[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger March 17, 1881 VINTON Vinton township which a year ago contained no place of whisky traffic can now boast of three rum holes. Mrs. Elizabeth Lockard, of McArthur, died, suddenly, Sunday morning of last week. The deceased had been afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism, which confined her to her bed for the last six years. Her age was 55. After the expiration of his present liquor license, Jasper N. Dillon, a McArthur saloonist, has concluded to resort to some worthier avocation than retailing Jersey lightning for a livelihood. Jasper's resolution is deserving of general imitaion.
