- StarsRobert BolderFrank OwensWallace BeeryGrass County went "dry" and as a consequence so did Hollow Center, which was located in Grass County. The drug store was owned by Doctor Perkins. Just before the county went dry a temperance society was formed in the Center and great rivalry existed between Deacon Carpenter and Doctor Perkins for the presidency. As election day approached, the Deacon seemed to be the most likely candidate, and as day by day he gained new friends and supporters, his stock in the heart of Widow Green went rocketing, where before it had been very below par, owing to the bullish tactics of Doc Perkins. The Deacon was never much on looks, but he realized that he must keep up appearances before the widow. His beauty had one drawback, his hair. Then the crowning sorrow of his life came: his hair began to fall out, and as his hair decreased in quantity so did the love of Widow Green for the Deacon. He kept more and more to himself, while Doc Perkins, campaigning about town in great style, gradually won over the greater majority of the people. In the meantime the Deacon was trying everything known to the scientist of hair (the barber) in the village, but to no avail. Then the Deacon found a city newspaper and discovered in Aunt Jane's "Beauty Column" a remedy for falling hair, but one of the principal factors was "Whiskey!" Now the Center was dry, and he running for the office of president of the temperance society was known to be a temperance man. But he must have the whiskey, absolutely, but how was he to get it? To go to Doc Perkins and ask for whiskey spelled ruin. No, he could not do that. Ah, he had it, he would bribe Beavens, the driver of the stagecoach, whose daily ride took him over to Tree County, which was "wet." So Bevans went, but on his return journey he picked up Doc Perkins.. Deacon Carpenter was anxiously waiting for Beavens. Beavens arrived and slyly slipped the bottle to the Deacon. This action was seen by the Doc. He thought a lot, but said nothing. Deacon went home and prepared his tonic. Then he went to the meeting which was to be held in the town hall. He went and the smell of whiskey accompanied him. So it was that when he got up to speak a strange rustling sound seemed to take place in the hall. A little breeze stirred, and carried on it a very distinct smell of "licker." Doc Perkins smelled it and so did the rest. Doc Perkins found out where the smell came from. Poor Deacon was ousted and ostracized. The Deacon wended his way homeward and the scent clung to him. He passed two tramps who were disgusted with the dryness of the town. The Deacon passed, but the tramps followed. He arrived home swearing vengeance. He would be handsome in spite of all these adversities. That the lotion was doing its work there was no doubt, for the Deacon found no hair on his coat; so he gave his hair another dose. He then turned round. When he turned round again he saw a retreating band attached to a retreating arm, which belonged to an about-to-retreat tramp. The Deacon gave a shout and the chase started. They passed the meeting house (the meeting had just let out). The good people of the town were horrified to see the Deacon pursuing two tramps with the whiskey. The tramps escaped and were later found intoxicated. They vindicated the Deacon. The election and also the Doc's wig came off. The Deacon won the election and also incidentally the Widow Green.
