 | "A communication was received from J.C.Smock stating his reasons for signing a liquor license in the town of Sherwood, and that if it was inconsistent with the discipline of the Church he asked to be released from membership-- his resignation was accepted." --Middleton Friends Church Minutes, May 26,1895. (By a tragic coincidence, the entire business district burned to the ground less than one week later, on June 1, 1895.) |

Prohibition created a whole new problem for small town America: The property tax. Thank God America finally wised up by the end of the 20th Century. Gaming (AKA legalized gambling)is back bigger than ever.
Well not that big of an improvement I guess.
