HYPOSBITES AND PROHIBIT TIONISTS.

The Knoxville press despatches indicate that more liquor is sold in Tennessee city than before it went over to prohibition; business suffers in lower rents and reduced revenue, but "clubs” and "soft drink saloons’’ thrive. We wonder what the "clubs” and “soft drink saloons” thrive upon. We should like to wager a big red apple that they don’t thrive on their "ears” and lemon trade. The one best bet is that a whole lot of hypocrites and “prohibitionists” patronise them, and demanding something stronger than "sars” and lemonade get mighty mean whisky for which they pay a good stiff price. It has always been a mystery how the prohibitionists can stand for such darn poor whisky when they can get good whisky and not lay themselves open to the serious charge of being called sneaks. If any of them care to know how they can get good whisky we will tell them.—"Bonforts.”
