Siloam Succumbs to Sin

"Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! ...Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink," sayeth Isaiah.

Visitors and residents of Siloam Springs will now be facing temptation at home, without having to drive across the state line to that land of wickedness known as Oklahoma. For the first time since John Brown chased the dram shops out of Siloam more than 60 years ago, beer and wine are flowing in the streets. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission approved a private club permit for the Italian Grille and Steakhouse at 1981 U. S. Highway 412 in Siloam Springs.

Woe is them, now that an adult can have a glass of wine with dinner. Next thing you know, they'll be masticating in the restaurant then stopping by the Wal-Mart to purchase an adult toy on the way home.
