Brownsville is enjoying the bles-
sings (or disadvantages as you may
happen to look at it) of prohibition
today all the saloons being closed on
account of the election. Under-the
Texas laws all places where intoxi-
cants of Any kind are sold must close
at midnight of the night preceding
the election and remain closed for
twenty-four hours. Of course none
of the thirsty ones ever thought of
patronizing the ferry.
