Mrs. Gantt, who is in the city today, said she desired to correct a rumor which has been in circulation to the effect that Mr. Gantt is going to start a newspaper in this state. She savs that he has no idea of doing anything of the kind.

A large number of the t leading citizens of the town have signed the petition, and a number of merchants, who keep cigarettes for < sale, have also signified their ap- i proval of the movement by indorsing 1 it. The opinion has been expressed by 1 some that such a law would be un- i constitutional, hut it is pointed out by the anti-cigarette, people that oth- 1 er towns and cities now have such < an ordinance on their books and it is being enforced without any trouble. ] nonea ram is saia to be one of tne ' places where it is against the law to 1 purchase or give away a cigarette.
