“Beaver Lick is one of the most quiet villages on earth, especially on the Sabbath, though two shops are dealing out the deadly drug on week days. Thanks be to God and honor to the proprietors, not one drop is sold here on Sunday. We owe it to William Rex Robinson, who came and lectured to us until with tears in their eyes proprietors of liquor promised him they’d vend no more on Sunday.” from Covington’s Daily Commonwealth, September 16, 1879. |
