Ironton is supreme; sweet on the temperance question.
The Journal mentions an instance where a person called at that office and after concluding his business invited the editor to take a drink, which was declined.
The Editor thereupon congratulates the town upon the possession of printers free from the influence of strong drink.
It occurs to us that all the attaches of that concern could not have been present when the invitation was given, or the announcement would have given a different result.
