Till looked upon by a loving eye;
There is no fragrance in April’s breezes
Till breathed with joy as they wander by

Too Much Youthful and Other
“Spirits’* in Combination
Considerable undue hilarity was in the
air one night last week, due to too much
moonshine. Three young men of the
town were the ringleaders and attempted
to smash up things in general. They
broke the Jefferson Inn electric sign and
did some damage at Farreys garage. It
was said that the night officer was not
on duty, but the officer says that the boys
passed him and gave no signs of any
trouble. He went to another part of the
town for a while and they broke loose.
The authorities took the case in hand
the next day and found sufficient evi
dence to hold the boys on more than one
count. They felt that as the boys were
young that undue harshness that would
be a detriment to their future was not
advisable. The boys were dealt with
firmly and in a manner that leaves them
in no doubt as to what will happen if
any such attemps are started again.
