Notice! Ordinance
Against Selling Cold Drinks On Sabbath In Effect
The Board of Commissioners of the town of Graham, at their
regular meeting, Monday, September 1st, adopted the following
ordinance:
Be it ordained that no person, firm or corporation shall, on
the Sabbath day, sell any cold drinks, cigars, cigarettes, tobaccos or the like
merchandise, providing that this does not apply to drinks sold and actually
served with meals; that any person violating the provisions hereof shall be
fined $5 for each offense.
It has been reported to me during this week that there is a
misunderstanding when this ordinance should go into effect, and as a result of
this misunderstanding, I have been informed that ordinance was violated on the
last Sabbath—hence this is to state the ordinance referred to above became a
law in full force upon its adoption, September 1st, and I desire to
state frankly, that this law WILL be enforced.
--Robt. L. Holmes,
Mayor
