A representative of Roulston's store called at our office and stated that he did not refuse to let a customer have any sugar after having purchased $1.77 worth of goods, as stated in our last issue. We published the state¬ ment on the assurance of a reputable citizen, but the store having denied this, we are giving equal prominence lo their dfc.iial.
Later the writer had a talk with Mr. Kreyer, manager of the Roulston store. He says that it is not their policy to refuse sugar; that they' try to favor their customers, but have made it a rule to let the customers have sugar, when purchasing other goods without specifying the amount purchased.
Candidates for  Village  President
Candidates for Village President for the election next spring are al¬ ready being talked of to succeed Robert ¦ G^ Anderson, who will not again be a candidate. Clarence .A. Edwards and former President James Hanse are mentioned for the office.
Sessions Lively or Lovely The Freeport Review notes that the Board of Village Trustees "held a quiet session Wednesday afternoon. President Anderson still being con¬ fined to his home and Trustee Naxon being absent on court work." The inference is that had the President and Trustee Naxon been present tnere would have been a lively session—Out un Long-Island, in Brooklyn Eagle.
For information, Bro. Cooper, which may also be wanted by some of our other readers, it is a custom of the Village Board to defer action on all matters when any of the members' are absent, which was our reason for re¬ ferring to this as a quiet session. As a matter of fact, times are not like they used to be and there are very few meetings of the Village Board at which it is possible to get a good news item as we used to in the days gone by. Incidentally, big brother Eagle Man, we said Maxson, not Naxon.
There are indications that coal will \e scarce this winder. Bay now and be prepared. Sinclair Raynor. 8 No. Miain St.; tel. 184.—Adv.
