Show : THE NEWS FROM FILLMORE ; PclCc Affairs and Local Happenings at the Copnty Seal Mrs. Addle Robinson Palmer Is visiting vis-iting with her parents, Mr, and Mrs Charles Itobinson of this city. Preparations are being made upon a large scale, for the elaborate celebration celebra-tion of the 21th or July. This Is well. The sacrifice and labor of the pin-' pin-' net rs into these valleys ought to be honored in every consistent way. Hut In Fillmore the people have fallen Into the huhlt. of slighting the Fourth and of making a special effort on the 21th. Now, of the two holidays, the national holiday Is historically so much more Important than the mite holiday that the two really ought not to be coupled together In our thought. A stranger visiting In our town lor a few weeks at the present time of !he year could not be blamed If h should report us as being Kparetitly not. very patriotic. Celebrate th 2tth by all meiins, but remember another year that it does not lul l to the importance ol July 21, 1M7, to neglect showing at le.ist an equal obsetvance of the anniversary of July 4, lTTfi. The fololwlng Is quoted from the Progress Itevlew of last week: "Some time in February last Deputy SlierlM Huntsman made complaint com-plaint before City Justice Giles against Win. S'peakman for breach of the liquor la', and a search warrant was Issued at the time, held unserved until un-til yesterday morning, when the officer, offi-cer, after some little trouble with the pioprletor, made the search, finding a onantlty of beer and liquor, which he Heine d, and Is hoi. ling pending further steps In the case." The affair bits caused u goo I tle.il ol ulk on the streets and about town. The sentiment seems to be almost enii.illv divided between the ofTici-r and Mi. Speaksnian. In general, the public Is ge.tltig tired of prohibition. They want a change. A vote in Fillmore Fill-more would no doubt declare In favor ol high licence and strict regulation as agnlnst the present prohlbtory law. It Is the same old quesrit n stated over SK.tln. Is it belter to compel jM-ople to be good or to alii' them individual free !om? Good aiK'itiietits may be advanced ad-vanced on either ride, and the question could hardly be setjled by an off hand deliatii. Hut one thing seems true witho'ii. any dissenting voice, namely, that In matters of government If the people want a thing they might to i have It. The people wanted prohlhl- I t'on, and therelore they should have I rtrd and did get It. Now, If they want I i change they ought to have the "hnnge, even though that change I "'g'lt not Improve mutters very much. vote on the question woul I be ex- ' eedingly Interesting. ' |
