Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1885-03-09

Boswell district failed, but consider |
able territory in district 10 was set to
district IL. On the whole a very
capable board of officers was selected |
and with a wise administration aud |
an ordinary pauper expense, the debt
of the town ought to be wiped out.
We again call attention to the fact
that the town is doing a heavy liquor
business, we'll and carefully as the
agent is managing it, and suggest
that smaller sales, would look better,
at least. With the aid of liquor
smugglers, the Express Co. and the
travelling liquor peddlers, there is no
particular danger of liquor famine
at present.
