaugural' address,
gives th-following excellent advice to the
young mdulof the State, says he:
"There is too great a tendency. I fear,
among mr young men to leave lh farnn
and workshops of tho country;' 6ome for
Uinvloymcni ia nlifet ihey think more lin-
orable vocations in cities aud towns; others, -more
ambitious, for the supposed. e:ise and
'lorv ff professional lif-J.' Public opinion
is not. altogether blameless lor this mistake,
and should hastejn to correct it let t often
leads these youn;; men into failures, aud
failui'es-info vices. " Thb" sucbessfd f irmer
or mechanic is none the less honorable, and
useful than the successful lawyer or doctor;
and how inconina'rably greater Is lie hi
etther than he .h'o fails in the profession.
I cannot forbear, in this connection, to re
fer b the example of a young frwud of
mine as WorSiyof imitation and to a3k
yom g men to study jl, Al; hough a Son of a
distinguished ex-Supreme Court Judja an'd
a nephew olonc of the State's most useful
Governors, he went into a workshop as a
boy, worked at his trade, a id U now the
master machinist of a railroa l C9m?uy.
The exanmle of such men i va'uible in any
community, and will give to labor the digr
nity and reepect it deserves."
