DEAR Mr.. EDITOR Il do not know
whether the Board of Education or the VIII
lage Improvement Society is the proper body
to appeal to on the subject of the very remark
able spelling which greets the eye, on ap-
preaching the village from the East. There is
a sort of redundancy of lettering on the guide
post which points us on to Harrington, which
is pleasing to the generous mind, but we soon
find the balance restored by the economy in
spelling which portrays, at the blacksmith
shop just beyond, that Repairing and JOB
ing are done here" We are somewhat fortu-
nate in not being quoted by some newspaper
correspondent as bad spoilers do not you
think SOP IT.
Mr.. Editor:-Although have severed
my connection with Litchfeld as a resident.
have not lost all interest in the town, and
with desire to see its welfare promoted by
the removal of the curse of intemperanee, !
would call the attention of all its good citizens
TO the fact that at the coming town meeting
will be the time to vote on the question OF
license. l suppose no vote on this question
has been taken in your town for several years,
for have seen no record of such vote Has
no box been provided at the polls for this pur-
poser 1t is hoped that those whose duty ii
is to make such provision will do so in future
if they have not in the past. .''No License
is not failure in Winsted, and need not be In
Litchfield. If there is not enough temperance
spirit in the town to enforce no license, ther
where is its Christianity? Because some
liquor will be sold in spite of all our efforts
does not give us the privilege of licensing
man to sell. We might as reasonably sell {
man the right to commit crime because h,
sometimes (or even always has been success
full in escaping conviction. call attention t,
this question with the hope that the friends o
Temperance in Litchfeld will take the matte
into consideration, and decide to make al
earnest effort on the 4th of October to carry
the town for no license, and if successful,
trust they will spare no pains to enforce it,
