Office this board have given good satisfaction as any
that we have ever had any other board that could
be selected Indeed we have heard no word OF COM
plant of them except in relation 10 the license question
"a question on which, the public are somewhat dl
vided thereon no board can give universal satisfaction
Yet on this question they have acted in conformity With
the well ascerained will of majority of the voters OF
the county, and, it is believed, Of decisive majority in
every town of the county. Why then, should we not
mind the old adage, and "le well enough alone "?-
