" Sheriff Hunter Kays that, on account of regular routine business which requires his personal attention in the sheriff's office, it is impossible for him to watch 01 , up, run in on and catch up with all the whisky selling and gamc bliug which is reported to him u* by anonymous letters in various I)r parts of the county ; but that he lg has done and will continue to do the besthecan under the circum* stances. He says that he would t suggest, and does earnestly sug' gest, and request that every 111 magistrate's constable in Lancasa ter county meet him at the court d house here at 10 o'clock on the r. first Monday in February, next, ,p and talk this matter over and d pull together and stop this pernicious gambling and whisky selling that is goine on all oyer the county. Sheriff'Hunter says 10 that the magistrates' constables g. have taken the same oath of office that he has and that it is as much their duty as his to look after violations of the law which l" are going on in their respective e townships. m't I VII u tting INS LCh. date women. ompany
