The dispensary has just taken its first semi annual inven tory and this shows ;that from the time from July 1, till today, they hate a net profit, after the payment of ev ery expense of over $1,600 and that amount will be declared as dividends for the time. This amount will be di Tided as follows: $400 to the public school fund of the county: $C00 to the general county fund, and $600 to the town treasury. During the time there has not been more than one tenth of the drunkenness that was here daring the same period before the opening of the dispensary. The arrests for drunkenness in ' the town will not show a larger percentage than this and there has . not been an arrest in the dispensary. The system is work ing smoothly and is generally satisfac tory. Th rett Discoyery Yct. W. M.
