Rutland County.

Gentlemen: Remembe the first Thurs
day in January. The importance of that
occasion demands your serious attention
The interests, temporal and eternal, of the
people are at stake. Never was there a
time, when more judgment and decision OF

more responsibility rested upon the friends
Of temperance.

very obvious fact, that misery and wretch

Der OF licenses granted and the number OF
licenses granted, will depend upon the
character Of the individuals elected Liz

necessity OF selecting suitable persons to
occupy this high and responsible station.

or supported by the IIiends in Rutland CO.

point, which shall triumph over every

alteration is made in regard TO The price
o. the paper, 10 those WHO pay in advance.
The object is TO hold out an iDducement

crease o. advertising patronage enables
me to afford the paper little lower, than
when ! had less Of it; and if the list can
be doubted, with the cash strictly in adj

copy per year, above the expense Of agen-

on the part OF those who now take, and
that before the year closes, might enable
